Will XTools work in non-English versions of ArcView?
With two exceptions, XTools has not created any reported problems for users of other language versions of ArcView. One exception is that some non-English language versions triggers an error when using the Buffer function. The Buffer function in XTools presents a list of map units for the user to choose from. One of those units is “Meters”. Some non-English versions of ArcView, however, use “Metre” instead of “Meter. This causes a problem if “Meters” is selected. The symptom of the problem is that an Av-array error message is received: “AV-Array: Index 1 not in Area [german:Bereich] 0…9. ” Work Around: 1. Make a copy of XTools.avx and put it in a safe place. 2. Open up the original XTools.avx with a word processing program that has a “search and replace” function. 3. Replace all of the occurrences of “Meter” with “Metre” and save the file.
