|
| General Improvements |
- Faster geocoding (4x+)
- Support for Metadata ISO 19139
- Direct read of Microsoft Excel files
- New Epson print drivers support
- New COGO editing/construction tools
- Support for OGC GML Simple Features data
|

|
Stability/Quality is significantly improved, driven by testing and user reports. At ArcGIS 9.2, geodatabases will support additional data types, functionality, and workflows. |
|
| Additions to the core geodatabase data model |
- Terrain support (i.e., TINs stored and managed within the geodatabase including the ability to use lidar data)
- High-precision coordinate storage for enhanced precision
- New File Geodatabase for personal data collections with support for single-user editing without a DBMS
|
|
| Improved raster management |
- Additional format support (netCDF, ECW, etc.)
- Improved projection (faster and more accurate)
- Improved performance (loading and display)
- On-the-fly orthorectification and pan sharpening
|
|
| Improved transaction management |
- Nonversioned editing support using RDBMS short transactions
- Geodatabase replication between systems
- Geodatabase history to record and display changes over time
|
|
| Temporal data and analysis |
- Improved support for visualizing and analyzing temporal change, patterns, and trends
- Support for netCDF time-based and multidimensional data
- New toolbox that provides multidimensional geoprocessing tools
|
|
| Animation |
- Animation tools now available in ArcMap.
- Ability to create, play back, and export animations.
- Support for time-based animation so you can synchronize the display of multiple layers on same time interval.
- Graphs can be animated.
- All data can be displayed, graphed, and animated.
|
|
| Dynamic modeling and looping |
- The geoprocessing framework and ModelBuilder now have the ability to perform looping and iteration. This enables the output of a process to be the input to a previous process in the same model.
- Batch model processing.
- Associating layers with models.
|
|
| New graphing options |
- Graph color can be synchronized with the symbology used to display layers.
- Better handling of temporal data and time axes.
- Dynamically linked feature selection between graphs, tables, and maps.
|
|
| CAD Support |
- Georeferencing toolbar that allows users to move, rotate, and scale CAD files using the mouse; create control points; and so forth
- Full support for TrueType fonts
- Improved CAD text and symbology
- Improved Desktop Help on CAD
