Create Data Types INSIDE ArcMap

JeromeParkin — Wed, 24 Aug 2022 17:53:38 GMT

ESRI please add:
'Create Shapefile' [Point,Line,Polygon] +set datum/projection
'Create Geodatabase' [All known data types] +set datum/projection
INSIDE ARCMAP [for the 10th time of asking]
(Like Arctoolbox merge ArcCatalog & ArcMap into one)

And when EDITING a table in ArcMAP please allow a new field to be created without requiring to be NOT editing the table.

Geowizards 9.9 [soon to be 10] can do this and much more for free.

ArcToolbox already allows you to create new shapefiles, feature classes, and geodatabases from within ArcMap, even in version 9.

Thank for the idea!

A complete set of tools for creating feature classes, geodatabases, and data of all types can be found in the data management tool box of ArcGIS Pro and Desktop.

Additionally, editing your data in ArcGIS Pro allows you to add fields to your feature classes at any time, whether you are in or out of an edit session.

Please refer to the included documentation for details.
