ABOUT THIS RELEASE This document describes the enhancements for Image Scout. Although the information in this document is current as of the product release, see the Hexagon Geospatial Support website for the most current version.

This release includes both enhancements and fixes. For information on fixes that were made to Image Scout for this release, see the Issues Resolved section. For information on enhancements, see the New Technology section.

This document is only an overview and does not provide all of the details about the product's capabilities. See the online help and other documents provided with Image Scout for more information.

IMAGE SCOUT As a viewing and analysis tool, Image Scout allows you to combine multiple images into a virtual mosaic for seamless smooth roam over a vast and complex area. Using Image Scout, you can perform complex queries on spatial and attribute data from various sources and produce numerous views of highly sophisticated maps in a single GeoWorkspace. Furthermore, Image Scout lets you print those map views on a single sheet and add borders, marginalia, and other finishing touches.

Image Scout is composed of three different Hexagon Geospatial products:

GeoMedia Professional: An enterprise GIS that is the perfect tool for collecting and analyzing GIS data, populating an enterprise database, and turning information into precise finished maps for distribution and presentation. Includes a complete Grid tool kit for spatial and distributional analysis of any kind of gridded data, including raster, elevation, LiDAR and others. Extensive Help examples direct the user to many different types of analyses such as: hot spot analysis, least cost routing, contour generations and many more.

GeoMedia Image Professional: Provides image light table capabilities for creating virtual mosaics, image enhancements, image comparison, image annotation, research and negation, directed search over linear and area features, and much more: based on Overwatch Systems' Image Light Table Plus (ILT) product.

GeoMedia GeoDEX: A viewing and analysis tool for geographic information providing the capability for the user to create MGRS grids and work with specialized image data sets such as CADRG, CIB, and others.

Image Scout 3D also includes the following product:

GeoMedia 3D: Provides an integrated 3D visualization and analysis environment. You can visualize, navigate, analyse, and interact with 3D data natively in GeoMedia. In addition, you can dynamically integrate surfaces, imagery, feature data, and vector data to provide a 3D view of all data sources in a GeoMedia 3D map window.

NEW PLATFORMS

GEOMEDIA CONFIGURATION WIZARD Configure the Spatial Model Editor, too

This wizard, which runs automatically after product installation and can also be run any time from the Start menu in order to change the product tier, language, or licensing, now also performs configuration for the new Spatial Model Editor utility, including preparing its help files for use.

.NET CUSTOMIZATION Simplify and stabilize your .net applications

.NET commands/components no longer need to use Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject or Marshal.ReleaseComObject. Microsoft could not clearly define the behavior of these methods and as a result we were experiencing the over-release of underlying COM objects in certain scenarios. We have now resolved the need for these calls within the product. Application developers should stop calling these methods, for improved product quality.

Learn more about event processing with GeoMedia objects

A section on Event Processing has been added to the Overview section of the GeoMedia Object Reference help, for .NET programmers who program against GeoMedia objects using events.

APPLICATION OBJECT Achieve deeper customization with new Application API

Now provides a pair of events to notify listeners when a new MapWindow or DataWindow is created. These events are BeforeWindowNew and AfterWindowNew. The BeforeWindowNew event allows the event handler to cancel the task of creating a new window. The corresponding AfterWindowNew event provides the newly created window object.

Now provides a property ActiveCommandProgId that denotes the programmatic identifier of the currently active command, a method GetCommandProperties that returns the command type and modeless listener level of the specified command ProgId, and an event BeforeCommandActivated that notifies listeners when a command is activated or reactivated.

DATA ACCESS

CAD DATA SERVER Achieve higher-fidelity display of MicroStation v8 cells

For MicroStation v8 files, this data server now supports exploding of cells through use of the “SERVE CELL GEOMETRY EXPLODE” option in the warehouse configuration file.

This change was introduced with GeoMedia 15.1.

ORACLE OBJECT MODEL DATA SERVER AND ORACLE OBJECT LTT DATA SERVER Submit more complex queries to Oracle

Any data server can receive queries that include both a spatial filter and an attribute filter. That combination is common with GeoMedia WebMap. This data server, when handling such a query, attempts to fuse the two filtering criteria into a single SQL statement transmitted to the underlying database engine. But when the attribute filter is comprised of complex SQL involving Oracle-specific syntax that cannot be parsed by GeoMedia, it has previously failed to execute the query. Now if a spatial filter is applied and the SQL cannot be parsed, the data server takes one of two paths: (1) If the token @SF@ is present in the SQL, then the native spatial filtering SQL generated by the data server is inserted in place of that token before submission to the database, permitting the creator of the SQL the opportunity to ensure that Oracle can process the full query. (2) If that token is not present in the SQL, then it submits the complex SQL to the underlying database as-is, and performs client-side spatial filtering within the data server instead of failing on the OpenRecordset call. This allows more flexibility in use of native Oracle syntax in conjunction with a spatial filter.

Take advantage of more Oracle data types

Now supports NVARCHAR2, NCHAR, and NCLOB data types.

POSTGIS DATA SERVER Use PostgreSQL / PostGIS throughout GeoMedia

A new read-write PostGIS data server is delivered. This data server is different from that available as open source for several years.

Page 13: RELEASE GUIDE - Hexagon Geospatial...data, including raster, elevation, LiDAR and others. Extensive Help examples direct the user to many different types of analyses such as: hot spot

New Technology

October 19, 2016 13

The data server is supported throughout the GeoMedia Desktop, except for those commands formerly part of the GeoMedia Parcel Manager product which require a Cadastral connection, the ERDAS APOLLO Catalog Explorer command, and the GeoMedia catalog command set.

SQL SERVER DATA SERVER AND SQL SERVER SPATIAL DATA SERVER Submit more complex queries to SQL Server

Any data server can receive queries that include both a spatial filter and an attribute filter. That combination is common with GeoMedia WebMap. These data servers, when handling such a query, attempt to fuse the two filtering criteria into a single SQL statement transmitted to the underlying database engine. But when the attribute filter is comprised of complex SQL involving SQL Server-specific syntax that cannot be parsed by GeoMedia, it has previously failed to execute the query. Now if a spatial filter is applied and the SQL cannot be parsed, the data servers take one of two paths: (1) If the token @SF@ is present in the SQL, then the native spatial filtering SQL generated by the data server is inserted in place of that token before submission to the database, permitting the creator of the SQL the opportunity to ensure that SQL Server can process the full query. (2) If that token is not present in the SQL, then it submits the complex SQL to the underlying database as-is, and performs client-side spatial filtering within the data server instead of failing on the OpenRecordset call. This allows more flexibility in use of native SQL Server syntax in conjunction with a spatial filter.

New Technology

October 19, 2016 15

WMS INFO COMMAND Retrieve feature information from WMTS services

The WMS Info command is enhanced to support WMTS layers.

CONNECTIONS COMMAND Clear your feature cache in fewer steps

The Refresh Cache / Clear Cache functionality is removed from connection Properties dialog and is now available directly from the Connections command.

Page 16: RELEASE GUIDE - Hexagon Geospatial...data, including raster, elevation, LiDAR and others. Extensive Help examples direct the user to many different types of analyses such as: hot spot

New Technology

October 19, 2016 16

A Clear Cache button is added to the Warehouse Connections command. This enables the user to delete or refresh the cache files associated with one or more selected connections, all at once, without having to invoke the connection Properties dialog.

See at a glance which warehouse connections are cached

A new mechanism of indicating the state of feature caching is added to Warehouse Connections command. Now three different glyphs are introduced to indicate that the caching is enabled on read-write, read-only, and closed connections.

New Technology

October 19, 2016 17

COORDINATE SYSTEMS Leverage more coordinate reference systems

Support has been added for the Royal Commission of Jubail Plant Grid. This is a preset grid system having no user-definable parameters. It is selected as the projection algorithm “RC Jubail Plant Grid.” This system adjusts the Plant Grid coordinates to earth via multiple steps that include a localized polynomial generated from control points. In conjunction with this new system, a new vertical datum value has been added into the system. This value, RC Jubail Local, represents the vertical reference for the RC Jubail Plant Grid system. The software handles it as an orthometric vertical reference.

Support has been added for the Molodensky-Badekas 10-parameter datum transformation. This model transforms between horizontal geodetic datums and may be used with either orthometric or geometric height coordinates. New syntax has been added within the autodt.ini datum transformation configuration file that allows users to specify parameters to use the Molodensky-Badekas transformation there.

Identify coordinate reference systems by EPSG codes

The Define Coordinate System control and dialog used by the GeoWorkspace Coordinate System command, the Define Coordinate System File utility, and other parts of GeoMedia, now have a Coordinate reference system

Page 18: RELEASE GUIDE - Hexagon Geospatial...data, including raster, elevation, LiDAR and others. Extensive Help examples direct the user to many different types of analyses such as: hot spot

New Technology

October 19, 2016 18

authority frame on the General tab, offering the ability to enter an EPSG code in order to define a coordinate reference system, or to see the EPSG code corresponding to the current CRS definition (if any).

ANALYSIS

ATTRIBUTE QUERY COMMAND / FILTER DIALOG Use attribute aliases when performing attribute queries

Now supports use of attribute aliases for fields of feature classes that are served through a proxy data server.

Now encloses aliased attribute names in the SQL string using the delimiters “{#” and “#}”. This permits GeoMedia to rigorously replace the aliased names with the actual names when submitting the filter in a query. A user who manually enters SQL in the dialog must also enclose aliased attribute names with these delimiters.

FUNCTIONAL ATTRIBUTES DIALOG Use attribute aliases when defining functional attributes

Now supports use of attribute aliases for fields of feature classes that are served through a proxy data server.

Now encloses aliased attribute names in the expression string using the delimiters “{#” and “#}”. This permits GeoMedia to rigorously replace the aliased names with the actual names when the expression is evaluated. A

New Technology

October 19, 2016 19

user who manually enters the expression in the dialog must also enclose aliased attribute names with these delimiters.

MAP DISPLAY

PICKQUICKDIALOG API FOR MICROSOFT.NET CLIENTS Use native .NET API for the PickQuickDialog

A new PickQuickDialog API is now available. This is written with WPF, provides smoother usage from a .NET client, and supports RTL (right-to-left) languages as well.

All GeoMedia Desktop users experience this new dialog as part of the Select Tool and Measure Angle commands of the map window.

This change was introduced with GeoMedia 15.1.

THEMATIC LEGEND ENTRIES Use attribute aliases when building thematic maps

UniqueValueLegendEntry and RangeLegendEntry now support the use of attribute aliases for fields of feature classes and queries.

PICKLIST FOR UNIQUE VALUE LEGEND ENTRY Automatically leverage picklists in thematic maps

The Unique Value Legend Entry control now uses descriptions from the Picklist table in the Label column if the selected attribute has a Picklist table defined.

This change was introduced with GeoMedia 15.1.

DISPLAY LOCATION DOCKABLE CONTROL Observe a new look for named locations

The drop-down list of named locations is now grouped by expander controls rather than horizontal divider lines.

This change was introduced with GeoMedia 15.1.

DATA INTEGRATION AND VALIDATION

CREATE CONFLATION LINKS COMMAND Iteratively create conflation links at increasing distances

Now automatically creates links for all features. A new option Include All Features, when selected, automatically increases the buffer distance as specified, and decreases the certainty value for each subsequent iteration. It therefore progressively links and includes, until all the features have been linked or when the specified number of iterations has completed.

New Technology

October 19, 2016 23

AUTO ADJUST FEATURES COMMAND Automatically adjust features based on an offset to a centerline undergoing conflation

This new command automatically adjusts assets such as buildings, junction boxes, service locations etc., which have been previously located by measuring their offset to a centerline. It establishes the relationship between linked assets and their reference centerlines with the help of the Create Conflation Links command. This established relationship forms the Primary link set. Similarly the relationships that exist between the old centerlines and the newly-conflated centerlines are established as Secondary link sets. Finally the assets are adjusted and

New Technology

October 19, 2016 24

aligned to the new centerlines based on the offset/orientation that is extracted from the relationship between the Primary link sets and Secondary link sets.

QUERY CONNECTIVITY COMMAND Simply find anomalies in connectivity between two sets of features

This command is reintroduced into the product from prior releases, in response to customer requests. It was formerly named Validate Connectivity. It finds conditions caused by inaccurate digitizing, such as undershoots and

Page 25: RELEASE GUIDE - Hexagon Geospatial...data, including raster, elevation, LiDAR and others. Extensive Help examples direct the user to many different types of analyses such as: hot spot

New Technology

October 19, 2016 25

overshoots. This command takes one or two feature classes or queries as input and creates a new query containing the resulting anomalies as output, based on the validating conditions that you select.

FIX CONNECTIVITY COMMAND Simply fix anomalies in connectivity between two sets of features

This command is reintroduced into the product from prior releases, in response to customer requests. It automatically corrects connectivity problems within and between feature classes in conjunction with Query

The Construct Hexagon Point Clouds command creates Hexagon Point Cloud (HPC) files from one or more input point cloud data files. Once created, you can add and display the HPC files in the 3D map window using the Insert Hexagon Point Clouds command. Points can then be stylized using a wide array of new point cloud style properties. With these properties, you can, for example, apply color sequences, display by classification, and change the point symbol used to represent each point on screen.

The Query Hexagon Point Clouds command allows you to retrieve attribute information from individual points within HPC point cloud files that have been displayed in the 3D map window. This attribute information displays on the Query Point Cloud modeless dialog.

VIEWSHED ANALYSIS In GeoMedia 3D 2016, viewshed features are represented by 3D polygons. These 3D polygons depict the visible areas from a specific location. Similar to other viewshed technologies, the Insert Viewshed command in GeoMedia 3D uses a number of inputs such as horizontal and vertical fields of view, pitch angle, viewing distance, and viewer height to guide the line-of-sight/ray tracing process. However, the Insert Viewshed command in GeoMedia 3D, unlike other viewshed approaches, takes 3D objects such as building models, feature models, and point clouds into consideration when calculating the visible areas. Given this, the Insert Viewshed command can

produce viewshed features that accurately reflect the real world.

Viewshed analysis has a wide variety of applications in security, government, infrastructure, resource development, and tourism. One particular area where viewshed analysis has been used extensively is in determining where to locate communication towers. Another way viewshed analysis can be used is to estimate the impact of the addition of a large building into an existing cityscape. This viewshed analysis would show all the areas from which the building could be seen, as well as any views that would be obscured.

ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS The ability to integrate visual effects, such as shadows and fog, within a 3D environment can prove extremely useful. However, with GeoMedia 3D 2016 you can now add even more realism to your 3D worlds using effects such as Rain, Snow, Wind, and Sky conditions.

These new effects can create immersive environments for peer or group review. They can also be paired with the improved flight path system to create fly-through’s and virtual tours to help advisory committees better understand planning concepts.

To accommodate the above enhancements, the 3D Effects tab has been modified to house all of this new

functionality.

As illustrated in the graphic above, the 3D Effects tab contains new commands that you can use to further control visualization variables within the 3D map window.

The Environment group, in addition to Fog and Oceans, now includes a collection of commands to control Rain and Snow conditions. Using these commands, you can dynamically add rain and snow to your 3D environment.

The Wind group is completely new. This group contains a collection of commands that control the behavior of wind within the 3D map window. These commands are used to set the direction and speed of the wind effect. It should be noted that wind influences the direction of snow fall, rain fall, and cloud movement in the sky.

The Sky group has been expanded to include Color (options include: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Winter Grey, and Custom colors), Texture (options include: None, Light, and Heavy), and Clouds (options include Static and Dynamic: Partial Coverage and Dynamic: Full Coverage).

3D PREFERENCES A wide variety of new preferences have been added to GeoMedia 3D and given this, the 3D Options dialog has been updated to show these new commands. The 3D Options dialog now has seven tabs (General, Effects, Navigation, Overlays, Editing, Analysis, and Advanced) instead of five.

The General tab contains options related to base content files and a variety of display settings.

The Effects tab contains options for illumination (lighting), environment (weather conditions), and time zone settings.

The Navigation tab contains a collection of options that control the default flight path settings and the settings for navigating within the 3D map window. This tab has been updated and now includes a collection of new navigation modes (Drag, Slide, Tilt and Turn) and a number of controls to modify keyboard and mouse speeds, the minimum navigation altitude, and the location of the surface for underground.

The Overlays tab contains a collection of options that control the display of graphics and other elements related to flight and camera positions. These contextual elements allow you to monitor your navigation without having to take your eyes off the 3D map window.

The Editing tab, which is new to GeoMedia 3D, contains options related to 3D locate, placement, editing, and measurement settings. With GeoMedia 3D 2016, we have greatly enhanced the manner in which you can interact with 3D objects. Most notably, we have improved the intuitiveness and fidelity of 3D selections and editing.

The Analysis tab, which is new to GeoMedia 3D, contains options related to the Insert Viewshed command.

The Advanced tab contains options to control the color balance, terrain quality, and other factors affecting the 3D

map window appearance.

Truncated As If Integer.

all truncated to 0 digits of precision (value 77.1234 becomes 77); the values are rounded to zero decimal places.

Scope: Problem is known to occur when the GeoMedia user exports a merge query that contains a period <"."> Queries containing dot (".") as part of the query name is very common for Oracle users where the connection name and thus query names are prefixed by the schema owner. Example query name: Merge of OM_ALABAMA.ANTENNAS If the user selects the query name "Merge of OM_ALABAMA.ANTENNAS", the Export dialog automatically renames (possibly by design) the output shapefile to: "ANTENNAS”. Such renamed merge queries will have truncated values for fields of type Double.

Workflow:

1. Open GeoWorkSpace

2. Query "Q2 Merged.Institutions" should be displayed on the map. Notice the double values for the latitude and longitude attribute fields.

3. Use Manage Data tap, Export to > Export to Shapefile to export the Q2 Merge query, using the default output shapefile name "Institutions.SHP"

Use the Manage Data > Warehouse > New Connection to connect to exported shapefiles from step 3. Review attributes of the shapefile data and notice how the double values are rounded or truncated.

While the above situation is fairly OK, in case of XenApp if you modify the caching location to one on your local machine (it looks like \\client\c$\temp\caches) and later invoke GeoMedia from the server (not through web browser at client end), the caching path does not change (not expected either). However, in addition to above issue, enabling caching/adding legend entries do not result in cache creation. Hence, the issue's impact is higher in XenApp than in normal GeoMedia operations.

Unable to Generate Connectivity Queries in GeoMedia 2014 and GM 2015.

Validate Connectivity in GeoMedia Pro no longer supports output to query.

a) Queries can be output and/or exported to other required formats

b) Queries are built once and preserved as part of the GeoWorkSpace:

1. Automatically updating when underlying data changes.

2. User does NOT have to recall correct settings (saved as part of the query)

Queries can be displayed outside the queued edit system as a whole making it easier to visualize the location of problems. GeoMedia Pro's validate connectivity command is used by many customers to generate queries that can be routinely checked. If the query contains connectivity errors the query can then be exported to shape file, Oracle or the appropriate format for easy shipment to other (non-GeoMedia) depts. so the errors can be corrected in the source format/data. This cannot be done in GeoMedia 2014 with the Fusion based static queues.

Add WMS Legend Entry calculates minimal bounding box of layer intersection, not union.

The "Add WMS Legend Entry" command calculates intersection from all bounding boxes selected to display. As a result, if there are two layers with disjunct (non-intersecting) bounding boxes, nothing is displayed and the request is not sent to the server. The command must calculate minimal rectangle covering all bounding boxes, and request this coverage. The side effects of the current implementation are that if one of the bounding boxes is out of the map extent, no request is sent to the server although other layers might be visible. To reproduce the issue:

1 - Clear or create GDOWMS.log file in your personal Temp folder (..\AppData\Local\Temp).

2 - Connect to the WMS site and run Raster > Image Footprints for two layers: Jaskyna and Plavebna_brana.

8 - Move mouse pointer inside the intersection of the two image footprints.

Even if you can see no data in the map, you can clearly see that the area requested for the WMS legend entry is the intersection of the two bounding boxes, not the bounding box of the union of the two.

GeoMedia Query using TRUNC operator on Oracle ‘Date’ field with Spatial Filter.

When a GeoMedia query is created on an Oracle database field that is type Date and the query contains the TRUNC operator, the query will display successfully without a Spatial Filter applied. When a Spatial Filter is applied over the query results, an error messages will display. Once the error message displays, the query cannot be displayed again. The query can be recovered by removing the Spatial Filter, deleting the query, and then recreate the query without a Spatial Filter applied. The query with the TRUNC operator will display without a spatial filter but not when a spatial filter is applied. Steps to recreate the issue: Note: Use the warehouse access database, USSampleDataForDRW.mdb

1. Start GeoMedia Professional

2. Make an Access connection: USSampleDataForDRW.mdb

3. Make a Read/Write connection to any Oracle database

Feature Class Definition - multiple edits to SQL Server feature causes 'Out of Memory' error.

Using Feature Class Definition to edit lots of attributes (names and types) simultaneously for a SQL Server feature (without saving the changes with the OK button between edits) will result in an ‘Out Of Memory’ error when you click OK to save the edits. To see the problem use the steps below.

1. Create a new GeoWorkspace and make an SQL Read-Write data server connection to an existing SQL Server database. For my tests I connected to the USA database.

2. Select Feature Class Definition and use the New button to create a new feature class (you can leave the default name of FeatureClass1 and type as Point). Select the Attributes tab and click in each row in the grid (until you get to the 10th row) so that you have created 10 new attributes named Attribute1 through Attribute 10 all of type Text. Click OK to save the new feature class. When the prompt appears stating “A feature class must have a primary key attribute. Do you want GeoMedia to generate a primary key of Autonumber data type?” Select ‘Yes’.

3. Now that you are on the main Feature Class Definition dialog again click the Edit button. The ‘FeatureClass1’ feature that you just created should still be highlighted so you will be editing that feature class. Now select the Attributes tab. On the Attributes tab change the data type for each of the Attributes (1 through 10) from Text to another Type (choosing a different type for each attribute if possible). Now change the name of each of the 10 attributes to something new. Now that all of the names have been changed, once again change the type of all of the attributes to a new value (using as many different types as possible). Finally change all of the names again to new names. Click the OK button to save the edits. This will typically result in an error message that states something like the following…

“The attribute someattributename could not be updated. Possible causes include attribute name duplication, maximum attribute name length exceeded, or invalid characters in the attribute name.

Out of memory”

If you click the ‘More’ button you see only an ‘Out of memory’ error on the dialog that is displayed.

Often when renaming the attributes and changing the types you will accidently set one of the types to AutoNumber resulting in the message that “Only one attribute of AutoNumber data type may be defined for a feature.”, so if you don’t see the Out of Memory error message initially try setting one of the types to AutoNumber during the workflow.

Poor Query Notification Performance in 2014 vs. 6.1.

GeoMedia 2014 shows very poor performance for query update / notifications when compared to version 6.1. In a simple test using a Spatial Intersection query we can see that the time required for an edit geometry move vertex in version 2014 on a Win7 system fails to exceed or meet the update time for the same operation when using 6.1 on XP. Testing here is limited to the time for notification and update to map view window for Spatial Intersection Query. Notification times for other query types has not been tested/compared to version 6.1. It is notable that performance of 2014 exceeds or matches 6.1 If a Spatial Filter is applied to the data; even if the Spatial Filter encloses the entire data set such that no feature records are actually filtered. This seems to force 2014 into a different logic path.

Need official Support For Launching Configuration Wizard Using /q (quiet) Option.

Summary: Request official support and documentation for running Configuration Wizard using the /q (Quiet) option. User has already found that running Intergraph.GeoMedia.ConfigurationWizard.exe /q works but request official support in conjunction with related regression CR defect (see also Related CRs). Background: Administrator at large GeoMedia Application use site has requirement to provide non-admin clients the ability to launch and see the unassisted installation and configuration of GeoMedia. This was done in version 6.1 using a "Quiet" installation method which differs from "Silent" installation as it gives user installation feedback by showing dialogs and forms used during the installation process. The user found however that GeoMedia 2014 does allow for "Quiet" installation (see also Related CRs) and so has been forced to write their own client system install process. The good news is that the customer indicated success by copying the edited Intergraph.GeoMedia.ConfigurationWizard.exe.config down to the client, where the configuration wizard can run in quiet mode running “Intergraph.GeoMedia.ConfigurationWizard.exe /q” to import the license server settings. This CR asks that GeoMedia support the quiet install option; esp. in light of related regression CR.

Setting a Spatial Filter together with Filter using 'Upper' fails.

Error 0x80040ACE (Error parsing SQL statement) is being returned when getting recordset from an originating pipe set with a spatial filter and attribute filter using 'Upper' Oracle function. This originated from having LegendEntry->LoadData() fail with 0x80040638 (GRecordset is invalid.) during WMPS/WebMap workflow of generating a map image. It happens when in the OriginatingPipe->Filter one sets a where-clause expression similar to "Upper(Name) LIKE Upper('pattern')" and so the retrieved recordset is placed in the legend to be rendered. WebMap then applies a spatial filter with the map range and invalidates the recordset, which in turn makes LoadData fail.

Simplify Geometry Command Not Working.

Simplify Geometry command seems to have problems working with specific feature classes; possibly where the Simplify Geometry command encounters polylines with a large number of vertices. Example Workflow Using Provided Data:

1. Extract .zip to C:\Warehouses

2. Open C:\Warehouses\Simplify_Test1\Simplify_Testing.gws

3. Optionally, select the Long_Line feature displayed in the map view then use the right-click, Geometry Information command to observe the number of vertices=553.

4. Select Toolbox tab, Base Geometry > Simplify Geometry, the Simplify Geometry dialog will appear.

5. Set the input feature as: Long_Line

6. Set the Distance to 100.0 m (default value)

7. Display the results in the map window.

5) Observation: The Long_Line feature is NOT simplified. The number of vertices is still 553. If however we do the same procedure for the feature "Short_Line" then the Simplify command works as expected. Note: It is desirable to use Simplify with the feature class: County_Lines_ALL which is provided as part of the warehouse data.

"Validate Connectivity" terminates GeoWorkSpace Session without opportunity to save.

Problem: The "validate connectivity" tool crashes constantly with a given dataset. An error message in German gets displayed (even when GM is installed in English). The original content of the error message: "Automatisierungsfehler - Das aufgerufene Objekt wurde von den Clients getrennt" Translation: "Automation error - the called object got disconnected from clients" Steps to reproduce:

1. Unpack ZIP folder in C:\Temp and open GWS "HSV.gws"

2. Toolbox -> Validate Connectivity

3. Validate features in "A10_Wal_Waldfunktion" with features in "A10_Gem_Gemeindegrenze"; Anomalies: "Non-coincident Intersecting Geometry"

Above mentioned error message gets displayed as soon as the validate connectivity tools gets started with button "OK" - By clicking OK on the error message, it disappears. If the "validate connectivity" window is closed via the "Cancel"-button, GM crashes (something like "GeoMedia doesn't work no longer"). If it is closed via the white cross on the right upper corner of the window, GM does not crash.

Time & Date/Time Format lost for Date attribute on German GeoMedia after feature class edit

A SR was filed for a problem when using GeoMedia Desktop configured for the German language whereby attributes of type Date that have the Format set as Time or Date/Time do not retain the formatting. Specifically the formatting of the Date attribute is lost if Feature Class Definition is used to add another attribute to the feature or edit an existing attribute. For instance an attribute with the Data Type set to Date (a.k.a. Datum in German) with the format set to Time would have the format changed to Date for that attribute after using Feature Class Definition. The workflow below can be used to reproduce the problem:

1. Run the GeoMedia Desktop Configuration Wizard to change the configuration language for GeoMedia to German.

2. After the configuration completes start GeoMedia Desktop and create a new blank GeoWorkspace.

3. Use the New Warehouse command to create a new blank Access warehouse with a name of your choice (such as datetest.mdb).

4. Select the Feature Class Definition command and create a new Point featureclass with three attributes. I used the names Att_Date, Att_Time, and Att_DateTime, for my tests. Set the Type for each attribute to Date (Datum in German language) and the set the Format to Date (Datum in German) for the first attribute, Time (Zeit in German) for the second attribute and Date/Time (Datum/ Zeit in German) for the third attribute. Review the attributes before clicking the Ok button on the dialog to insure that the desired Format is set for each attribute. Click OK and answer Yes to the prompt to create a primary key. Then click Close on the main dialog to dismiss the Feature Class Definition command.

5. Next use the Insert Feature command to insert an instance of the Point feature that you just created.

6. Using Select Set Properties enter an attribute value such as ‘1/14/2015 4:15’ for all three attributes of the newly inserted point feature. This should result in values displayed like the following based on the Format defined for each Date attribute.

Att_Date = 1/14/2015

Att_Time = 4:15:00 AM

Att_DateTime = 1/14/2015 4:15:00 AM

Click OK to dismiss the Select Set Properties dialog.

7. Double-click on the point feature again to open Select Set Properties and confirm that the attribute values are formatted/displayed as expected (per step 6 above). Close the Select Set Properties dialog with the Cancel button.

8. Select the Feature Class Definition command again and choose the point feature that was created in step 4.

9. Click the Edit button on the dialog then on the Edit dialog select the Attributes tab. Click in the first empty row of the grid. This will create a new attribute with a default name (Attribute 1) of type Text. Click OK to save this new attribute. Then click the Close button on the main Feature Class Definition dialog.

10. Now double-click on the point feature that you previously inserted and review the attributes again in Select Set Properties where you will see that the attribute values are now shown as...

Att_Date = 1/14/2015

Att_Time = 1/14/2015

Att_DateTime = 1/14/2015

The values are displayed differently than when they were originally entered because the Format setting for each Date type attribute is now set to Date even though there was no change by the user to these Format settings when the feature class was edited with Feature Class Definition.

11. To verify that the Format settings have been changed open Feature Class Definition again and review the attribute definitions for the point feature class. Note that the Format is now set to Date for the Att_Time, and Att_DateTime attributes that were previously set to Time and Date/Time respectively.

Analytical Merge/Aggregation output functional attribute allows spaces in "Functional attribute name.

Analytical Merge/Aggregation output functional attribute allows spaces in "Functional attribute name". To reproduce:

1. Open attached ussample.gws.

1. 2. Create an attribute query of "Counties" selecting "AVETEMP" as the attribute with a criteria "AVETEMP <= 43.1". This results in the output query "Attribute Query of Counties".

2. Select Analytical Merge and use the "Attribute Query of Counties" as the input Merge feature. Then select any attribute i.e. "COUNTY_NAME".

3. In the Output functional attributes white area field right mouse click and click on "New Count(*)". Notice the functional attribute name is "CountOfAttribute Query of Counties". This is the problem which is the spaces in the functional attribute name "CountOfAttribute Query of Counties"

This problem also occurs with Aggregation query. Customer comments: When I create a thematic legend entry over an attribute that contains a space character in its name the legend entries are all empty. For example I calculated an attribute 'count of' using a query. Later on I want to visualize my data using 'unique value thematic' for this attribute. In the preview it looks fine (column count has reasonable numbers in it). When I apply the symbology all counts become zero and you cannot see anything in the map. This behaviour is very confusing for the customers. Either it should not be possible to create attributes with space characters or it should appear an error message that explains the behaviour in symbology.

Client Seat Cannot Specify Server Cache Location Without Using Create/Refresh Cache.

The client side workflow to define a shared server cache location causes local cache files to be created. This is because it is not possible to set the Location of the cache without having to click on the Create/Refresh Cache option of the Enable Caching dialog. For example: Client user needs to specify server UNC path location to shared cache for a particular existing connection where some features are currently displayed in the map window. The current workflow on the connection properties dialog is:

1. Select Properties for a Connection and notice how the Location field for cache is greyed out.

2. Enable (check) the Enable feature caching option.

The Enable Caching dialog is displayed, where the user must click on the Create/Refresh Cache option.. Any features that are displayed are cached locally. This means the user must create a local cache just so he/she can then finally select the location of the desired shared cache location. It may be more logical to allow the user to select / set the Location without having to generate a local cache. It is believed that once the UNC is correctly pointed to the server cache location where the local client cache files will be ignored; the local cache files remain on the client system, even if caching is disabled and the Clear Cache option is used.

Default Values for text fields behaviour in Access DB.

Inconsistent use of single vs double quotes in Access. If you define a feature class in GeoMedia in an Access warehouse, and set a default value for a field of type text, the default value is in single quotes in Access (e.g. 'My default value') If you do it directly in MS Access, Access uses double quotes (e.g. "My default value"), and this is how MS Access handles default values for text fields. This creates some problems when you transfer a feature class to another warehouse type, e.g. SQL server Spatial with "Output to Feature Classes". I have tested this and tried to tie down the exact symptoms. The customer creates an Access database using MS Access as standard templates for distribution across their customers. When such database is defined, Database Utilities are used to create metadata. The problem lies in Default Values. Access has a standard of using double quotes for text values. On the other hand, GeoMedia uses single quotes which is incorrect for Access DB design. DB Utilities will then evaluate the "standard" double quotes as additional characters and put them into the column definition instead of format conversion. This causes troubles when e.g. exporting to different Warehouse. Exact steps to reproduce:

1. Open ussample.mdb file in MS Access and define a default value for selected text column in states table.

2. Using DB Utilities, drop states metadata and re-insert states FC Metadata.

3. Open GeoMedia, connect to ussample.mdb.

4. Make a R/W connection to an MSSQL DB

5. Use Output to Feature Classes to export the states Feature Class from Access to MSSQL

6. Test by inserting MSSQL states feature class and select set properties.

7. The new record will contain defined default value but with additional double quotes

Observations: - The problem might have origins in the Literal Conversion interface - If default value is defined using GeoMedia then it contains single quote and Access can handle them somehow

Example: Feature Caching Explained Feature Caching Process Feature Caching Batch Publishing Note: It may be that these could be condensed to 1 or 2 topics. For example Caching Explained could be combined with Feature Caching Process. c) Feature Caching topics really belong under some major Help topic such as warehouse connections. Appropriate cross links would be expected between these important topics. For example, currently The Edit Warehouse Connections help topic fails to mention feature caching.

Area legend key disappears when expression is used for Displayable style property (regression).

When using an expression for the Displayable property on the Style Properties ‘Advanced’ tab to control the display of an area feature the corresponding legend entry key is removed. This is a regression from GeoMedia Desktop 2104. To see the problem you can use the steps below.

1. Create a new geoworkspace and make an Access warehouse connection to USSampleData.mdb.

2. Use ‘Add Legend Entries’ to add Counties to the legend.

3. Right click on Counties legend entry and select ‘Style Properties’.

4. On the ‘Style Properties’ dialog select the Advanced tab.

5. Ensure that the ‘Simple Line Style’ node of the Area Style is selected on the tree view on the left.

6. In the ‘Attribute Based’ column for the Displayable property enter the expression: IF(DISPLAYSCALE()<4000000,TRUE(),FALSE())

7. Click OK to exit Style Properties dialog.

8. Notice that the legend key for Counties is no longer displayed.

This same problem occurs even if you use an expression that would always evaluate as True for the Displayable property such as: IF(DISPLAYSCALE()>=1,TRUE(),FALSE()) If this same workflow is performed in GeoMedia Desktop 2014, the legend key for the Counties feature remains displayed. Likewise if the same expression is defined for Line or Point feature legend entries (e.g. Interstates and Cities) the legend key remains displayed even in 2015. I suspect that this regression occurred as a result of the addition of the point style to area feature styles for 2015. I base this assumption on the fact that deleting the Symbol Style from the Point Style node for an Area Style in the Style Properties dialog will allow the legend key to remain displayed.

Validate Geometry Returns Invalid Geometry Component for Polygons With Valid Arcs.

Have polygons inserted via GeoMedia's Insert Feature command which contain one or more arcs. The inserted polygons are presumed to be valid Composite Polygon Geometries but Validate Geometry classifies *all polygons containing an arc as: "Invalid Geometry Component".* Only circles are considered valid. It seems that Validate Geometry considers all arcs that are part of a CompositePolygonGeometry to be an Invalid Geometry Component. We suspect this is not true and that the Validate Geometry command to be in error. Other possibilities may be that: a) GeoMedia Insert Feature Arc Placement commands may be placing incorrect geometry. b) Validate Geometry needs to further define what constitutes invalid arcs Current 2015 Help on the topic of Invalid Geometry states: "Invalid Geometry Component refers to those features whose geometry is syntactically correct (i.e. passed the check as specified by the Invalid Geometry anomaly) but whose specification does not define a valid geometric component. Included in the definition of invalid geometries are the following: Invalid Arc - The radius, start end point of the arc are not valid.

Editing Name Of GeoWorkSpace Coordinate System Can Result In Out Of Memory Error.

When editing the Coordinate System of GeoWorkSpace, if you clear the Name field (the optional coordinate system name), then click into the Description field, the following error occurs: CCSDefCS Out of memory. The error seems to be only disruptive and not destructive. It will continue to pop back up as long as the coordinate system name field is not defined. The problem does not seem to occur when running the define coordinate system utility (outside the .gws document).

Output To Feature Classes is extremely slow/hangs when source is CAD (V8 DGN).

A SR was filed reporting that Output To Feature Classes is very slow in GeoMedia 2015 when the source connection is a CAD connection (MicroStation V8 design file) and the target connection is a new Access warehouse, whereas with GeoMedia 6.1 the same workflow completes quickly. I was able to reproduce this problem with GeoMedia 15.00.0000.120120. In my testing I observed that when using the Output to Feature Classes command in GeoMedia 06.01.11.13 to output the ‘Default’ feature class (containing 18953 features) from the customer’s CAD connection to a new Access warehouse the process takes 11 seconds. In GeoMedia 15.00.0000.10120 when the same ‘Default’ feature class with the 18953 features is output to a new Access warehouse the process takes 11 minutes and 36 seconds. In GeoMedia 6.1 it takes only 2 minutes and 8 seconds to output all 63 of the feature classes in the CAD connection. In GeoMedia 2015 if you attempt to output all 63 features classes, after an hour or more the Output to Feature Classes command appears to stall out while processing the Ebene_22 feature class, so it is not clear if the process will actually complete for all 63 feature classes using GM 2015. To reproduce this problem, extract the files from the provided OTFC_CAD.zip file and use the steps below.

1. Using GeoMedia 2015 create a new blank GeoWorkspace.

2. Select the Display CAD Files command and for ‘CAD type’ choose ‘MicroStation V8’

3. For the ‘Folder’ field, browse to the location of the Wasser.dgn file.

4. Check the Wasser.dgn file in the ‘Available files’ list.

5. For the ‘Coordinate System file’ filed browse for and select the GK3_DHDN_SISNET.csf file.

6. Click the Advanced tab and check the option ‘Create a separate legend entry for each selected level’.

7. Click the OK button to create the .csd file and make the CAD connection.

8. Use the New Warehouse command to create a new blank Access warehouse (e.g. OTFCCADTEST.mdb).

9. Select the Output to Feature Classes command and expand the ‘CAD Connection 1’ node, then check the Default feature class. (* If you select the top level ‘CAD Connection 1 node’ so that all feature classes are selected the process will likely fail to complete.)

10. The Target connection should be set by default to the Access warehouse, so click the OK button to begin the process.

11. Once the process completes, review the GMOTTS.log file in the C:\Warehouses folder and note the Start and End time for the output of the Default feature class.

Now repeat this workflow, but in step 1 use GeoMedia 6.1 and in step 11 when reviewing the GMOTTS.log file you will see a much shorter processing time.

Create Conflation Links can lead to gaps in LRM when short links are evaluated against long links.

UPDATED DESCRIPTION BASED ON RESEARCH BY DEVELOPMENT: When there is a long link and a short link being evaluated and the long link is outside the zone - no link is made. This needs to be corrected. Practically these conditions will not exclusively exist in only one connection and percentages will appear in both connections. If the connections are reversed the link is made because the buffer is drawn around the long link and the short link is in the zone. However, if there are now 2 short links in the same zone, multiple links are made and the 2nd link is filtered out leaving an orphan segment without a link partner and a resulting gap in the output. A fix is needed to make a good (continuous) link in the situation where the link zone is drawn around the short link and the long link is outside the zone.

Display Location Functions fail if locations.xml is not in c:\GeoWorkspaces.

This problem is in GM 2015 also. Display Location Functions fail if loacations.xml is not in C:\GeoWorkspaces because the registry entry for the GM preference set name "xmlPath" is set to "C:\GeoWorkspaces". The user is doing the following workflow resulting in the Display Location command not working:

1. Open .gws and select the far left File icon and select the Options>File Locations tab and change the GeoWorkspace Files location to D:\Temp\GeoWorkspaces folder

2. Exit and Save the geoworkspace.

3. In the C:\GeoWorkspaces folder the user selects all files including the locations.xml file, cuts the files and moves them to the D:\Temp\GeoWorkspaces folder.

Open the .gws from step 2 and try to use the Display Location cmds, but they do not work because the registry entry for the GM preference set name "xmlPath" is set to "C:\GeoWorkspaces". This can be reproduced using any dataset.

Dynamic Segmentation Creating Invalid / Corrupted Geometry.

Customer has noted noticed a serious problem where query results of Dynamic Segmentation in version 2015 is invalid. The customer points out that version 6.1 and version 2014, dynamic segmentation is considered correct whereas the same GeoWorkSpace when opened in 2015 produces invalid geometry collections.

The problem is causing invalid results for this query and all subsequent queries in user’s workflow. Workflow using supplied data:

(1) Open GeoWorkSpace file on version 6.1 or 2014 system.

(2) Observe the results and note how there are no collections.

(3) Open the same GeoWorkSpace file on a 2015 system.

Observations: Notice there are several collection geometries not seen in version 6.1 or 2014. Try selecting a collection geometry (shown in red) and right-click for Geometry Information. Notice the PolyLine component containing only one vertex. If use Tools > Validate Geometry using all of the "Standard Anomalies" options, we can see that the collection geometries are invalid.

Developer has replicated and diagnosed the error. They state: GeoMedia Grid delivers a file 3DMLHelper.dll. This is a C++ managed dll. The CI process for building and packaging GMGrid will stamp Win32 and .NET dll file versions if the project is rebuilt in CI. However, we do not have a process to stamp file versions for C++ managed dlls. A new version of 3DMLHelper.dll was delivered in GeoMedia 15.0.0.10XXX but the file version was not bumped.

Boolean attribute with Default value of True is populated with value of False instead.

When ‘Feature Definition’ is used to add a Boolean attribute to an existing feature and the default value is set to True, the Boolean attribute is populated with the value of False instead of True when the feature is digitized with the Insert Feature command. Here is a summary of the steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Start GeoMedia with a blank geoworkspace.

2. Use the New Warehouse command to create a new Access warehouse.

3. Use the Feature Definition command to create a point feature class (e.g. FeatureClass1) with a single Boolean attribute (e.g. Attribute1) and set the Default value to True. Click OK to exit Feature Definition and when prompted “Do you want GeoMedia to generate a primary key of Autonumber data type?” click ‘Yes’.

4. Use the Insert Feature command to digitize one or more instances of the feature that you just created.

5. Use Select Set Properties to verify that the features that were inserted were populated with a value for True for the attribute of type Boolean.

6. Now open the Feature Definition command again and choose the feature class created in step 3 and click Edit. On the Attributes tab click in the empty row to add a new attribute (Attribute2) and set it to type Boolean and then set the Default value to True. Click OK to exit the dialog.

7. Choose the Insert Feature command again and digitize one or more additional features.

8. Use Select Set Properties to review one of the newly inserted features and notice that the new attribute (Attribute2) has a value of False even though the default value was set to True for this Boolean attribute.

It appears that these two conditions may be required to observe the problem:

- Feature Definition is used to add a new Boolean attribute to an existing feature.

- Insert Feature is used to insert one or more features prior to the Feature Class Definition edit to add the new attribute of type Boolean with the default value of True

This issue was reported by the customer with 15.00.0000.00725, but I have reproduced problem with version 15.00.0000.10120. This appears to be a regression from version 14.00.0002.0014 since the problem was not reproduced in that version when using the same workflow described above.

In 2015 it seems that if you exit GeoMedia and make a new connection to the Warehouse after making the Feature Class Definition edit, then the reconnect to the warehouse the correct default values are then populated for the boolean attribute.

Invalid row gets committed to IFC file but not in Oracle or SQL Server Database.

Invalid row gets committed to IFC file but not in Oracle or SQL Server Database. Note: This is also observed in 2015 release as well, but not observed in 2014 release. This is observed with both Oracle and SQL Server read-write connections with IFC ON, but not reproducible with Access RW connection. Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a RW Oracle or SQL Server connection with Feature Caching ON.

2. Create a new Point FeatureClass in the connection with two text attributes "Attribute1" and "Attribute2", both of type "Text" and mark Attribute1 attribute as primary key.

3. Create a new Data Window for the newly created FeatureClass.

4. Select a cell in first row and press tab twice to create a new record. You may either get a message "<This change could not be committed to the database.> Discard row?" - click No, or you a message "This change could not be committed to the database" click OK.

5. Observe that a row is added to the data window. Similarly add few more blank rows.

6. Now click on any row to enter value, an error message is thrown saying the bookmark is not valid. Actually these empty rows are created in IFC file, but not present in the database.

a. This did not happen in 2014 release even when IFC file was used. When IFC is OFF, then also a new blank is not added to the data window.

Database Utilities For MS SQL Spatial Warehouses May Display Incorrect Error Message Multiple Times.

On systems where SQL Server Native Client 10.0 or higher is not installed, users of MS SQL Spatial data will notice error messages stating that the Native Client software is required to correct metadata for date fields. Unfortunately this message appears up to eight times when working with warehouses that do not contain any date fields. While the problem is mostly a nuisance, it does indicate flawed logic that it's appearing multiple times and when date fields are not present. Example Workflow on system without any SQL Server Native Client 10.0 or higher is *installed:

1. Open Database Utilities and connect to MS SQL Native Spatial data (example: TSDB64VM NS_TENNESSEE ).

2. Delete metadata for some table (example: Antennas).

3. Insert Feature Class Metadata.

4. Select Table and add ( >) to right.

5. Select Table and select Properties.

Observation: The following error appears 8 times yet the table nor any table in the database does not contain any date fields what so ever. Additionally we see that this error logic is not applied at all when using the Edit Feature Class Metadata option which essentially allows the same controls to modify metadata for Data Types. --------------------------- Database Utilities --------------------------- The SQL Server Native Client 10.0 or higher is needed in order for Database Utilities to automatically create the correct GeoMedia metadata for date, time, and datetime2 data types. You may get SQL Server Native Client 10.0 or higher from the corresponding Microsoft websites. If the SQL Server Native Client is not installed on the system, you will need to manually choose Date as the data type from the dropdown combo box for these data types in the Feature Class Properties dialog and set the format properly. --------------------------- OK

Incorrect Logic For FGDB Data Server Use of Initialization (.ini) Files.

FGDB forces users to make registry edits to use .ini files. User definition of an .ini file (when one is provided as part of the connection) should never be ignored. The current approach causes problems for multiple reasons: 1. GeoMedia users have expectation that .ini files will be used if specifically provided. There's a field to define an .ini file on the connection dialog. This field should not be ignored as a default action. 2. In the current implementation, defining a registry edit to use .ini files forces the user to provide .ini files for all FGDB data connections, even those where the user does not wish to define any keywords. In fact if the registry edit is set to use the .ini then we see connection errors when no .ini file is given: GeoMedia Desktop INI file not provided. This forces users to always create .ini files for ALL FGDB data connections. If the logic was to use the .ini when supplied by the user then no registry edit would be required

MS SQL Dynamic Labelling Performance Problem If Compared to Access GDO Dynamic Labelling.

Comparing Dynamic Labelling of identical linear feature class using same label definition (Label size/Rule) of Access vs. MS SQL shows that Access labels are generated up to ~98% faster than equivalent labels and features stored in MS SQL (GDO). In the test case ~600K Tennessee state-wide local roads are displayed but less than 50 are within the map window display (map view display scale is ~1:14,000). No Spatial filter is applied however it is expected that the label processing by design should only be working with the records/geometries displayed/overlapping the bounds of the map view.

Example Times Observed: Access Dynamic Labels: 4 to 11 seconds MS SQL (GDO) Dynamic Labels 7 to 9 minutes The difference in performance is dramatic yet the input and the label output are equivalent. When Dynamic Labels are created there is no opportunity for the user to stop the process other than terminating the application. It’s suggested that some usability study be done to better understand issues faced when working with large data sets and dynamic labelling.

I have an older version 6.1 GeoWorkSpace that fails to open in 2014 or 2015. GeoMedia application crashes as the GeoWorkSpace is opened. The same GeoWorkSpace opens fine in version 6.1. The problem may be related to thematic legend entries as if we use version 6.1 to delete all thematic legend entries (including any named legends stored in Legend > Legends) then the GeoWorkSpace will open in 2014 and 2015. Deleting the thematic however is not a valid solution as there are several important thematics that serve as principal components of the GeoWorkSpace.

Properties dialog can fail to display attribute values when picklist filter in place.

The 2015 properties dialog may fail to display stored attribute values if the field is associated to a picklist that has an attribute filter in place. If the user has filter string applied to his/her picklist and an existing value for the field/record does not pass the SQL statement, the value is displayed blank on the properties dialog grid. Problem is a regression from behavior observed in version 6.1 and 2014. It is expected that if a value is stored in the database, that the value should be displayed on the Properties dialog even if a picklist associated SQL statement does not include the value. Currently the field is shown as "blank" on the properties dialog which is misleading to users. PickList associated SQL Filters should only control the list of values displayed when a click is issued into a field and the descriptions displayed on the dialog if the stored value matches a value in the picklist. If a stored (pre-existing) value cannot be matched to a picklist value/description, then the value itself should be displayed. The attribute dialog should not mislead users by showing a blank field value. Problem can be observed for both GPickLists as well as AFM based picklists. Workflow using supplied data:

1. Create .gws and connect to the supplied access warehouse, "Simple_PickListTest.mdb".

2. Display Water_Line feature in map window.

3. Double-click water line to review Properties.

Observations: If using version 2014, you will see a value for the Material_Type attribute field. If using 2015, the Properties dialog will NOT show a value although one is stored in the database.

was also reported to MapText and their development group discovered the cause of the problem and provided a patch via the LabelEditSupport.dll that fixed the problem in GeoMedia with the Display Labels command.

The Labelling Generate Static Labels tool creates a table named as <output name>_PRP. Previous versions of Label-EZ did not create this table; however the latest ones do. The customer has lots of data sets created using earlier versions of Label-EZ. The Labelling Display Labels tool was not checking for the existence of the <output name>_PRP table before trying to open it. A GeoMedia user solely using the Labelling tools would never encounter this problem since the Labelling Generate Static Labels tool creates this table. Since the customer is trying to use the Labelling Display Labels tool on an older Label-EZ generated dataset, they encountered this problem.

Text disappears using CAD .INI file SERVE CELL GEOMETRY:Explode USTN V8 DGN elements.

Text disappears/shifted using CAD .INI file SERVE CELL GEOMETRY:Explode for Microstation V8 DGN text elements (LO1 dataset) even though the text is not part of a cell. Also some data is rotated out of position (T2 dataset) when SERVE CELL GEOMETRY:Explode When the INI parameters are changed from SERVE CELL GEOMETRY:EXPLODE to SERVE CELL GEOMETRY:TRUE, the data issues of text not part of a cell disappearing is not a problem. Using the SERVE CELL GEOMETRY:TRUE is not an option for the customer due to the chart assembly process which requires splitting apart the cells to apply masking and ink since they have different color, level, styles and weights and was created for this reason.

Note that SERVE CELL GEOMETRY:EXPLODE was added by the product centre for the Microstation V8 format and works in a similar fashion to the AutoCAD Explode. Workflow to reproduce:

1. LO1 and T2 EXPLODE.gws has 4 map windows showing the problems.

2. Set up GIPS project and copy data to appropriate project folders.

3. Edit the .ini and .csd to reflect correct project folders path. Set the SERVE CELL GEOMETRY:TRUE in the .ini file to see the text displayed without any problem.

Set the .ini file to SERVE CELL GEOMETRY:EXPLODE to see the text not being displayed. Again, the text is not part of a cell. Will need to reopen connections once edits are done to the .ini file.

Currency values multiplied by x1000 for Insert Feature of AFM enabled MS SQL features.

User has noted the Placement and Editing option "Copy attributes from previous feature fails to correctly copy currency values for AFM enabled, MS SQL features. Problem occurs for both GDO and Spatial type MS SQL Server connections. The previous currency value copied to the next new feature is multiplied by 1000. The problem seems to be restricted to when Operational Class associations are defined with Event Handlers that keep the insert active for inserting the next connected line. Example Workflow:

1. User has File > Option, Placement & Editing tab option "Copy attributes from previous feature" enabled (checked).

2. User uses Insert feature to place a line (Line A), entering a value of 16 into an existing currency attribute field.

3. User Inserts another line (Line B), clicking OK on the Attribute Properties dialog.

4. User Inserts another line (Line C), again clicking OK on the Properties dialog.

Now go back and review the attributes for currency: Line A = $16.00 (as expected), Line B = $16,000.00 (off by factor of x1000), Line C = $16,000,000.00 (again off by factor of x1000 from previous value). Expected value of $16.00 for all 3 lines. Additionally, after inserting first line we can see that Properties dialogs for steps 3 and 4 do not show the previous value at all.

Validate Connectivity to fix Unbroken Intersecting Geometry results in loss of data or invalid geometry.

Toolbox > Validate Connectivity for automatic fixing of Unbroken Intersecting Geometry may delete portions of arcs when processing oracle data. When processing Access GDO stored arcs, invalid geometry components are created.The problem as noted for Oracle represents a loss of data with no recovery, and with no warning/message to the user of data loss. Attempting to use Undo results in the following error: GeoMedia Desktop Method '~' of object '~' failed.

For example if an arc crosses a line then one half of the arc will be deleted, the other half will remain. If processing unbroken intersecting Access (GDO) arcs, the arc geometry is broken but the arc pairs resulting from the break will be a Geometry Collection with 2 arcs; one arc is correct, the other has zero length. These GDO arcs that have been broken do not pass Validate Geometry; flagged as having invalid Geometry Component. Possible work-around for GDO arcs that have been broken may be to run Update Attributes to update the Geometry field using an expression such as: MERGE(GEOMETRIES(Input.Geometry)).

Performance using shared cache via PublishIFC is not as good as expected (compared to local cache).

Customer reports the following issue/observation when using Net Cached Shared files (PublishIFC with /cachemode Shared option): With newly created net cache file IO Load is almost exclusively Oracle.exe (Initially it’s primarily GeoMedia.exe then switches to Oracle.exe) Load time is slow (1 min). It seems that GeoMedia tries to use the Net Cache files then ends ups using Oracle instead. With old net cache files load takes substantially longer (~3 min). The reported slow load time is presumably when compared to Local Cache files since the customer reports the following observations when using Local Cache files: With newly created local cache files IO is almost exclusively GeoMedia.exe (eg most of the data are read from the cache files) Load times are very quick (< 20sec) With old local cache files IO load switches to Oracle.exe.

Need Oracle Performance Fix for Oracle LTT

There was a fixed done for the Oracle data server on GM 2014 to work with Oracle 12c. This addresses poor performance of that data server. That fix is in SP2 version 163. Development mentioned that this fix was not included into the Oracle LTT data server for 2014. The G&T business unit needs that fixed to be rolled up to the Oracle LTT data server for a benchmark we will be doing at Caltrans. We use Oracle LTT connections to temporally enable our LRS maintenance environment. We will need this as soon as possible as we will have to begin preparations for the benchmark. Jon mentioned he thought he could get it done by weeks end. Thank you for your help.

Legend Count of All Features incorrect for thematic legend entries.

A customer reported and provided data where we can see that the Count of All Features option is reporting incorrect values for legend entries associated to a range thematic. The problem is a regression from version 2014. For example in 2014 a thematic range of 0.90 to 1.0 may show 19/19 features where the same entry in 2015 may show: 0.90 to 1.0 19/14 features; notice how the count of all features is incorrect in 2015 (there are NO NULL geometries in the data). See Attachments for example screen shot, example data, and video. The data does have geometry problems as noted by Toolbox >Validate Geometry but the problem persist in 2015 even if the problematic geometries are fixed and/or deleted.

Edit Geometry result is incorrect for a triangle area feature in Oracle when vertex is moved twice.

A customer SR was filed reporting that using Edit Geometry on a triangle shaped area feature in Oracle where the feature class coordinate system was set to UTM Zone 11 with a WGS 84 datum would result in incorrect geometry after the edit. To reproduce the issue:

1. Open the UTM11WGS84.gws which has an Oracle Read-Write Connection to UTM11WGS84_JM/UTM11WGS84@TSDB64.

2. Click on one of the UTM11WGS84_JM.AREACLASS1 features displayed in the map window to add it to the select set, then choose the Edit Geometry command.

3. Select one of the vertex handles so that it is highlighted in purple, then click and drag that vertex to the opposite side of the triangle (as shown in the video).

4. Then click and drag the same vertex back to the original side of the triangle. This will result in the incorrect geometry shown in the video.

Notes and Observations: - In this workflow the Edit Geometry command is not exited between steps 3 and 4, but the mouse button is released after the click and drag in step 3, so that the user clicks on the vertex again to begin step 4.

The problem does not seem to occur with Access features that have the same geometry. This can be confirmed by performing the same workflow with the AREACLASS1 features from the UTM11WGS84.mdb Access warehouse. The AREACLASS1 features were created using Output to Feature Classes where the source features were the UTM11WGS84_JM.AREACLASS1 from the Oracle database.

Attempting to insert ERDAS .img files results in incorrect georeferencing mode selection.

When the user opens the Raster > Insert Georeferenced Images command, by default the georeference mode is 'Automatic'. After the user navigates to a folder with ERDAS .img files, and selects a file to push to the right side of the dialog, the georeferencing mode switches to 'world file'. This should not happen, since there is no world file present in the folder corresponding to the selected image. One of the files in question (ERDAS_large_87MB.img) can be inserted using 'other with internal coordinate system'. Most of them cannot be inserted at all, since there is no world file and, apparently, no internal coordinate system.

Unrecoverable ‘Encountered an improper argument’ error occurs opening .gws files with layout.

An SR was filed by a customer reporting that they were regularly seeing a failure when opening GeoWorkSpace where an error message with the title GeoMedia Desktop and the text “Encountered an improper argument.” was displayed. Upon researching this issue we discovered that the error occurs when opening a number of GeoWorkSpaces that contain a Layout Window within a single session. Specifically it appears that if you open more than five .gws files that contain a layout in a session the error appears consistently. The error message occurs when opening the sixth .gws. The ribbon bar also fails to display and you are usually unable to permanently dismiss the error message. This means you must use the Task Manager to kill the GeoMedia.exe process to recover from the error.

Display a spatial filter and add a point feature to the legend which takes 1 second (great performance). Delete the legend entry, then add the feature to the legend a second time for the same feature. The same feature with the same filter now takes 50 seconds.

Low certainty score values returned on short links where valence = 2.

Line to Line linking problem. We are seeing very low certainty scores assigned to small links which occur at internode (valence = 2) locations. It seems that the software is comparing the length of the one link to the entire projected distance of the other geometry resulting in a very low score. Problem background: It was noted in CR 1-FFFCS9 that nodes with valence = 2 (non-intersections) were being incorrectly treated / processed using the Intersection processing logic. A patch was provided where intersection processing logic was applied to only true intersections (valence > 2). The fix however seems to either have caused or uncovered a possible flaw with the logic used for certainty score weight calculations.

Load Styles > 'Match style names with thematic classes' option is documented incorrectly

The documentation for the Load Styles - ' 'Match style names with thematic classes' states that the style matching is based on the thematic label, but this is incorrect as it is actually based on the thematic value. The documentation for the checkbox currently states: "If the check box is checked, the option tries to match the thematic label with the matching style name before overriding the style." However the 'GMUniqueValueLegendEntry Control Design Specification' states: "If the “Match style names with thematic classes” check box is checked, the command tries to match the thematic value with the style name before overriding the style." I have verified via testing with GeoMedia 2015 that the software matches the behavior described in the design specification. Thus the documentation needs to state that the matching is performed on the thematic value rather than the thematic label.

Length of linear dynamic segmentation incorrect if use offset.

User has noted that when any offset is used with a linear dynamic segmentation query, the resulting dynamic segmentation geometry (dynseg geometry) is incorrect. The amount of error can vary from small (few meters) to very large (Kilometers). The problem prevents users from obtaining any reliable results if using offset for linear dynamic segmentation. The problem is a regression from version 2014. Example: User wants to map construction zone along a straight line that begins at 0.0 miles and ends at 8.0 miles. The construction zone table has a beginning log mile of 1.0 and a distance (duration) of 5.0. This means the dynamic segmentation geometry should extend from 1.0 to 6.0 along the 8.0 mile route. If no offset is applied, we see the expected result. If we offset by any amount (positive or negative value) such as 1 meter, then the construction zone extends from 1.0 mile to 8.0 miles (2.0 miles beyond where it should have stopped).

Expected Fusion Links Not Created After Running Create Links.

In certain data cases, the link creation process behaves as if it lacks the capability to create multiple associations to the same link ID. Ultimately this leads to a link table that may have missing link relationships which are needed for processing in other applications such as GeoMedia Transportation MRLS Conflation command. It is not known if all workflows require 1:Many or Many:1 link relations but in the case of MRLS, these type of relations are expected. Workflow using supplied data:

1. Open Linked.gws, correcting paths as needed. The links for this data has already been generated and stored in GMFLinear_Linked (seen in data window).

2. In the Queued Edit Data Window for GMFLinear_Linked, select the Conn1FeatureID column header then right-click to sort the n ascending order.

3. Scroll through the data records and locate Conn1FeatureID 872.

Observation: Notice how there is only 1 link for 872. It's elated to only Conn2FeatureID 1046. We expected that it should be linked to Conn2FeatureID 1043. The same situation occurs for Conn1FeatureID 876, where it fails to have a link to Conn2FeatureID 1000.

CustomFieldsPipe and UnionPipe issues.

The recordset based on a UnionPipe cannot be loaded when the UnionPipe is derived from CustomFieldsPipe and the CustomFieldsPipe has added geometry field without the CoordSystem extension set. There are at least three issues here:

1. The framework displays a meaningless error message which does not help to trace the source of problem at all

2. This used to work without the extension in previous versions

3. If the CoordSystem extension is mandatory for geometry fields, it is not mentioned in the documentation. Attached is a sample command to test. The pipe creation logic is in the Activate method of the command (UnionPipeTest.cs) and the IGMCustomFieldService interface is implemented in CustPipe.cs. The key part of the code is in SetupFields method. The new field is created without the extension. There is also commented line above, which contains the extension. For GM 2014 the code works fine without the extension. Test it without the extension also on GM 2015 to see the meaningless error message. Then change the code so that the CoordSystem extension is passed to the pIGMCustomField.CreateField method. Then it should also work on GM 2015.

Select Set Properties fails to display attributes for features from WFS connection.

The Select Set Properties dialog does not display the attributes for features served from some WFS connections. This is a regression from GeoMedia 2014 where the Select Set Properties dialog displays the successfully displays the attributes from the same features. Additionally other commands in the product display the attributes successfully, so this appears as it could be a problem caused by the conversion of the Select Set Properties dialog from VB. To reproduce the problem, use the steps below. 1. Start GeoMedia Professional 2015.

2. Select the New Connection command and choose WFS Read-Only.

3. For the Web Feature Service click OK to make the connection.

4. Use the Add Legend Entries command add the ‘zones’ feature class to the legend.

5. Double-click on one of the ‘zones’ area features displayed in the map window. Note that there are only two attributes displayed in the Select Set Properties dialog (gml_description and gml_name) and both of these attributes have blank values.

6. Now select the Feature Class Definition command and choose ‘zones’ from the ‘Feature classes’ list.

7. Click the ‘Review’ button and then make the ‘Attributes’ tab active.

Note that there are 18 additional attributes present for the ‘zones’ feature class that were not displayed on the Select Set Properties dialog. Other commands such as ‘Functional Attributes’ and ‘Attribute Selection’ also successfully display these attributes.

Caching not performant when legend entries are not set to display on status.

As a GeoWorkSpace is opened, GeoMedia has logic which reviews the display status (Display On, Display Off, Display by Scale status) of legend entries as a means to either load or not load a record set. Testing with exclusive caching of oracle data shows that caching seems to only improve performance for legend entries that are set to Display On. The use of caching where the legend entries are not displayed can degrade performance. Especially if legend entries are set to Display by Scale and the current scale is out of range, then caching may cause a 3x slower GeoWorkSpace open than when caching is disabled. Example observations when caching is enabled: Legend entries set to Display by Scale results in 3x slower .gws open Legend entries set to Display Off results in approximately equal time to open .gws Legend entries set to Display On results in 3x faster .gws open Thematic legend entries set to display by scale is approximately the same or marginally slower

Specifically instead of seeing the original Cyrillic characters in the name all of the Cyrillic characters are converted to underbars and the name is prefixed with an F character so that it appears like the following “F____________”. Since all of the layer names are converted to underbars with the F prefix it is impossible to distinguish one layer from another via the name presented in GeoMedia. Note that the

Simplify Geometry Command.

A customer has a Shapefile that I have connected to in GeoMedia Professional 6.1. There are 6 polygons which have more than 8000 vertices, which we want to reduce. I ran an Attribute Query against the Shapefile to find the polygons that have a vertice count > 8000. I then ran the Simplify Geometry command against the Attribute Query with a distance of 100m. The resultant query reduces the original polygon to a polygon with five vertices. I tried other approaches with no success. I had really strange results and the only route that seemed to consistently work for me is to push the data to Access, place the six polygons in my select set, create a select set query and then use the Simplify Geometry command. This creates the results that I would expect.

Place by Face is creating non-coincident output where arcs are present.

"Place by Face" is creating non-coincident edges where arcs are present in the source face (illustrated by opening the Workspace of "Untitled.gws" and examining the location where the source feature of "City_Limits_Bdy" is shown with the feature of " City_Whatever", which was placed with Place by Face).

The non-coincidence problem seems to be present just where arcs are present in the source data that was identified as the geometry to use as the template for "Place by Face". The original polygon created via tracing is the one found in the above mentioned feature class. This polygon was then placed in City_Whatever via Insert Area by Face. As seen after zooming in to say 1:1000 or so, both polygons overlap but should be coincident. I have not seen this anywhere else in my data where circular arcs exist but drawing processes of those may be different -- i.e. point to point. The original polygon here was not drawn via point to point but more likely arc by whatever.

Spatial Filter is opening query recordset that has never been on legend.

A customer SR was received stating that when they have queries from an Oracle connection on the legend with the display turned off the queries were still evaluated when a spatial filter was applied. This seems to be confirmed by the entries written to GOracle.log file which shows that when a Spatial Filter is applied a spatially filtered query is created even though the legend entry for that query was not displayed. In addition to this observation I found when researching this issue that applying a spatial filter opens a spatially filtered recordset for queries that have never been on the legend at all (in other words the only place the query exists is in the query folder.)

Apply Spatial Filter Scans All Members of Category If Only One Member on Map Legend.

While researching Oracle performance issues, a user notes that the logic for Spatial Filter when opening a GeoWorkspace vs. Apply Spatial in active GeoWorkspace is different. Based on results of GOracle.log containing features unreferenced by the GeoWorkspace the user feels that there must be some problem with Apply Spatial Filter command in GeoMedia. Workflow:

1) Create New blank GeoWorkspace and connect Read-Write to Oracle spatial data warehouse.

2) Select Warehouse > Categories and add 1 new Category and add all features as members of the category.

3) Add 1 simple (small number of records) item from the category to the map view.

4) Apply Spatial Filter.

5) Note: Tester used Spatial Filter Options, MBR and Overlap.

6) Exit and Save the GeoWorkspace.

7) Create C:\Temp\GOracle.log.

8) Open same GeoWorkspace and then Exit after data is displayed.

9) Make copy of GOracle.log to new name such as Open_GWS_Log.txt.

10) Create new C:\Temp\GOracle.log.

11) Open same GeoWorkspace and select Apply Spatial Filter by View then Exit the GeoWorkspace (do not save).

12) If you look at the last GOracle.log and search for feature names you will find that for some unknown reason the Apply Spatial Filter by View performed SQL statements for items not on the map legend.

Match Geoworkspace and default warehouse coordinate systems.

I have found that the option 'Match GeoWorkspace and default Warehouse coordinate systems' when 'making first connection' and 'creating a new warehouse' is not honored if the initial warehouse connection fails. Workflow to reproduce: With both the 'Match Geoworkspace and default Warehouse coordinate systems' options active on the General tab complete the following workflow:

1. Open GeoMedia, and create a new blank GeoWorkspace. The default coordinate system for this is Geographic WGS84. Confirm by reviewing the 'Coordinate System' from the Home ribbon.

2. Create a new Warehouse connection using any Oracle Read/Write or Read Only dataserver, deliberately getting the host name wrong so that the connection will fail.

3. Go to Warehouse connections, edit the properties on the Oracle connection to the correct host name, and open the connection.

4. Go to legend and add any feature class and it will be displayed in Geographic WGS84, rather than the default co-ordinate system of the Oracle database. Review the coordinate system and confirm that the match to the Oracle connection did not occur.

Check this again in a new instance of GeoMedia, new GeoWorkspace but this time getting the Oracle connection parameters correct first time, and sure enough the data is then displayed in the appropriate coordinate system.

SQL Server 2012 database picklists not working on some features.

We created a handful of feature classes to capture castle and castle related complexes (e.g. CASTLE_P, CASTLE_S, CASTLE_COMPLEX_P, CASTLE_COMPLEX_S) in our SQL Server Express 2012 database. These features had several attributes with picklists on them (storing an integer but displaying a textual description). I've created a subset of our data model to test it out further. The picklists fail on CASTLE_P, CASTL_P and CAST_P in SQL Server but it worked on CAS_P. I've attached a text file containing a script to create my sample tables, sample picklist tables, and populate them in a SQL Server database as well as add the entries into the GPicklists table. Once created, I used the database utilities to add the feature class metadata (changed geometry type to spatial point and accepted default (WGS84) coordinate system). I then connected to the DB via GM Desktop and then inserted one of each feature classes (Vector > Insert Feature) and then tried to use the picklist. This impacts our workflows (bringing the data in, collection of additional data/population of attributes, and then outputting the data back out to its final format). In the interim we've gone with the CAS or CA feature class name so that picklists work but this adds additional steps for conversions of feature class names.

For instance in my testing a GPS position that should have been displayed at Longitude -86:44:32.496, Latitude 34:48:42.685 was displayed at Longitude -86:44:00, Latitude 34:48:00 instead. When using the German (Germany) Format settings the Decimal symbol is a comma (,) and the List separator is a semi-colon (;). It appears that GeoMedia Mobile is taking these settings into account when interpreting the NMEA stream which is causing the GPS coordinate values to be truncated. When using English (United States) Format settings where the Decimal symbol is a point (.) and the List separator is a comma (,) the correct GPS coordinate position is displayed (i.e. Longitude -86:44:32.496, Latitude 34:48:42.685 in my test case). This problem is evident when capturing features or writing to the GPSLog feature and it can be reproduced with live tracking as well as when using a simulation file.

GeoMedia throws a runtime error while attempting to load the query dialog.

GeoMedia throws a C++ runtime error while attempting to load the query command from the ribbon toolbar. The circumstances when this occurs is probably not typical but it is probable. I have a GeoWorkspace which contains a few hundred queries. For the client I’m working with, it’s required that each highway has its own display LRM query. In total that’s almost 300 queries. These queries are not all displayed on the map at the same time so the user must select the query function from the analysis tab and load the query dialog. It’s understandable that due to the large number of queries this function will take a few minutes to load. However, after about 10 minutes a runtime error is displayed. Below is the error message text:

Performance problem loading large thematically classified record sets (Open GWS vs. Display On).

Thematic legend entries on the map legend load much slower if loaded when performing a File > Open GeoWorkSpace. If instead the features are loaded by right-click Load or Display, the features load much faster. For example: Have GeoWorkspace with two unique value thematics entries which constitute some 300+ legend entries via Oracle connection. If the thematics are in a “display off” state on the map legend, the GeoWorkSpace file may open in 9 seconds. If we then right-click to set to “Display On” for the 2 thematic entries, the time required is 23 seconds. Total time: Open + Load/Display = 32 seconds. If instead the GeoWorkSpace is opened with the 2 thematics in a display on state, the time required is 2 minutes, 24 seconds to open. Expected that the time required would be opening + viewing to be less than 35 seconds. The problem can be seen with or without Caching, it just takes longer to observe when caching is not used.

Time to load record sets 5x slower after reboot when using caching.

After rebooting, the time required to load a record set from a connection where caching is slower and in most cases observed to be more than 5x slower than subsequent loads (even in different GeoWorkSpace sessions). See also attachments for example times observed. Example: User has Oracle connection with caching enabled. The cache files already exist in users’ local client side C:\Warehouses\Caches folder.

1. After first invocation of .gws after reboot, time required to load and display is 3 min and 32

seconds.

2. Now exit the GeoWorkSpace (does not matter if you save or not).

3. Reopen GeoWorkSpace Now notice that the same record set loads in only 36.5 seconds.

Monitoring %TEMP% we see that for each legend entry loaded, that a .tmp file is created. The performance seen in the load time was parallel to the time required for these tmp files to reach their max size (size for .tmp files was constant for each test). Key point: After rebooting the .tmp files were slower to build up even when cache files exist.

Setup - Desktop installs wrong version of .dlls

Starting with version 14.00.0002.143, GeoMedia Desktop is installing files required by GeoSpatial Datapipe to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intergraph\GeoMedia\Program\QD. The files delivered are out of date, causing that program to fail to run properly. The correct versions are delivered by GeoSpatial Datapipe, but they are not being loaded when GeoMedia Desktop starts, due to system pathing issues. Per development lead for GeoSpatial Datapipe, problem can be worked around by a registry edit: ---------------------------------------- The problem is due to another PATH key in registry. This sub-key (“Path”) can be found under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\GeoMedia.exe The “Path” sub-key has the following in my system C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intergraph\GeoMedia\Program;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intergraph;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intergraph\CoordSystems\Program;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intergraph\GeoMedia\Program\QD;C:\Program Files\Intergraph\GeoMedia Professional\Program; This path includes the folders that GeoMedia needs to look at and it has C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intergraph\GeoMedia\Program\QD folder path in it. I tried adding “C:\win32app\ingr\Share” folder path as the first entry before “C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intergraph\GeoMedia\Program\QD” in this registry key. The GeoSpatial Datapipe (14.00.0035.00004) command works fine after adding this path. You might have to exit and reopen GeoMedia Professional after making changes to the Path variable ---------------------------------------- Please see attached emails. There is no 'installation' or 'setup' component - used 'Cmds - Application - GM' instead.

Thematic display by scale legend entries can fail to load in 3D.

Legend entries defined as thematic and also set to display by scale can fail to load their data when displaying a 3D view. This can occur when loading a workspace persisted in 3D or when changing the display mode after conversion to 3D (when the legend features are currently outside the viewable display scale range). This can be avoided somewhat by carefully adjusting the workflow to convert to 3D after properly setting up the legend entries, but many datasets already configure such displays and will easily encounter the problem.

The event feature is a 2D symbol where the settings are offset using a relative altitude and the display facing upright option whereas the Unit feature/symbol is a 3D symbol of a police car (HonoluluCrwnVic.xpl). If the user attempts to select items in the 3D map window using a fence selection method, it is only slightly better, if there are multiple items within a close proximity, the items within the fence may be selected (selected) but they are not all located (visible on GSM's PickQuick style dialog), one feature might be located and the others at that location are missed. All of the items are fully selectable/locatable in a 2D window but are not in a 3D window.
