  • The system locks up and has to be killed via the Task Manager if loading .DXF shp files
    This is a known issue with ArcMap version 9.2, when loading CAD files across a network. This behavior has been logged as a bug with the software, and the tracking ID for this bug is NIM005261. Many users have reported this behavior, and the Priority for this bug has been set as High. Hopefully it will be fixed in the near future. Until then, load CAD file onto your local machine.

  • Spell Check
    This other one will check any text within the layout. http://arcscripts.esri.com/details.asp?dbid=12384. Also, just to save you some time... the spell check dll will only check the graphic text (1) created in the layout mode, (2) while in the layout mode.

  • Edgetech has developed an innovative, spatially-smart spell checker extension for ArcMap (patent pending). As an ArcGIS extension, it is simple to install and use, and is fully integrated within ArcMap. It's introductory pricing is $150 for a single user license (volume pricing at www.MapSpeller.com). Currently, it spell checks annotation graphics (graphic text) in data frames or on the page layout. It also has methodologies for spell checking labels and annotation feature classes. MapSpeller supports language, user and danger dictionaries in addition to a spatially-smart customizable locationary. Upcoming releases will add support for legends, hard disk paths and other ArcGIS text objects.

    A 60-day complementary evaluation copy is available at www.MapSpeller.com. Each purchase includes the first year of maintenance, including any upgrade during that time.
