GeoMedia 6.0 Overview

Additional Themes– CAD Integration– Data Access– Miscellaneous

Main Themes

– Enterprise

– Map Display

– Data Maintenance

Enterprise

GeoMedia 6.0 enterprise features fall into two main categories:

Simplify GIS workflows Management of large data sets

Enterprise – Simplify GIS Workflows

Simplify GIS Workfows– Libraries

• share geoworkspace information around the enterprise

– Desktop Configuration Utility• customise the appearance of the application interface

– Categories• simplify the presentation of geospatial data to the end-user

Enterprise – Simplify GIS Workflows

Libraries– Sharing of GeoWorkspace information

GWS GWSLibrary

Connections Catalogs Categories

Queries Legends Styles Spatial filters

Enterprise – Simplify GIS Workflows

Libraries Centralized management of GeoWorkspace

information that can be set up and distributed by an administrator

Enterprise – Simplify GIS Workflows

Desktop Configuration Save menu and toolbar configuration to an xml file Distribute around the enterprise Named custom GeoMedia application icons on the

desktop

Enterprise – Simplify GIS Workflows

Categories Simplify the management of large schemas Logical view of the physical datamodel

– Supports feature classes and queries– A feature class or query can be in more than one category– Categories are hierarchical– Aliasing of feature class and query names– Aliasing of attribute names– Subsetting of attributes– Reordering attributes

Enterprise – Simplify GIS Workflows

Summary– Simplify the presentation of the database within the GIS– Hide the complexities of warehouses and data connections.– Simplify geoworkspace setup and management– Configure the user interface for specific workflows

Enterprise

Management of Large Data Sets– Legend grouping

– Improved spatial filtering

– Categories

Enterprise – Manage Large Datasets

Legend Grouping Management of large legends

Enterprise – Manage Large Datasets

Enterprise – Manage Large Data Sets

Simple Schema Remodeling Union Command

– Combines data sets with similar schemas

– Attribute handling• Union• Intersection • First recordset

Attribute Selection– Subset

– Reorder

– Rename/alias

Enterprise – Manage Large Data Sets

Spatial Filters Simplified User Interface

– New dockable control puts filtering at user’s fingertips

– Single active filter in the GeoWorkspace– Filter name no longer required– Filter type displayed in dockable control– New Fit to Spatial Filter button– Spatial filter can be constantly displayed in user-

defined style

Enterprise – Manage Large Data Sets

Different Types of Spatial Filters

Enterprise – Manage Large Data Sets

Spatial Filter Toolbar

Wider variety of filter definition methods

Enterprise – Manage Large Data Sets

Spatial Filters Reference Features

– Features that will not be affected by spatial filters– Replace the vicinity connection

Advantages:

• Simpler to use and understand

• Individual feature classes may be selected, rather than an entire connection

• Feature classes from multiple connections may be selected

• When a feature class is designated as containing spatial filter reference features, it is available in both filtered and unfiltered form

Map Display – Legend Improvements

Legend Display– Legend groups – Dockable legends– Drag-and-drop of multiple legend entries– Change display order of thematic entries– Titles and subtitles may be edited in-place – Cut / Copy / Paste– Ability to change the basic type of display (e.g. standard to

thematic)

Legend Commands– New Add Legend Entries command

• Combines Add Feature Class Entry and Add Query Entry

– Simplified management of Master Legend– Master Legend supports images, thematic displays, queries,

and secondary geometry fields

Map Display – Legend Improvements

Map Display -- Styles

New Style GUI– Named styles– Sophisticated hierarchical style definition

Attribute based symbology Raster and vector translucency More delivered styles

– Over 50 additional Microsoft-provided fill types– New color schemes for thematic displays

Map Display - Vector Translucency

Map Display - Image Translucency

Map Display – Style Display Mode

Intersection clearing

Feature by Feature Style by Style

Map Display – Area Styles

Interior boundary tints Turn off area boundary display Display any number of line styles for a boundary Use pattern line styles for a boundary Display multiple fill styles for an interior Hatch Fill Improvements

Map Display – Area Styles

Interior boundary tints

Map Display – Area Styles

Pattern Fill Style Improvements– Pattern with any point style – Pattern rotation – Staggering - control the distance of the stagger– Fill Mode.

• Clipped

• Overlap

• Inside

Map Display – Text Styles

Define Size in a unit other than points Frame

– Distance from text

– Rectangular or round corners are to be

Justification of multi-line text Control vertical spacing between lines in multi-

line text

Map Display - Text Halos

Map Display – Image Styles

Image translucency Contrast and brightness of 8-bit color index

imagery Invert the display of 8-bit color index imagery Transparent color

– A color (R,G,B) within the image which is to be treated as transparent

Map Display – Point Styles

New SVG-based symbol format – Open industry standard format– Support for parametric symbols in which the symbol text

changes with the display of each feature instance, e.g. Interstate Highway Shields

Direct display of symbols – MicroStation Cell Files (*.cel) – AutoCAD Drawing Files (*.dwg)– Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)

Support for additional image types – png, jpg, gif, tif, ico, wmf, emf

Data Maintenance

Major theme of 6.0 has been to improve the workflows for data collection and editing– Construction Aids– Redesigned Insert Feature Command– Additional Enhancements

Data Maintenance – Construction Aids

Construction Aids streamline collection by providing temporary placement tools during placement or editing without exiting the command.

Data Maintenance – Insert Feature

Simpler User Interface– Compact– Context-based placement modes– Short cut keys

Data Maintenance – Insert Feature

Placement Modes Rapid line placement

– Two-point line – Consecutive two-point line

Place by rectangle Place by rotated rectangle Place by circle

– Replaces the Insert Circle command of version 5.2

Data Maintenance – Insert Feature

Placement Modes continued Advanced arc placement

– New Arc by Centre mode– Precision key-in of arcs

Data Maintenance – Other Enhancements

New Snaps– Tangent and Perpendicular Snap

 

Split Feature Command– Command will split area features by using existing features or

geometries as new boundaries with a “one point selection”

Many other enhancements as well

Geospatial Catalogs

GeoSpatial Catalogs -- SMMS Integration – Catalog Explorer

• Query catalogs warehouse

• Browse catalogs content

• View catalog records

– Import/export catalog records– Associate catalog records– Etc…

Dynamic Segmentation

Added 2 key commands from GeoMedia Transportation– Dynamic Segmentation

– LRS Precision Location

Why’d we do it– Increase the availability and usefulness of linear referenced data

– Further facilitate MGE to GeoMedia migration

Data Access

Oracle Object Database Utilities Cad Integration Other Integration Miscellaneous

Data Access – Oracle Object

Oracle Object Model data server – Supports Oracle 10g native oriented point geometry– Supports compound keys for views– Supports Windows domain authentication as an alternative to

Oracle username/password authentication

Data Access – Database Utilities

Database Utilities– Shows the current database connection, and allows the user to

switch connections without exiting Database Utilities– Edit Feature Class Metadata utility -- edit without the need to

delete and then re-insert the metadata– Better assignment of the default geometry type for Insert Feature

Class operations– Additional supported utilities available for download

Data Access -- CAD Integration

AutoCAD 2004/2005 support CAD data server – MicroStation V8

– MicroStation V8 support for attributes– Supports rich text, based on the options provided in the

configuration file

Data Access -- CAD Integration

Display CAD Files command Improvements– MicroStation V8 design file support– AutoCAD drawing file support– Resizable dialog– Option not to create empty legend entries

Export to DGN command– Output of database linkages for MicroStation V8 data 

Define CAD Server Schema File Improvements 

Miscellaneous -- Licensing

Silent license fulfillment New license required for 6.0 Licenses for 6.0 work with version 5.2 Grace period of 30 days from installation Relaxes license file naming requirements

– A valid license will be found in any license file (*.lic) located in the standard licensing folder

– This permits flexibility in naming and also offers the opportunity to merge many licenses into a single license file
