Click here to download tool ARCLABEL2 Feature automation & update Generate a point coverage from a line and/or point coverage. One point is generated for each arc (or group thereof) and each point. Arcs are grouped based on {id_item} and contiguity.   All 9/22/1999
Click here to download tool ARCPOLY Feature automation & update Assigns the attributes from the arcs in a coverage to the polygons bounded by the arcs. It builds the polygons first if they have not already been built. Developed with CFF data in mind.   All 4/28/1997
Click here to download tool ARCREGION Feature automation & update Creates a new region subclass by aggregating polygons bounded by selected arcs.   All 5/6/1996
Click here to download tool AREAAGGREGATE2 Feature automation & update Aggregate clusters of polygons. AREAAGGREGATE2 is similar to the ARC AREAAGGREGATE command, but does not aggregate polygons that have different attributes. More Info All 09/17/2003
Click here to download tool BISECT Feature automation & update Bisect each of the selected arcs in ArcEdit.   All 2/16/2000
Click here to download tool CENTROIDLABELS2 Feature automation & update Moves label points for coverage polygons. Similar to the CENTROIDLABELS command in ARC, but has two additional methods for placing labels: the THICKEST or WIDEST locations.   IBM 2/12/1998
Click here to download tool COLLAPSE Feature automation & update Collapse polyons into centerlines. Only polygons less than a specified width will be collapsed. Connectivity with a specified line coverage is maintained. More Info All 07/23/2003
Click here to download tool COLLAPSE2 Feature automation & update Typify polygons. Polygons with a perimeter less than a specified length will either be removed or collapsed into a centerline. Polygons not connected to any arcs are removed. Polygons connected to one or more arcs are centerlined. More Info All 07/23/2003
Click here to download tool CONTOUR2 Feature automation & update Create a contour-line coverage from an elevation grid. Similar to CONTOUR command, but CONTOUR2 creates contours that are more consistent with the flow of the land. More Info All 10/07/2003
Click here to download tool DISSOLVEPOINT Feature automation & update Removes duplicate points from a point coverage, creating a new point coverage. Duplicate points are those that are in the same location and possess the same attribute(s) as a preceding point.   All 3/26/1997
Click here to download tool DOWNARCS Feature automation & update Flip arcs downstream using an elevation grid to determine direction.   All 12/18/1999
Click here to download tool GENERALIZE2 Feature automation & update Generalize the arcs in a line coverage. GENERALIZE2 is similar to ARC GENERALIZE (BENDSIMPLIFY option), except that in the process of generalizing arcs it also moves them to resolve spatial conflict with other arcs, a la OVERPOSTing. More Info All 07/31/2003
Click here to download tool GENERALIZEPT Feature automation & update Move the points in a coverage to remove spatial conflict with other points and/or lines. More Info All 07/23/2003
Click here to download tool GENPT Feature Automation & Update Generates regularly or randomly distributed points within the features in an existing polygon coverage. More Info ALL 7/19/2002
Click here to download tool MBC Feature Automation & Update Calculate the Minimum Bounding Circle (MBC) that contains one or more features. More Info ALL 1/4/2003
Click here to download tool POINTAGGREGATE Feature Automation & Update Aggregate clusters of points into single points. More Info ALL 07/23/2003
Click here to download tool POINTCATCHMENT Feature automation & update Generate region coverage of the catchment areas above points. Each input pour point receives its own catchment region in the output coverage.   All 2/11/2000
Click here to download tool POINTREMOVE Feature automation & update Remove points that are within a specified distance of linear features. More Info All 07/23/2003
Click here to download tool POLYPOINT Feature automation & update Create a point coverage from a polygon coverage. A point is created at the centroid of each polygon. More Info All 07/23/2003
Click here to download tool PROJECT2 Feature automation & update Projects a cover or grid from one coordinate system to another. PROJECT2 is a command-line front-end to the Project Tool in ARCTOOLS.   All 12/16/1999
Click here to download tool QUADS Feature automation & update Generates quadrangle and tic coverages in accordance with the GIS File Structure.   All 1/26/1999
Click here to download tool REGIONPOLY Feature automation & update Converts a region subclass into a polygon coverage. This is a copy of the ARC REGIONPOLY ATOOL which has been modified to accommodate pathnames greater than 80 characters.   All 10/28/1997
Click here to download tool ROUTEBUFFER Feature automation & update Buffer a route coverage to create a region coverage. Each route can be buffered aw a whole, or broken up into even length segments first.   All 8/26/1999
Click here to download tool RXPREGION Feature automation & update Create a region subclass from an RXP INFO table, such as that created by ARC REGIONPOLYLIST.   All 1/30/2000
Click here to download tool SPLITTER Feature automation & update Like ARC SPLIT command, but it automatically names the output coverages using the values from the <split_item> inserted into the <out_cover_template>.   All 10/15/1996
Click here to download tool UNDERPASS Feature automation & update Extend, or shorten, the length of underpass features (CFF code 145.) More Info All 07/23/2003
Click here to download tool WB_WS_CREATE Feature Automation & Update Create Water Body (WB) and Water Shoreline (WS) coverages in accordance with the OR/WA State Hydrography Framework.   ALL 8/1/2000
