I have a map in utm z11 meters and I'm projecting it to state plane ft. I have made sure the vertical options is in meters in UTM and then changed it to...
What format is your data in? The projection units option is for the horizontal units and is independent of the elevation units. If you are exporting to a...
GM has a very usefull feature that it can make foot prints of satellite iamges (make area feature form selected layer bounds). Same capability may please be...
Saif, To just get a look at the footprints of layers quickly you can create a map catalog out of them. That way the actual data won't have to draw until you ...
Mike, I received the data in .dwg format but it originally came from the city to a client so the city probably converted it from .shp files. When I open the...
Cindy, When you load a vector layer and are prompted for a projection there is typically also an option to specify what units the elevation values are in. This...
Thanks Mike , however what about adding an option button "make area features form selected layer bounds or all loaded data" in batch conversion ? Regards Saif ...
Saif, I'm not exactly sure what you would intend that to do. Would it create an area bounds layer and then export it during the batch conversion or add the ...
Mike,  Thanks for your support to everybody  ESRI supports three types of Geodatabase, personal Geodatabase, File Geodatabase, and ArcSDE  Geodatabase. ...
Say I have 1000 IKONOS images and I want to see that what/which area they cover. One method is that I load all the images , then I select all of them and...
Gamel, We would love to support the other geodatabase formats, but so far ESRI has not released their formats so there is no way for us to add support for...
Saif, I think this would be pretty much equivalent to using the File->Create New Map Catalog menu command to create a map catalog of the images, then just ...
Greetings Mike, When I Geocode from addresses it offers the option to 'Geocode to loaded Road Data rather than online database'. Since the results for my...
As the Tiger/Line database is U.S. only, what is there for other countries? Canada, Panama and Mexico come to mind for my purposes. I am unaware of a similar...
Bob, I'm not aware of any good addressable databases for outside the US other than the very expensive ones from Navteq or TeleAtlas. Thanks, Mike Global Mapper...
Mike, Is there in import for .djvu files in GM so I can geo-reference and export to a format that will work for ArcMap? Thanks, Jerry [Non-text portions of...
Where do the files go so that GM can see them? ALAN From: global_mapper@yahoogroups.com [mailto:global_mapper@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Global Mapper...
Hi Mike, I'm looking for the best method to create a number of parallel cross sections from a DEM. I've done this before by using the 3D viewer and tilting...
Kim, Could you just use the Path Profile Tool to get the cross-section of the DEM and save it? You can even automate that if needed using the Global Mapper ...
Hi Mike, It will be good to consider putting legend based on the area fill (color or texture). I am suggesting here a simple one like the one in ArcView (the...
AL, Automatic legend creation based on loaded data is something I hope to add in the v11 release with the new map layout tool. Thanks, Mike Global Mapper...
Mike, How to get transparent background in icons of point symbols. Format .ico for example. I tried to use .bmp too - no success. Only yours can have...
Michael, You should be able to use .ico files to get transparent backgrounds in custom symbols. You can't with BMP files. In the v11 release of Global Mapper I...
I've brought in a dxf file with point data and I can't select any of the points. I've had this problem before and I think it's something really easy that I'm...
I would first check the Vector Display tab of the Configuration dialog and make sure that you have unchecked the option to allow selection of points. This is...
Mike, Perhaps the best way of representing geology symbols is to treat them as fonts; there we can change the size, color and orientation, all in one step....
