[edit] About
XTools Pro (developed by Data East) is one of the most popular and full-featured third party extensions for ArcGIS Desktop end users. Originally developed as a set of useful vector spatial analysis, shape conversion and table management tools for ArcView 3.x XTools extension was then converted by Data East to ESRI ArcGIS environment and now is re-designed, enhanced and extended as XTools Pro to get to the newer level of functionality and performance.
The latest XTools 7 Pro introduces more than 50 tools for data conversion and vector/table data analysis as well as 36 geoprocessing tools and scripts aimed to increasing ArcGIS productivity, usability and efficiency.
[edit] Features
User friendly XTools Pro tools and features are implemented as a single toolbar. The Feature Conversion tool group is provided to quickly convert features of different geometry types.
The Open Attribute Table and Start Editing Selected Layer tools provide prompt and convenient access to the attribute table of a selected layer and allow to start edit session for the selected layer. Having these buttons on the XTools Pro toolbar you are just one click away from starting editing your data or opening the required attribute table. With the table operations tool group you can add feature coordinates to the attribute table, calculate feature length, perimeter and area, as well as export tables to MS Excel or text files.
The Extract Map tool is aimed to extracting any specified map areas preserving all the rendering and symbology settings. The Identify Pro tool in addition to standard ArcMap Identify functionality allows editing attributes and viewing attribute field types, viewing geometry properties of the identified features, deleting identified features, and selecting/deselecting identified features.
The Metadata Editor is provided for more convenient and efficient work with metadata in ArcMap. In addition to editing and viewing, you can password protect your metadata or parts of it, create your own metadata templates and track data revision history in your metadata.
