• MAPublisher Import Filters: for importing the most commonly used vector Geographic Information System (GIS) file formats with all attributes intact; DLG, SDTS, ArcInfo generate, ArcView shapefile, DXF, and MapInfo MID/MIF file formats can be imported, then scaled to a chosen page size and map scale. MAPublisher now imports and registers georeferenced JPEG and TIFF files and delimited text files for database functions.
• Map Scale Tools: The Map-to-Page projection feature mathematically converts the Earth's curved, three dimensional surface to flat map sheets; the transformation feature converts the native co-ordinate system to scaled map sheets; the scale can be calculated into accurate real world co-ordinates; use your native projection, or you can convert to your choice of one of 119 projections; tiles map files together in real-world co-ordinates; and preset the orientation of X and Y axes.
• Table of Attribute Values (Data Management): With "Table of Attribute Values", view, edit and update the data attribute/code list in spreadsheet form; edit or update an attribute list in a spreadsheet style interface; and select objects and view their attributes on the fly.
• Column Mapping Tools: let you assign attributes to newly added objects and modify existing attribute columns through list, add and drop column features.
• Add Column: add a new attribute column for a layer.
• Edit Column: calculate values for several objects in one step
• Drop Column: select a column to drop from a pull down list
• Selection Management Tools: Custom geographic locations and displays map scale and anchors in a floating pallet.
