"Description: This extension includes a large suite of tools for calculating geometric attributes of vector features and for selecting and naming graphics. All tools are available at the ArcView license level."


Cleaner and Faster than conventional 'ESRI' Toolsets (and a progress bar that works)



Simple layout of functions - much better than those geoprocessing tools in the toolbox you can never find the name for.
