ArcObjects Scripts
All scripts were written with VB6 using ArcObjects and were tested in ArcInfo 8.2 running on Windows 2000.Please visit the news page to view the most recent additions. In-depth installation instructions can be found here.
|
3D |
|
|
BlockDiagram v1.1 download |
This is a script for ArcScene that allows GRIDs or TINs to be displayed as solid block models or fence diagrams. The output is a multipatch shapefile. Several new features have been added, including the ability to create fence diagrams or use a polygon featureclass as the block model extents. |
|
Analysis |
|
|
FindArea download |
This tool allows the user to digitize a polygon on-screen. The user is then returned the area of the polygon. The polygon will remain in the view until the map is refreshed. |
|
MinimumBoundingCircle download |
Constructs the minimum bounding circles of the selected polygon features. The output can be saved as a shapefile or added as graphics to the map. Overlapping output circles can be either left as-is or unioned with adjoining circles. |
|
Unique description download |
User chooses a layer and field and is presented with the field's unique values. Features can also be selected using the dialog. |
|
Document |
|
|
AutoSave download |
Automatically saves the current MXD every five minutes. The MXD is saved to a different directory and filename rather than overwriting the open file. If ArcMap crashes and a save hasn't been made in a while, the AutoSaved document can then be retrieved. |
|
BackupMXD download |
Creates a single backup of the current MXD. The MXD is saved with a date/time stamp appended to the filename. |
|
Editing |
|
|
SplitAtPoint download |
This tool will split the selected line at the point clicked. If the point selected does not lie on the line, the closest point on the line will be used as the split. The tool is disabled until a single line is selected in an edit session. |
|
Map Production |
|
|
CopyLayers download |
Opens a dialog that allows multiple layers to be copied from dataframe to dataframe. |
|
MaskAnno download |
MaskAnno will change the halo colors of all text elements in the current anno target to match that of the polygon feature or background behind it. The point used to search for the background color is in the center of the text, so care must be taken when the text lies directly on the boundary of two different symbologies. This script is especially useful when trying to mask contours beneath elevation text. |
|
MultilineLegendText download |
Update This tool allows the user to create legends with multiline text. The selected layer's name, headings, and labels are displayed in the form window where they may be altered to lie on one or more lines. |
|
UngroupLayers download |
The user is presented a list of the group layers in the activated dataframe. The selected group layer is then ungrouped. |
|
UniformLegendText download |
When layers are added to a map that already has an associated legend, the label sizes of these new layers may be different than the others. This script allows the labels to be quickly changed to a uniform size. The user is presented with a list of the legend's existing font sizes. The desired size is then chosen from this list. |
|
Misc |
|
|
ViewLog download |
Displays the logfile for the coverage selected in the table of contents. |
|
Tools |
|
|
SelectAndIdentify download |
Left-click is used like the Select Elements tool; right-click is used like the Identify tool. Context menu is unavailable. Tool is useful for QCing annotation in tight locations like well fields (ArcMap doesn't always choose the most intuitive locations for anno). |
|
SelectPoly download |
Works just like the 'Select Features' tool, but uses a polygon instead of a rectangle. |
