ArcEditor

ArcGIS 8.1 introduces the complete ArcGIS Desktop, a suite of integrated applications (ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox) that can be deployed through a scalable set of GIS client applications (ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo), which represent increasing levels of functionality to support the diverse needs of GIS users. ArcGIS Desktop is an integrated component of the overall ArcGIS architecture. ArcGIS is a system of parts that can be deployed on a single desktop or distributed on a heterogeneous computer network of workstations and servers. Users can deploy various parts of this system to implement a GIS of any size—from a single user system to workgroups and departments, for large enterprises, and for societal GIS systems.

ArcEditor, new in ArcGIS 8.1, is a state-of-the-art GIS data visualization, query, map creation, data management, and editing solution designed for the Windows desktop. ArcEditor includes the same basic desktop functionality found in ArcView 8.1, but adds complete editing capabilities for ArcInfo coverages, personal and enterprise geodatabases including the ability to create and manage relationships, subtypes, geometric network, dimension features, and more.

ArcEditor allows you to create and edit all ESRI-supported vector data formats including shapefiles. Additional functionality includes support for multiuser editing, versioning, custom feature classes, feature-linked annotation, dimensioning, and raster data in a multiuser geodatabase. This includes advanced tools for version management, for example, version merging tools to identify and resolve conflicts.
