Create Maps Showing Your Data
ArcGIS makes it easy to create maps and add your own data to them. Using ArcGIS software's powerful visualization tools, you can access records from existing databases and display them on maps.

Integrate Data in Powerful New Ways
ArcGIS makes it easy to integrate data from all over your organization and work with the data geographically. Get more from your investment in data by using the data in new ways.

See the Big Picture
In no time you will be working with your data geographically: seeing patterns you could not see before, revealing hidden trends and distributions, and gaining new insights. What will you see when you map your data with ArcGIS?

Solve Real-World Problems
Working geographically enables you to understand relationships between the forces that drive your business so you will make better decisions and get the power you need to solve problems faster.

Present Your Work
Presenting your results and ideas is easy with ArcGIS. You can make great-looking publication-quality maps and create interactive displays by linking charts, tables, drawings, photographs, and other files. You will find that communicating geographically is a powerful way to inform and motivate others.

Develop Map-Based Applications
Give others the power to work geographically! Using Avenue, ArcGIS software's built-in object-oriented scripting language, you can quickly develop custom tools, interfaces, and complete applications. So it is easy to put ArcGIS to work in your organization.

ArcGIS StreetMap adds nationwide (U.S.) address geocoding and street map display to ArcGIS GIS and includes a compressed street and landmark database for the entire United States on a single CD.

StreetMap 2000

ArcGIS StreetMap 2000 is an enhanced version of ArcGIS StreetMap. ArcGIS StreetMap 2000 uses the GDT® Dynamap/2000™ street database, offering the most comprehensive and up-to-date U.S. street and address data available today. The extension includes a compressed street and landmark database for the entire United States on a single CD.

ArcPress for ArcGIS

The ArcPress for ArcGIS extension is a graphics metafile rasterizer that enables you to output high-quality maps on today's high-quality raster plotting devices.

Extensions and Utilities Bundled with ArcGIS GIS 3.2

Projection Utility

Projects shapefiles into a common coordinate system. The projection utility supports a number of projections and datum conversions including NAD27 to NAD83. A wizard-driven interface allows the user to select the data source to be projected, select the new projection, adjust or accept the default projection parameters, and specify the output data source name. A new shapefile and a new projection (.prj) file that contains information about the resulting projection parameters for the new shapefile are created.

Report Writer

The Report Writer extension integrates the industry-leading Seagate Crystal Reports report generation and editing application with the existing ArcGIS GIS Table, View, and Project user interface. Seagate Crystal Reports comes with ArcGIS GIS 3.1 and higher. The Report Writer extension is not available on UNIX.

CADReader

The CADReader extension supports AutoCAD Release 14.x drawing and DXF files. The extension also supports three-dimensional CAD drawings that can be read by ArcGIS 3D Analyst for analysis and interactive perspective viewing. The CADReader will also be compatible with AutoCAD 2000 DWG files (available soon and will be distributed for free to ArcGIS GIS 3.2 users).

Database Access

Database Access provides seamless interfaces to data stored in ESRI's Spatial Database Engine (SDE) databases and ODBC-compliant databases.

Dialog Designer

The Dialog Designer extension allows Avenue programmers to build custom dialogs within ArcGIS GIS. Standard form controls such as command buttons, radio buttons, list boxes, slider bars, and icons are available through Dialog Designer.

Digitizer

The Digitizer extension provides support for digitizers, allowing for the direct entry of data using standard Windows WinTAB drivers. The extension supports stream mode digitizing. The Digitizer extension is not available on UNIX.

GeoProcessing

The GeoProcessing extension is a wizard-based tool for performing spatial analysis functions in ArcGIS GIS including dissolve, merge, clip, intersect, union, and spatial join. (A buffer function is available through a menu choice in ArcGIS GIS.)

Graticules and Measured Grids

The Graticules and Measured Grids extension is a wizard-based interface for adding graticules and measured grids to layouts. Graticules show latitude and longitude on a map. A measured grid is a set of lines or tic marks and labels that represent linear distance in meters.

Image Readers

The Image Reader extensions provide direct-read support for ADRG, CADRG, CIB, IMAGINE, JPEG (JFIF), MrSID, NITF, and TIFF 6.0.

Legend Tool

The Legend Tool extension allows you to create a customized graphical legend in a layout using a set of wizard panels.

Military Data Reader

The Military Data Reader extensions allow ArcGIS GIS to directly read a variety of image data formats typically of interest to the defense/intelligence community. These extensions include support for the following formats:

VPF Viewer

The VPF Viewer extension allows vector product format (VPF) data to be read directly by ArcGIS GIS. The VPF Direct Read function can add 3D VPF Themes as three-dimensional type files. The VPF Direct Reader will automatically detect whether a VPF theme is three-dimensional and add it accordingly. (To view the files in full three-dimensionality, ArcGIS 3D Analyst is required).

DXF Export

A data conversion utility providing shape to DXF output.

SDTS Data Import

A data import utility that imports SDTS raster and point data. ESRI GRID files and ArcGIS GIS point shapefiles are created, respectively.

DIGEST (ASRP/USRP)

This sample extension provides direct read support for raster data compliant with DIGEST Annex A, a format primarily used by international defense and military agencies. The reader georeferences DIGEST images. There are two profiles: Arc Standard Raster Product (ASRP), produced by the UK Mil Survey, and UTM/Universe Polar Stereographic (UPS) (USRP), produced by the French Defense Mapping Agency. The sample extension supports ASRP 1.1 and 1.2 and USRP 1.2 and 1.3.

MGRS Coordinate Display

This sample extension provides interactive display of coordinates on the screen in the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS). MGRS is a coordinate system widely used in defense for designating the location of points of interest. The extension reads source data in decimal degrees, converts the coordinates to MGRS, and displays the MGRS coordinates in a dialog box in real time. The extension converts MGRS coordinates to UTM/UPS and latitude/longitude. As an option, the user can save the UTM/UPS and latitude/longitude coordinates in a separate file. The utility also generates graticules within an MGRS zone for WGS84.

S-57 Data Converter

The S-57 data format is defined in the International Hydrographic Organization's Special Publication S-57. This format was formerly referred to as DX-90. S-57 is object-oriented vector data stored in binary format. This sample extension converts the converted binary S-57 (ENC) data to ArcGIS GIS shapefiles. The extension supports all data types from S-57: spatial objects (connected nodes, isolated nodes, edges, and faces) and feature objects (point, node, line, area, and composite).

RPF Indexer

This sample extension uses the geographic extent of each raster product format (RPF) data set and generates a shapefile that can be used as an index theme for RPF image formats. The index theme helps the user choose the images of interest for easier display. The user selects a block or draws a box on the index theme in the View document to display the corresponding images. The user can click on the block (or user-drawn box) again and the images will undraw.
