Range Tools
The SAIC GeoRover® Range Tools extension loads into the ArcMap™ component of ArcGIS®, providing powerful tools for creating, editing, and importing ring, ellipse, and arc feature layers.
Overview
The GeoRover Range Tools extension is developed by SAIC to work with the Esri® ArcGIS Desktop software (ArcView®, ArcEditor™, or ArcInfo®). The extension loads a single toolbar into the ArcMap component of ArcGIS, providing powerful and interactive tools for creating, editing, and importing ring, ellipse, and arc feature layers.
Features
Interactive (point-and-click) and coordinate-based tools for creating, editing, and deleting ring, ellipse, and arc features from shapefiles and geodatabase feature classes (personal, file, and enterprise ArcSDE® ) "on-the-fly" within the ArcMap interface
Wizard-driven import tool creates or updates ring, ellipse, or arc feature layers from any delimited text file (.csv, .txt, .tab, etc.) Excel® spreadsheet, database (Access®, Oracle®, SQL Server®, etc.), or even semi-structured copy/pasted text with coordinates
Updating feature parameter values (radius, diameter, heading, sweep, semi/major axis, semi/minor axis) updates feature size/shape instantly
Supports Decimal Degrees (DD), Degrees Decimal Minutes (DM), Degrees Minutes Seconds (DMS), Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), Military Grid Reference System (MGRS), and XY coordinates in any available units. All tools employ robust, smart, and flexible coordinate parsing capabilities
Range features are always geodetically correct when created and edited using the Range tools extension
One-click button for displaying/hiding range feature center points
Options menu available for customizing user preferences and default settings including add/edit and layer symbology, feature creation methods, and coordinate system behavior
Benefits
- Compatible with any ArcGIS datum /coordinate system
- All tools are fully compatible with enterprise (ArcSDE) databases
- Quickly and easily visualize numerical range data on a map
- Manage sets of range features based on the same center point
- Fast, flexible interface for operational use
- Features stored in shapefiles or feature classes
- Combine coordinate import and buffering into one-step

GeoRover Range Tools provide powerful and interactive tools for creating, editing, and importing ring, ellipse, and arc feature layers from within the ArcMap component of ArcGIS.
Create ring, ellipse, and arc features within ArcMap
Create ring, ellipse, and arc features within ArcMapThe Range Tools extension provides powerful tools for creating ring, ellipse, and arc features within ArcMap. Draw on the map or input center points and provide values to create single or multiple features. Feature parameters are stored and can be updated any time, adjusting the feature shape/size instantly. The tools support six different units of measure.
Import data with center point and parameter values
Import data with center point and parameter valuesThe Range Tools extension Import Wizard allows for the import of data with center point and parameter values such as radius, diameter, heading, major/minor-axis, and sweep in order to create rings, ellipse, or arc features. The wizard also has the ability to provide custom parameter input during the import process for maximum flexibility.
Use ArcGIS to categorize ring features based on radius
Use ArcGIS to categorize ring features based on radiusUse ArcGIS to categorize ring features based on radius. The ring features will be stored geodetically correct based on the map projection. The shape will even update on-the-fly if the ring features are moved using the Range Tools editing functions.
Create arc features
Create arc featuresRange Tools supports the creation of arc features with a center point, heading, radius, and sweep.
