At this time I have no plans to convert XTools to Visual Basic. ODF ArcGIS Upgrade status: April 2, 2001 ESRI has released version 8.1 of ArcGIS. ArcGIS is a major revision of architecture and strategy. The aim of the software is to provide a scalable suite of tools that share code to take advantage of new innovations. Some of the new features that are available are the ability to rotate a plot of raster data, the ability to make raster and vector layers transparent, and the ability to share licenses through a central license server. ArcGIS also supports a new robust data model that allows for better vertical integration of data. An example of how the Geodatabase would benefit ODF would be the integration of corner data, ownership, public land survey, and vegetation. If a corner location moved due to a survey, all the other layers would be adjusted automatically. Other examples include modeling of a road network or streams. ArcGIS is a well-engineered advancement for the GIS industry,
