- Will
the current version of ET GeoWizards work with ArcGIS 9.3
Yes.
ET GeoWizards versions 9.8 and above is available in two sub- versions
with almost the same functionality:
- for ArcGIS 9.1 (supports versions
9.0 and 9.1)
- for ArcGIS 9.2 and above (supports
version 9.3)
ArcGIS 8.x is not supported in this
version
- What
ESRI formats can be used as outputs?
It depends on your version of ArcGIS.
- ArcGIS 9.2 and above - Shapefiles, standalone Personal and File
Geodatabase feature classes.
- Pre ArcGIS 9.2 ( versions 8.1 to 9.1) - Shapefiles and standalone
Personal Geodatabase
feature classes.
- If
I purchase ET GeoWizards for ArcGIS 9.0, do I need to purchase the
version for ArcGIS 9.2 when I upgrade?
No. A license of ET GeoWizards is valid for all the versions of the
software. When you switch to ArcGIS 9.2, you just need to uninstall your
current ET GeoWizards version, download and install the version for
ArcGIS 9.2.
- It would
be nice to have a "Smooth polygon" function that works something like the smooth
polyline.
We published a white paper addressing this problem. Read it here
NEW:
ET GeoWizards 9.6 and above have a function that will perform polygon smoothing
directly.
- Are
there any limitations of the registered version of ET GeoWizards?
In
general there
are no limitations. The performance is very much dependant on the RAM available. The
recommended RAM size is at least 512 Mb . If there are some limitations imposed by
ArcObjects objects (no such limitations currently known) they will apply to the functions
of ET GeoWizards that are using them.
Exceptions from the above
are the Build TIN and Build Thiessen polygon functions which cannot be
used on datasets with more than 2 million points.
- Has
there been any considerations on the ability to add these tools into
model builder.
Yes, the ToolBox implementation of ET GeoWizards was introduced in
version 9.2. ET GeoWizards 9.7 has 94 tools available for use in ArcToolbox
environment - Model Builder, Command Line, Python, Java or VB
scripting
- Can I
use the GeoWizards with an ArcView license?
Yes. All
the functions of ET GeoWizards can be used with any type of license (ArcView, ArcEditor,
ArcInfo)
- What is
the difference between the “Fuzzy” tolerance used in ET GeoWizards and the
“Cluster” tolerance used in the Integrate function of ArcEditor?
Practically there is no
difference. The Integrate function of ArcEditor and ArcInfo does not correct the topology
of a data set, it just snaps the vertices that are within the Cluster tolerance together.
If for example there are two polylines that are closer to each other than the cluster
tolerance, Integrate will only make them coincident. The clean functions of ET GeoWizards
will use the Fuzzy tolerance to snap the vertices together, create intersections and clean
the duplicate features. The term fuzzy tolerance is used in the topology functions of
Arc/Info and therefore is more suitable for ET GeoWizards.
