ArcView GIS currently supports ERDAS IMAGINE 8.5 for Windows and Solaris. Support for the ERDAS IMAGINE image format has been enhanced to support reading of pyramid layers. Pyramid layers allow for quick display of very large images. The extension can only read pyramid layers already created for an IMAGINE image. Pyramid layers can be created using ERDAS IMAGINE or ESRI ArcGIS 8x products, specifically ArcMap and ArcCatalog.

Online Help
You will find several help topics referring to ArcView 3.2a were not changed to reflect the ArcView 3.3 release. These changes were not made due to localization requirement limitations. However, references to the 3.2a release also apply to the ArcView 3.3 release. Please see the "What's New in ArcView GIS 3.3" book for complete details of what's new for the ArcView GIS 3.3 release and specific changes that apply to the ArcView 3.3 release. The following are key items that have not been updated in the ArcView 3.3 Online Help:
(1) Direct Connect with Database Access 2.1c. Please read the Readme Database Access document for more information. The Readme Database Access document can be found by going to the Start button, Programs, ESRI, ArcView 3.3, Readme Database Access. It can also found under ESRI\AV_GIS30\ARCVIEW\ETC \Dbaccess.txt. (2) The Arcview GIS 3.3 Online Help includes outdated contact information for Lizard Tech. The correct information is: LizardTech Inc. The Exchange Building 18th Floor 821 2nd Avenue Seattle, WA 98104 USA Ph: 206-652-5211 Fax: 206-652-0880 (3) The updated ESRI Data and Maps data bundle included with ArcView GIS 3.3. (4) ERDAS Imagine Image extension now supports ERDAS IMAGINE 8.5 libraries. (5) NITF Image Support extension support at 3.3 has been enhanced to read all images in .ntf file as well as rotated NITF images. (6) The new MrSID Image Support extension now supports the new Generation III MrSID images from LizardTech. (7) At version 3.3, the SDTS raster import utility has been updated to support the latest raster profile types released by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). (8) Updated CAD Reader to support AutoCAD 2000 DWG files-release 15. (9) ArcView 3.3 fixes the PC Arc/Info data reader to correctly read and display PC Arc/Info double precision coverages.
Installation
During the ArcView GIS 3.3 installation, a message may appear referring to Windows setting up the Control Panel. This occurs while ArcView GIS 3.3 setup installs MDAC 2.5. No user action is required, the message is informational only. If you change your log-in name from the log-in name you installed with, ArcView 3.3 is no longer listed in the "Add/Remove Programs" dialog, even if you still have administrative power. Workaround: Use the log-in name you installed with, and then go to the "Add/Remove Programs" dialog to uninstall Arcview 3.3.
When the NITF Image Support extension and the TIFF 6.0 Image Support extension are loaded at the same time, attempting to use an NITF image containing annotation will result in a non-fatal error message. Non-annotated NITF image will not display an error message. The Spatial Analyst "Convert To Grid" function does not highlight for NITF and MrSID images in ArcView3.3. These image types cannot be converted to grids. An error message may appear while using the NITF extension or IMAGINE Image Support extension after uninstalling Image Analyst. Workaround: The error messages will no longer appear if Image Analyst is re-installed.
Pathname limitations
In addition to pathname and filename limitations already mentioned in the online help, there is a limit on Windows to 123 characters in the pathname. Longer pathnames may return errors. Workaround: Place your data into a location with a shorter path.
Printing
Layouts with several different fonts or font variations process do not print to HP DeskJet 1600CM/PS using enhanced PostScript. Limited memory on the printer may be the cause. Workaround: (1) Adding more memory to the printer. (2) Using fewer fonts or variations. (3) Printing with the basic PostScript option, the native driver. (4) Printing through ArcPress. Printing large MrSID images to large page sizes causes the printer to hang. It fills up the disk with temporary files and may print slow. A MrSID image of a few megabytes really represents hundreds of megabytes if not gigabytes of data. This data cannot be printed in its compressed form, so it needs to be uncompressed. This takes time and resources. Workarounds: (1) To avoid hanging your printer always export a layout or view using the PostScript New (EPS) option and then use ArcPress to send the exported PostScript files to your plotter. (2) To avoid filling up your disk with temporary files, obtain more disk space or use the AVMRSID_MAXSIZE environment variable to limit the size of temporary images that are created. Using the AVMRSID_MAXSIZE environment variable to limit the size of a temporary image will result in the MrSID image having less resolution in your plot. The AVMRSID_MAXSIZE environment variable should be set to the maximum size of temporary image you have space for in bytes. The ideal value depends on the size of images you are working with, available system resources, and on the quality required for the printed imagery. We recommend you experiment with multiple value settings to find one that is ideal. It is best to never set the AVMRSID_MAXSIZE environment variable to greater than half of your available disk space. You will need room for both the temporary image and the plot file. The AVMRSID_MAXSIZE environment variable can also be used to speed up printing of MrSID images. Setting the AVMRSID_MAXSIZE environment variable to 0 is the same as not setting it at all.
Projection Utility
Shapefiles of type MultiPoint are not projected by the utility. Workaround: Convert the shapefile from MultiPoint to Point using MultiPoint.AsList or PolyLine.Explode before projecting (since PolyLine inherits from MultiPoint). A sample script can be found in ArcView's help for the PolyLine.Explode request. The fieldname FeatureID is reserved and will not appear on the output shapefile. Workaround: Make the shapefile a theme in ArcView, then open its table and alias or hide the field, then save your shapefile to a new shapefile. DBase III format for .dbf files allows numeric fields a maximum precision of 19. The utility will display this error if it encounters numeric fields with a precision higher than 19: "An unknown error occurred in writing shapefile." Workarounds:
(1) Use the "Projector!" extension (prjctr.avx), which is a sample extension found in ESRI\AV_GIS30\ARCVIEW\Samples\ext\prjctr.avx. (2) Modify the data in ArcView (hide the fields and save to a new shapefile) before processing with the Projection Utility. Turning off virus checkers greatly improves the performance of the Projection Utility. In some cases, specifying the GeoTransformation on the command line may cause the data to move in the opposite direction. Workaround: Perform the GeoTransformation using the interface (wizard).
ShapeDXF
To display information to the screen about a shapefile using the ShapeDXF program, the program must be run from a Command Prompt. To list information about a shapefile in a text file, you can use the ShapeDXF shortcut found in the ArcView GIS Program group. See the ArcView GIS online Help for more information about the ShapeDXF program.
SQL
Access number fields with decimals are being padded with extra zeros in ArcView GIS. Also, the "*" character does not provide access to all available tables in the database in ArcView GIS Version 3.1 and remains a known limit for 3.3.
Sample Extensions
There is a conflict between the ADRG and the sample DIGEST raster image extension when both extensions are loaded. The ADRG extension will attempt to load ASRP images due to the same .img file extension of the image files. Therefore, the ADRG and ASRP extensions should not be loaded at the same time.
