What’s New in ArcGIS 10 Trent Hare June 2011
Major upgrade • ESRI’s “what’s new” – 177 pages! http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/pdf/whats_new_in_arcgis_10.pdf 1.) Direct support for PDS and ISIS2,3 support and current limitations 2.) New editing capabilities (interface changes) 3.) New mosaic raster type (virtual mosaics) 4.) New virtual image processing chainable functions (called Image Analyst). 5.) Hardware acceleration and new basemap layers (local cache) 6.) A few new toolbox helper functions and tips for background processing. 7.) Changes to 3D and Spatial Analyst (raster environment) 8.) New add-in environment 9.) if time: New temporal tools 10.) slide: new location for planetary radii definitions 11.) Python fully integrated
PDS, ISIS2, ISIS3 support • The good • Attached, detached, tiled or raw • Map projections (most). • 8, 16, 32 bit • Multiple bands • The bad • Only one NoData value. Means no ISIS saturation value support • Needs statistics to be build to show 16 and 32bit ranges • A couple GDAL bug fixes are not available (e.g. new continuation flag in ISIS3 label). Still recommend to convert to 8bit using GDAL
Editing • The Editor toolbar has been redesigned. • Feature templates (more like Illustrator editing). • New snapping environment – on by default. • Start editing by right-clicking a layer. • The Attributes and other editing windows have been redesigned. • Selecting features and editing vertices is easier - select, add, and remove multiple vertices by drawing a box.
USGS Crater Helper Tools (upgraded) http://resources.arcgis.com/gallery/file/arcobjects-net-api/details?entryID=B8D12158-1422-2418-3433-E1667CA43176 Facilitates feature mapping (craters, linear, closed) Still testing but available (linked below).
Mosaic Raster Type A mosaic dataset is a collection of raster datasets (images) stored as a catalog & viewed as a dynamically mosaicked image.
Virtual Image Functions Demo: Hillshade
Geoprocessing (background) Recommend disabling (for now)
Planetary definitions (reorg’d) Location: C:\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\Coordinate Systems
Favorite Projections (location Win7) Recommend adding a “Connect to Folder…” in ArcCatalog: C:\Users\<profile>\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.0\ArcMap\Coordinate Systems
