ArcGIS/ArcMap users can use this free plug-in (it installs within an ArcGIS environment) to port existing ESRI ArcGIS map projects to TatukGIS software products. The exported project can be opened and used in any product supporting the TatukGIS project file, which means the TatukGIS Editor and free Viewer, TatukGIS Internet Server, and any custom application developed from the TatukGIS Developer Kernel (SDK).

Arc2TatuGIS performs the following:
-
Conversion of the project related information (map symbology, labels, colors, fills, line widths, coordinate system information, extent, map units, scale, layer organization, etc.) from an ArcGIS *.mxd project file into a TatukGIS *.ttkgp project file.
-
Conversion of each vector map layer in the source ArcGIS project from any ArcGIS supported format into a SHP format layer in the TatukGIS project. Raster layers from the ArcGIS project are incorporated into the TatukGIS project in the original format, i.e., without format conversion.
-
User defined map extent for the exported project.
-
Support for filtered layers ("query filter" and "scale range").
-
Verification of all geometries in each source layer to ensure no corrupted geometric features are exported.
If the original ArcGIS project contains ESRI Personal Geodatabase or ArcSDE layers, each exported SHP file layer can be replaced in the TatukGIS project with the original Personal Geodatabase or ArcSDE layer by manually manipulating the TatukGIS *.ttkgp project file. TatukGIS products support Personal Geodatabase and ArcSDE layers.
Use of Arc2TatukGIS in combination with the free TatukGIS Viewer gives ArcGIS users the means to distribute any ArcGIS project to anyone, for use on any Windows computer, without the purchase of any additional software. Distributed projects can be opened in the TatukGIS Viewer, or other TatukGIS product, with just one click.
The free Arc2TatukGIS plug-in was developed by TatukGIS customer Idan Computers Ltd. (www.idan.com) and contributed to TatukGIS for distribution to other users of TatukGIS products. It can be downloaded from the TatukGIS web site. Refer to the Instant Help for guidance. As a free product, Arc2TatukGIS is unsupported, but informed user feedback is welcome.
Arc2TatukGIS supports ArcGIS/ArcMap versions 9 and 10.
