alright, a sort of versioning system.  Thank you Jason.  Winmerge. will look into for sure, I learn something everytime you respond to me, it seems. 🙂 little nuggets. ... View more

I can use the align tool to remove overlap, fill gaps (A one stop shop), it is great for tight areas as long as your cluster tol is small enough.  Modify and reshape edge are more handy for larger areas, like greater than a few feet, this is where align starts to see issues.  The align tools seem to me as the go to tools going forward for a lot of editing.  I now think i get it, on why LS was so stoked at holistic.  I am currently editing at like 1:2.5, I cannot do that currently, awesome.  These two align tools totally justify moving to 10.1 for production when released, just don't break them between today and the spring 🙂 ...

So, one of the coolest uses for the new Align to edge, is we can take the cluster tol down to extremely low values, and be able to edit just as fast as if we had a higher tol.  This makes our data better, much better, and not lose on the productivity.  Very nice. ... View more

Yes, very handy, doesn't like the small stuff so far, but now with new GDB capability, I can make my cluster smaller, awesome. ... View more

Yes. ArcMap no longer automatically opens or closes any editing windows anymore. The Create Features window is only opened for you the very first time you start editing (per normal.mxt). After that, if you close it, it stays closed. In the blogs section of the beta Resource Center, I have a post that mentions this. See the part, "Create Features window remembers its previous state" in http://betablogs.esri.com/beta/arcgis/2011/08/01/feature-template-enhancements/ I have blog posts coming about what's new in editing (particularly on the topology and alignment enhancements). I'll put up about one every week or so, so keep checking there for new entries and videos. Cool, thank you. ... View more

Andrew - So, today, I see 255, so i will have to be watchful of this next time i enable.  So, are you the pe for tracking?  Is this tracking capability a property of ArcGIS, where ArcGIS fully manages the values (like global ID), if so, I should not be able to edit these fields.  Currently, I can go back and overwrite the fields calc'd from GIS, in some situations.  I should see the columns headings as gray and not white.  Also, if I have a domain set for my editor field (which we do), and I add a new polygon, or cut a poly, my field is calculated correctly, but if I try and overwrite the value with my domain, I am able to select my domain, but when I click outside of the actual record, it defaults back to my GIS managed username that was entered after the change.  If I do not have a domain set, I have full access to overwrite.  Also, speaking of domains, if I add then try and validate features, the validation from the editor drop down, shows invalid features.  Is topology validation suppose to change any records, like last edit, currently, it does not? Basically, I like the idea that I cannot overwrite, so I am keen on setting a domain to limit the editor from overwriting, so will probably do this with CreatorName as well.  Is this expected? ...

Haven't tested editing yet, just the creation of the fields. ... View more

If I add a createName and createDate through the enable gp tool, the length of the text field for createName is 0 length.  Is this expected? ... View more

If I disable editor tracking, the disable is still active.  enable is active as well.  I would expect that before enabling, the enable would be active, and the disable would be inactive.  After enabling, the enable would be inactive, and the disable would be active, and then after a disable, the disable should be inactive, with the enable active. ...
