17. Enterprise – Manage Large Data Sets Different Types of Spatial Filters

18. Wider variety of filter definition methods Enterprise – Manage Large Data Sets Spatial Filter Toolbar

19. Enterprise – Manage Large Data Sets Spatial Filters • Reference Features • Features that will not be affected by spatial filters • Replace the vicinity connection Advantages: • Simpler to use and understand • Individual feature classes may be selected, rather than an entire connection • Feature classes from multiple connections may be selected • When a feature class is designated as containing spatial filter reference features, it is available in both filtered and unfiltered form

20. Map Display – Legend Improvements Legend Display • Legend groups • Dockable legends • Drag-and-drop of multiple legend entries • Change display order of thematic entries • Titles and subtitles may be edited in-place • Cut / Copy / Paste • Ability to change the basic type of display (e.g. standard to thematic)

21. Map Display – Legend Improvements • Legend Commands • New Add Legend Entries command • Combines Add Feature Class Entry and Add Query Entry • Simplified management of Master Legend • Master Legend supports images, thematic displays, queries, and secondary geometry fields

22. Map Display -- Styles • New Style GUI • Named styles • Sophisticated hierarchical style definition • Attribute based symbology • Raster and vector translucency • More delivered styles • Over 50 additional Microsoft-provided fill types • New color schemes for thematic displays

23. Map Display - Vector Translucency

24. Map Display - Image Translucency

25. Map Display – Style Display Mode • Intersection clearing Feature by Feature Style by Style

26. Map Display – Area Styles • Interior boundary tints • Turn off area boundary display • Display any number of line styles for a boundary • Use pattern line styles for a boundary • Display multiple fill styles for an interior • Hatch Fill Improvements

27. Map Display – Area Styles • Interior boundary tints

28. Map Display – Area Styles • Pattern Fill Style Improvements • Pattern with any point style • Pattern rotation • Staggering - control the distance of the stagger • Fill Mode. • Clipped • Overlap • Inside

29. Map Display – Text Styles • Define Size in a unit other than points • Frame • Distance from text • Rectangular or round corners are to be • Justification of multi-line text • Control vertical spacing between lines in multi-line text

30. Map Display - Text Halos

31. Map Display – Image Styles • Image translucency • Contrast and brightness of 8-bit color index imagery • Invert the display of 8-bit color index imagery • Transparent color • A color (R,G,B) within the image which is to be treated as transparent

32. Map Display – Point Styles • New SVG-based symbol format • Open industry standard format • Support for parametric symbols in which the symbol text changes with the display of each feature instance, e.g. Interstate Highway Shields • Direct display of symbols • MicroStation Cell Files (*.cel) • AutoCAD Drawing Files (*.dwg) • Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) • Support for additional image types • png, jpg, gif, tif, ico, wmf, emf

33. Data Maintenance Major theme of 6.0 has been to improve the workflows for data collection and editing • Construction Aids • Redesigned Insert Feature Command • Additional Enhancements

34. Data Maintenance – Construction Aids Construction Aids streamline collection by providing temporary placement tools during placement or editing without exiting the command.

35. Data Maintenance – Insert Feature • Simpler User Interface • Compact • Context-based placement modes • Short cut keys
