New Usability in ArcGIS 9.2

Some great new usability features of 9.2.

  1. Add native Microsoft Excel spreadsheets as a table in the TOC. (w00t)
  2. New measure tool calculates length and area
  3. Calculate Acres directly from the table view, no longer do you have to add vba code to do this
  4. Sort the fields in the query dialog. I’ve never figured out the logic of the sorting of these fields, now I choose how they should be displayed.
  5. Limit zoom to extent to a data view.
