Other Esri products included, a for developers, and as a. The various products had branched out into multiple and did not integrate well with one another.

Arcgis Engine 10.2

In January 1997, Esri decided to revamp its GIS software platform, creating a single integrated software architecture. ArcMap 8.0 In late 1999, Esri released ArcMap 8.0, which ran on the. ArcGIS combined the visual user-interface aspect of GIS 3.x interface with some of the power from the Arc/INFO version 7.2 workstation. This pairing resulted in a new software suite called ArcGIS including the command-line ArcInfo workstation (v8.0) and a new graphical user interface application called (v8.0). This ArcMAP incorporating some of the functionality of ArcInfo with a more intuitive, as well as a called ArcCatalog (v8.0). The release of the ArcMap constituted a major change in Esri's software offerings, aligning all their client and server products under one software architecture known as ArcGIS, developed using standards. While the interface and names of ArcMap 8.0 are similar to later versions of ArcGIS Desktop, they are different products.

ArcGIS 8.1 replaced ArcMap 8.0 in the product line but was not an update to it. ArcGIS Desktop 8.1 to 8.3 ArcGIS 8.1 was unveiled at the in 2000. ArcGIS 8.1 was officially released on April 24, 2001. This new application included two extensions, 3D Analyst, Spatial Analyst and GeoStatistical Analyst, that had become very powerful and popular in ArcView GIS 3.x. ArcGIS 8.1 also added the ability to access data online, directly from the Geography Network site or other map services. ArcGIS 8.3 was introduced in 2002, adding to geodatabases, which was a feature originally available only with ArcInfo coverages.

One major difference is the available to customize or extend the software to suit particular user needs. In the transition to ArcGIS, Esri dropped support of its application-specific scripting languages, Avenue and the ARC Macro Language (AML), in favour of scripting and open access to ArcGIS components using the Microsoft standards. ArcGIS is designed to store data in a proprietary RDBMS format, known as. ArcGIS 8.x introduced other new features, including on-the-fly, and annotation in the database. ArcGIS 9.x ArcGIS 9 was released in May 2004, which included ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Engine for developers. The ArcGIS 9 release includes a geoprocessing environment that allows execution of traditional GIS processing tools (such as clipping, overlay, and spatial analysis) interactively or from any scripting language that supports standards.

Although the most popular of these is, others have been used, especially and. ArcGIS 9 includes a visual programming environment, similar to 's Model Maker (released in 1994, v8.0.2). The Esri version is called ModelBuilder and as does the version allows users to graphically link geoprocessing tools into new tools called models. These models can be executed directly or exported to scripting languages which can then execute in batch mode (launched from a command line), or they can undergo further editing to add branching or looping. On June 26, 2008, Esri released ArcGIS 9.3. The new version of ArcGIS Desktop has new modeling tools and geostatistical error tracking features, while ArcGIS Server has improved performance, and support for role-based security.

There also are new JavaScript APIs that can be used to create, and integrated with either or Microsoft. At the 2008 Esri Developers Summit, there was little emphasis on ArcIMS, except for one session on transitioning from ArcIMS to ArcGIS Server-based applications, indicating a change in focus for Esri with ArcGIS 9.3 for web-based mapping applications. In May 2009, Esri released ArcGIS 9.3.1, which improved the performance of dynamic map publishing and introduced better sharing of geographic information.

ArcGIS 10.x In 2010 Esri announced that the prospective version 9.4 would become version 10 and would ship in the second quarter of 2010. In June 2012 Esri released ArcGIS 10.1. In July 2013 Esri released ArcGIS 10.2. In December 2014 Esri released ArcGIS 10.3. The release included ArcGIS Pro 1.0, which became available in January 2015.

In February 2016 Esri released ArcGIS 10.4. In December 2016 Esri released ArcGIS 10.5. Geodatabase Older Esri products, including, worked with data in the format. Workstation handled coverages, which stored information about the spatial data. Coverages, which were introduced in 1981 when ArcInfo was first released, have limitations in how they handle types of features.

Some features, such as roads with street or and underpasses, should be handled differently from other types of features. ArcGIS is built around a, which uses an approach for storing spatial data. A geodatabase is a 'container' for holding datasets, tying together the spatial features with attributes. The geodatabase can also contain information, and can model behavior of features, such as road intersections, with rules on how features relate to one another.

When working with geodatabases, it is important to understand feature classes which are a set of features, represented with points, lines, or polygons. With shapefiles, each file can only handle one type of feature.

A geodatabase can store multiple feature classes or type of features within one file. Geodatabases in ArcGIS can be stored in three different ways – as a 'file geodatabase', a 'personal geodatabase', or an 'ArcSDE geodatabase'. Introduced at 9.2, the file geodatabase stores information in a folder named with a.gdb extension. The insides look similar to that of a coverage but is not, in fact, a coverage.

Similar to the personal geodatabase, the file geodatabase only supports a single editor. However, unlike the personal geodatabase, there is virtually no size limit.

By default, any single table cannot exceed 1TB, but this can be changed. Personal geodatabases store data in files, using a field to store the data. The library is able to handle this file type, to convert it to other file formats. Tasks for personal geodatabases, such as managing users and creating backups, can be done through.

Personal geodatabases, which are based on Microsoft Access, run only on and have a 2 size limit. Enterprise (multi-user) level geodatabases are handled using ArcSDE, which interfaces with high-end DBMS such as, and to handle database management aspects, while ArcGIS deals with spatial data management. Enterprise level geodatabases support, and management, and are compatible, able to run on, and. Also released at 9.2 is the personal SDE database that operates with SQL Server Express. Personal SDE databases do not support multi-user editing, but do support versioning and disconnected editing. Microsoft limits SQL Server Express databases to 4GB. Components and product levels ArcGIS consists of Desktop GIS products, as well as GIS products that run on a server, or on a mobile device.

ArcGIS for Desktop Product levels ArcGIS for Desktop is available at different product levels, with increasing functionality. ArcReader (, viewer) is a basic data viewer for and GIS data published in the proprietary Esri format using. The software also provides some basic tools for map viewing, printing and querying of spatial data. ArcReader is included with any of the ArcGIS suite of products, and is also available for free to download. ArcReader only works with preauthored published map files, created with ArcGIS Publisher. ArcGIS for Desktop Basic, formerly known as, is the entry level of ArcGIS licensing offered. With ArcView, one is able to view and edit GIS data held in flat files, or view data stored in a by accessing it through.

ArcGIS for Desktop Standard, formerly known as, is the midlevel software suite designed for advanced editing of spatial data published in the proprietary Esri format. It provides tools for the creation of map and spatial data used in GIS, including the ability of editing geodatabase files and data, multiuser geodatabase editing, versioning, raster data editing and vectorization, advanced vector data editing, managing coverages, coordinate geometry , and editing geometric networks. ArcEditor is not intended for advanced spatial analysis. ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced, formerly known as, allows users the most flexibility and control in 'all aspects of data building, modeling, analysis, and map display.' ArcInfo includes increased capability in the areas of spatial analysis, geoprocessing, data management, and others. Other desktop GIS software include and.

ArcGIS Explorer is a GIS viewer which can work as a client for, and (WMS). ArcGIS Online is a web application allowing sharing and search of geographic information, as well as content published by Esri, ArcGIS users, and other authoritative data providers. It allows users to create and join groups, and control access to items shared publicly or within groups. ArcGIS Web Mapping APIs are for several languages, allowing users to build and deploy applications that include GIS functionality and Web services from ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Server., and are supported for applications that can be embedded in web pages or launched as stand-alone Web applications. Flex, and (WPF) are supported for desktop applications. Components ArcGIS for Desktop consists of several integrated applications, including, and. ArcCatalog is the data management application, used to browse datasets and files on one's computer, database, or other sources.

In addition to showing what data is available, ArcCatalog also allows users to preview the data on a map. ArcCatalog also provides the ability to view and manage for spatial datasets.

ArcMap is the application used to view, edit and query geospatial data, and create. The ArcMap interface has two main sections, including a on the left and the data frame(s) which display the map. Items in the table of contents correspond with layers on the map. ArcToolbox contains geoprocessing, data conversion, and analysis tools, along with much of the functionality in ArcInfo. It is also possible to use with ArcToolbox, for frequently repeated tasks. ArcScene is an application which allows the user to view their GIS data in 3-D and is available with the 3D Analyst License. In the layer properties of ArcScene there is an Extrusion function which allows the user to exaggerate features three dimension-ally.

ArcGlobe is another one of ArcGIS's 3D visualization applications available with the 3D Analyst License. ArcGlobe is a 3D visualization application that allows you to view large amounts of GIS data on a globe surface. The application was added to ArcGIS for Desktop in 2015. It had the combined capabilities of the other integrated applications and was built as a fully software application.

Extensions There are a number of software extensions that can be added to ArcGIS for Desktop that provide added functionality, including 3D Analyst, Spatial Analyst, Network Analyst, Survey Analyst, and Geostatistical Analyst. Advanced map labeling is available with the Maplex extension, as an add-on to ArcView and ArcEditor and is bundled with ArcInfo.

Numerous extensions have also been developed by third parties, such as the spell-checker, XTools and MAP2PDF for creating pdfs , ERDAS' Image Analysis and Stereo Analyst for ArcGIS, and ISM's, which converts Arc- desktops into precise stereo-viewing windows to work with geo-referenced stereoscopic image models for accurate geodatabase-direct editing or feature digitizing. Address locator An address locator is a in ArcGIS that stores the address, associated indexes, and rules that define the process for translating nonspatial descriptions of places, such as street addresses, into spatial data that can be displayed as features on a map. An address locator contains a snapshot of the reference data used for, and parameters for standardizing addresses, searching for match locations, and creating output. Address locator files have a.loc file extension. In ArcGIS 8.3 and previous versions, an address locator was called a geocoding service.

Other products and are products designed for mobile devices. ArcGIS Mobile is a for developers to use to create applications for mobile devices, such as. If connected to the Internet, mobile applications can connect to ArcGIS Server to access or update data. ArcGIS Mobile is only available at the Enterprise level Server GIS products include ( server), and. As with ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Server is available at different product levels, including Basic, Standard, and Advanced Editions. ArcGIS Server comes with DBMS embedded and can work with enterprise DBMS such as and.

The Esri Developer Network (EDN) includes and other tools for building custom software applications, and ArcGIS Engine provides a programming interface for developers. For non-commercial purposes, Esri offers a home use program with an annual license fee. ArcGIS Engine The ArcGIS Engine is an ArcGIS software engine, a developer product for creating custom desktop applications. ArcGIS Engine provides (APIs) for, and for the Windows, Linux, and Solaris platforms. The APIs include documentation and a series of high-level visual components to ease building ArcGIS applications. ArcGIS Engine includes the core set of components, from which ArcGIS Desktop products are built. With ArcGIS Engine one can build stand-alone applications or extend existing applications for both GIS and non-GIS users.

The ArcGIS Engine distribution additionally includes utilities, samples, and documentation. One ArcGIS Engine Runtime or ArcGIS Desktop license per computer is necessary. Sales ArcGIS Desktop products and ArcPad are available with a single-use license. Most products are also available with concurrent-use license, while development server licenses and other types of are available for other products. Single-use products can be purchased online from the Esri Store, while all ArcGIS products are available through a sales representative. Annual software maintenance and support is also available for ArcGIS. While there are alternative products available from vendors such as, and, Esri has a dominant of the GIS software market, estimated in 2015 at 43%.

Criticisms Esri's transition to the ArcGIS platform, starting with the 1999 release of ArcGIS 8.0, rendered incompatible an extensive range of user-developed and third-party add-on software and scripts. A minority resists migrating to ArcGIS because of changes in capability, functionality, (Esri developed ArcGIS Desktop software exclusively for the operating system), as well as the significantly larger system resources required by the ArcGIS software.

Esri has continued support for these users. 3.x is still available for purchase, and is still included in a full ArcGIS ArcInfo licence to provide some editing and file conversion functionality that has not been included to date in ArcGIS. Other issues with ArcGIS include perceived high prices for the products, formats, and difficulties of data between Esri and other GIS software. See also. Covering the older version of ArcView.
