NPS AlaskaPak V2.2 : Change Log

Updated October 8, 2008

Note: Incremental updates are included in the major version install package as an automatic update feature.
To install, download v2.2 from the link below.

V2.2 (Build Date 20080111)

Modifications since Release V2.0 (Build Date: 20070226)

  • Resolved Issues:

    • Add XY type mismatch – If you already have fields in the attribute table (named the same as those used by this tool) but they are not the correct type (string), you will get an error. The fields are string type so they can store formatting (i.e. spaces). If you wish to use these fields as XY fields in an event table, add fields of type long, and calculate the values from the fields created with this tool.
    • Selected Sets – layers with definition queries may not handle the selection as expected. Applying both the definition query and the selection to the dataset should produce expected results.
  • AddUniqueID:

    • Produced error if field exists but is not right field type. This is fixed, and field is now double – allowing for huge datasets.
  • AddXY:

    • Problems with unknown or unset projection – fixed.
    • Field type mismatch problems – handled now.
    • If coordinate is Decimal Degrees field is set to Double, otherwise uses string.
  • Generate Grid:

    • Periodic problems with 9.x fixed for 9.x but no longer works with 8.x.
    • If rubber-banded area smaller than a single cell, no blank dataset is created, instead a message is returned.
  • Interactive Coordinate Tool:

    • Window opens on map click - not on tool click. This resolves the problem of entering coordinates in blank form and getting an error.
    • Registry storage of window last location is stored in CURRENT USER for registry problems.
  • Obscure points:

    • Output to GDB fixed error.
  • Point to Poly:

    • Too few points no longer generates blank file.
    • Sequence field allows connection order.
  • Random Points:

    • Using LongInt not Int – allows more points.
  • General Fixes:

    • Selected records with Def Query works now on all tools.
    • Various user messages made clearer.
    • Enable error occurred for various tools when layers have broken data source – fixed.
    • Running tools with an Edit session on a GDB caused errors. Now handled with a message.
    • Help file not launching – fixed.

V2.0 (Build Date 20070226)

Modifications since Pre-release V2.0 (Build Date: 20061205

  • Handle Missing Layer Sources – on accessing the akpak menu if there are layers without datasource, there was an error.
  • 9.2 license issues – errors accessing feature classes when license is not fully resolved.
