What's new in the Defense Mapping toolbox

The Defense Mapping toolbox at version 10.1 includes a new tool and upgrades to existing tools.

Toolset changes

• Cartographic Data: Create_JOG_Elevation_Tints_Bands from Features and Create_TLM_Elevation_Guide_Bands from Features have been upgraded to include area of interest parameters.
• Features: The Features toolset contains a new tool, EGB Hydro Centerline.

New tools

Toolset	Tool	Description
Features_toolset	EGB Hydro Centerline	Converts hydrographic polygon features into individual polyline centerlines. This tool is used by the Esri Defense Mapping solution to create polyline hydrographic features at scales where a polygon feature is inappropriate or not useful. It produces an approximate centerline from input polygons. This centerline serves as a polyline representation of the original polygon feature.

Improved tools

Tool	Improvement
Create_JOG_Elevation_Tints_Bands from Features	The following parameter names have been added: AOI_Field—A field that contains a unique identifier for each area of interest. AOI_Buffer—A buffer to apply to input area of interest features. This may improve the accuracy of the banding calculation that is used to generate the elevation tint polygons.
Create_TLM_Elevation_Guide_Bands from Features	The following parameter names have been added: AOI_Field—A field that contains a unique identifier for each area of interest.
