ET GeoTools

ET GeoTools 11.5 released on 27 January 2018

ET GeoTools is a set of tools for ArcGIS which purpose is to increase the editing productivity in ArcMap, give enhanced editing functionality to the ArcView users and enable them to create and maintain topologically correct datasets.

The tools are designed mainly for users with ArcGIS Basic license, but will be asset for ArcGIS Standard and ArcGIS Advanced license holders as well.

The tools are located on seven toolbars:

  • ET GeoTools
  • ET Draw
  • ET Attributes
  • ET COGO
  • ET Miscellaneous
  • ET Graphics
  • ET Identify

Highlights:

  • Productivity – performing editing tasks in a fast and efficient way.
  • Identifying topology errors – draw nodes and duplicates for polyline layers, gaps and overlaps for polygon layers.
  • Correcting topology errors – on shapefile and geodatabase layers.
  • Adding new geometries and maintaining topological relationships between the features.
  • Gives to ArcView users some editing tools standardly available to ArcEditor & ArcInfo license holders only – generalize, smooth, creating polygons from polylines, etc.
  • Offers usage of attribute update rules (including ranges – not available in any ArcGIS license) when splitting or merging polylines from shapefile or geodatabase layers.
  • Allows capturing spatial data together with the attributes which significantly improves the performance of capturing data
  • Offers productive way of copying, editing and pasting attribute data.
  • COGO module - Traverse and Inverse.

How to register

After purchasing a license you will receive a reference number for your order.

A. Fixed License:

  1. Click Request License Key button (ET GeoTools Control Panel ==> Request License Key). Fill the small form - all the fields are required.
    • User Name
    • Company
    • Reference number (see above)

    When the form is complete there are two options to chose from:

    • Create Key Request File will write all the information to a file (*.et2). Send this file to register@ian-ko.com and in 24 hours you will receive the Key File that will unlock the full version

  2. When you receive the Key File , save the attachment (*.ett file) to you hard disk. Click on Register button (ET GeoTools Control Panel ==> Register). In the form click on Load Key File button. Select the received file. The software will be registered.

    If you get a message that the program is registered, but you still have no access to the full functionality. Log on to the PC as an Administrator.

    • Run ArcGIS as an administrator(Right click on the icon ==> Run as administrator).
    • Load the license key again.

B. Concurrent Licenses:

  1. Install ET License Manager on the license server computer
  2. Create a Key Request file, using ET License Manager Console. You provide the name of your company, a name of a contact person, valid e-mail address, and the reference number you have received upon your order.
  3. Send the Key Request file to register@ian-ko.com
  4. You will receive a license key for the number of licenses of ET GeoTools you have ordered shortly
