Overview

BandGen extends the capabilities of ESRI’s ArcGIS 9.3 system by adding powerful tools for managing bands, validating sheet content, and placing alignment sheets.
Alignment sheet appearance is easily confi gured with outof- the-box tools directly from the familiar ArcMap table of contents.
Ad hoc sheets can be created using the current extents of the ArcGIS viewing window and, in the event of an error, source data can be dynamically edited from the band.
Most importantly, BandGen is fl exible, works independently of data models, and can support multiple source formats and locations.
