[+] Options to add output layer to current map and create spatial index for output shapefiles. Export Data to MS Excel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [*] Redesigned in C++. [+] Supports processing of the selected features. [+] Exporting of OID fields. Table Statistics ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [*] Completely redesigned in C++ as a wizard. [+] Supports processing of the selected features/records/fields. [+] Supports personal geodatabases as output. [+] New statistics and parameters for calculation. [+] Summary information at each step and more... [!] New trial period [!] New licensing

------------------------------What's new in XTools Pro 1.1.1: ------------------------------Extract Map ~~~~~~~~~~~ [*] Previously, feature classes with identical filenames were overwritten while extracting into shapefiles. Now suffixes (ex.: _1, _2 etc.) are added to the identical filenames so that all the extracted shapefiles are kept. [*] Field names of the joined tables in case of extraction to shapefiles were cut awry, which is now fixed (joined table names are omitted). Table Restructure ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [-] While restructuring tables from the personal geodatabases (.mdb) fields Shape_Area and Shape_Length are copied as Shape_Area0, Shape_Length0 (with aliases Shape_Area and Shape_Length). Then it was impossible to remove these duplicated fields from the table. Now this is fixed, copied fields can be removed. [-] String Capitalization sometimes could be arbitrarily changed in the output data if not specifically defined. Fixed. [-] Append option: if the Source field for the fields Shape_Area and Shape_Length is set as None that could lead to errors. Fixed.

Aggregate Features/Records ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [-] Applying this tool on a complicated geometry (for example, polygons with self-intersections) sometimes could result in missing some features in the output data. This bug is now fixed. Calculate Tool ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [*] Feature classes with topology and networks are now supported in this tool (this was revealed as error 4436 when applying Calculate tool to feature classes with topology or networks). Transfer/Convert Selected Features ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [-] Sometimes converting polygon features into multipoint layers could lead to errors, this is now fixed. MultiDelete Fields ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [*] Now it is not allowed to select and delete all the existing attribute fields. Like in ArcGIS 9, at least one field other than OID (FID) and Shape should be kept. This relates to shapefiles and standalone tables. Open Attribute Table ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [*] Field aliases were not supported. Now, like in ArcGIS ArcMap, Open Attribute Table button always shows field aliases if they are present, otherwise field names are used. Make One Polygon from Polylines ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [+] Use input features order option was added Make One Polygon from Points ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [+] Use input features order option was added Make One Polyline from Points ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [+] Use input features order option was added

----------------------------What's new in XTools Pro 1.1: ----------------------------Add XYZ Coordinates ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [+] Spatial reference support: now XY coordinates can be added in the user-defined coordinate system (this coordinate system is used only for calculating coordinates values, data itself is not projected) [+] Conversion to DMS (D M' S.SS") format option for angular units [+] Polylines support: for polylines user can add XYZ coordinates for FROM, TO, or Center points [-] Invalid features are processed correctly now Create FeatureClass/Table

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [+] built-in "create new personal geodatabase" functionality [+] option to pre-define (customize) coordinate system for created feature classes [*] changes in wizard design Extract Map ~~~~~~~~~~~ [+] group layers support [+] option for creating shapefile spatial indexes [+] option for enabling/disabling clipping features while extracting data Table Restructure ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [+] change capitalization for string fields functionality [+] tables/feature classes concatenate functionality [+] option for creating shapefile spatial indexes [*] changes in wizard design Following Feature Conversion tools are re-written in C++: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Convert Multipart Shapes to Single Parts - Convert Polygons to Polylines - Make One Polygon from Polylines - Make One Polygon from Points - Make One Polyline from Points These tools now support group layers, selected features, personal geodatabase feature classes as output format, and are compatible with ArcGIS 9. As well, algorithm of assembling polygons and polylines from points is significantly improved. [!] ArcGIS 9 compatibility ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [*] XTools Pro trial period is reset ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ !!! The NEW tools in the 1.1 version ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Create Personal Geodatabase tool - Delete Dataset tool
