Full path to folder or object shown during selection.

File and object selection tools support full Network Neighborhood navigation.

Preview thumbnail of any object type before final selection (automatic or on-demand).

Universal Naming Convention (UNC) provides paths to Project Files on shared machines.

Network paths no longer need to be mapped to drive letters to access Project Files.

Project Files greater than 2 gigabytes now supported on Solaris 2.6 or later.

Visualization

Geolocking is now automatic for multiple views.

Customize display menus and toolbars from window (turn off unused features).

Clipping to extents for geographically attached groups now controlled by one group.

Add attributes to elements as they are created with sketch tool in GeoToolbox.

Directly create a table and records with sketch tool for elements being drawn.

Layouts

Create and save reusable templates for any kind of map/image layout.

Templates prompt for new layers, text, and other possible changes.

Retain general layout characteristics (grid projection, spacing, etc.) while altering template.

Simplify a complex LegendView by hiding layers (e.g. layers used only for DataTips).

Show only 1 entry in LegendView for group with several similar layers (e.g. virtual mosaic).

Advanced Tabular Viewing

Display tables with large number of fields much faster.

Perform real-time scrolling.

Tabular view available from icon on toolbar.

Use icon to insert a new record into the table.

Resize field widths by dragging column separators.

Reorder fields and headers by dragging.

HelpTip on vertical scroll bar indicates current record's position in table.

Automatically scroll to first selected record when showing all records.

Expanded sorting, such as sort in ascending/descending order or sort on multiple fields.

Deleting records now more protective by requiring stronger confirmation.

Database Management

Multiple records now read from table linked via ODBC, therefore much faster.

Dialog for creating new tables has been improved.

Bubble filter can delete attributes or attach them to parent or neighbor polygon.

Auto-Import Text to Tables

Text files automatically scanned to determine their table format:

Comma separated data structures are detected and inserted into fields.

Columnar data structures are imported into fields.

When first text line contains field names, they will be used.

Number of fields, field types, decimal places, and others are identified.

Modify the results of the automatically detected format in dialog box.

Right mouse button on the name of an atlas level in control panel exposes popup menu to show/hide all groups or expand/collapse all groups in level.

Right mouse button on the name of a group in control panel exposes popup menu to show/hide all layers or zoom to group's extent.

Right mouse button on the name of a layer in control panel exposes popup menu to get metadata or zoom to layer's extent.

New Legend panel provides attractive legend for layers actually exposed in a view.

Select view and coordinates in Latitude/Longitude, State Plane, or UTM system.

Choose units for coordinates to be meters, feet, kilometers, or miles.

Zoom at view center to 1 mile, 10 miles, 1 km, 10 km, full resolution, and many others.
