TNC Public Tools is a toolset designed for use with ArcGIS Desktop 9.3. The tools were developed against the .NET 2.0 framework using Visual Studio 2005 and were designed to aid in everyday GIS tasks within the ArcMap environment.
Tools included :
- Dockable Overview Window - This tool allows the user to select a layer from the map to use as an overview layer within the dockable window. Users can navigate around the map from within the overview window by zooming to different areas.
- Display Area - This tool will display the area (in acres or hectares) of the polygons clicked on within the map. The area is displayed in a message box that shows the area of the polygons of all layers in the map. Note: There does not need to be an area field in the attribute table for this to function. To change from acres to hectares, right-click within the map while the Display Area tool is active and select from the context menu.
- Update Layer Metadata - Updates one or more layer files' metadata to reflect the metadata of the underlying data source(s).
- Batch Export Metadata - This form will allow the export of one or more metadata documents from datasets within the same workspace. Users can select from a list of export formats.
- List Datasets - This tool will create a dbf file that lists all of the datasets within a specified workspace (either a folder or a geodatabase) and extracts five key metadata attributes of each dataset. The attributes are 'Title', 'Abstract', 'Purpose', 'Origin', and 'Keywords'. more
