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

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
