Current Version 6.2.991.1  Last Updated 26th February
Documentation Included as online help

Description of what the tool does:

Application for viewing Pictometry® oblique view imagery within Cadcorp.

Pictometry provides an instantly available, ‘off-the-shelf’, library of high-resolution 15cm imagery, with every feature in the built and natural environment imaged from all four points of the compass along with the vertical view. Using Pictometry oblique imagery the size, shape, design, construction and surrounding environment of any building can be rapidly assessed from upwards of twenty different oblique and vertical vantage points.

The Cadcorp SIS Pictometry Viewer is fully integrated into the Cadcorp SIS desktop family of products. Using a simple menu item or the context menu on the selected item within Cadcorp SIS, the application will display the selected Pictometry images, enabling the user to easily access all of the available oblique views of a property, building, highway or other object, and to navigate around the imagery using standard zoom tools. At any time, the user may update the view in Cadcorp SIS based on the current location in Pictometry. The software also enables the user to obtain measurements such as distance, height, elevation, area, and bearing directly from the oblique imagery.

The Cadcorp SIS Print Workshop provides a set of tools to assist in producing publication-quality map layouts. Starting with a map layout produced using the Print Wizard, the Print Workshop lets you enhance the appearance of the layout with a great range of additional text and graphical techniques.

If you also use the Cadcorp SIS Book Plotter, the Print Workshop lets you make modifications to a single page of the book, and replicate the changes to every other page, whether it’s the addition of a copyright notice, a change to the style of a text block, or the deletion of an unwanted drop shadow.

Print Workshop also enables you to produce schedules and theme legends reporting only the content of the map layout, rather than the content of the whole map base.

Cadcorp SIS MetaGenie compatible metadata tool (5MB)
Documentation

The Cadcorp SIS metadata tool has been designed to run within the Windows-based Cadcorp SIS - Spatial Information System desktop GIS, (specifically the Map Manager, Editor and Modeller products). It is used for metadata data input compatible with the GIgateway™ Discovery Metadata Specifications. Windows based, it is operated using simple tabs between metadata input fields, making it swift and easy to use. It reduces the risk of errors and inconsistency in metadata creation. It automatically creates essential metadata such as spatial extents, saves default versions of metadata pages and exports metadata into the MetaGenie XML schema. Metadata can then be published by the MetaGenie software on GIgateway.
