Haven’t had much chance to work with the GeoMedia Pro 6.1 Beta this week. But did want to pass on a list of the new functional attributes and their descriptions – straight out of the GeoMedia Pro 6.1 Release Contents documentation:
This new function returns the alignment of a text point geometry.
This new function converts a standard text collection composed of single-character and zero-character text point geometries, into a composite text collection representing a single string.
This new function creates and returns a text point geometry given a point geometry, text string, alignment, and orientation.
This new function computes the minimum distance between two geometries.
This new function formats an attribute value into a string according to the display format and display precision settings in the extended GeoMedia client metadata for the attribute. It yields the same presentation of the attribute used throughout the GeoMedia client. It is applicable only for attributes, not for intermediate expression results or literal operands, as it is dependent upon the attribute metadata. For other attribute formatting needs, the TEXT function should be used.
This new function returns a polygon representing the minimum bounding rectangle of a geometry, orthogonal to the X-axis.
This new function creates and returns a unique value of type GUID (globally unique identifier).
This new constant represents a text literal string containing a carriage return and a line feed.
I haven’t had a chance to play with any of them yet. Just reading the descriptions off the top of my head, to me, the three that have the most value are DISTANCE, NEWLINE, and NEWGUID.
For those that use functional attributes – what do you think is the best addition?

I’ve had a few requests for a centralized placed where people can place information on bugs that have been found. Thought this place would be as good as any. I’ll leave the page up for a few weeks. If it turns out to be of use, I’ll keep it. If no one is using it, it’s easy to remove.
So post away!

Have started to play around with GeoMedia Transaction Manager 6.0 some this week. I hadn’t used it since its 5.2 days when I was with Intergraph. Anyhow, moved a bunch of data into a test Oracle XE database. Then went to secure it using the GTM Administrator. Started getting errors suggesting that something was wrong with my database…. After I did some research, it turns out that Oracle Workspace Manager is NOT in Oracle XE! Wish I had known that (or done the research) before setting up the database. 
Anyhow, thought I’d pass it along in case others were looking to do the same.

For those that are local to the San Francisco Bay Area, we’re having our next Northern California Intergraph Geospatial User’s Community user’s group meeting on August 8, in San Mateo, CA. Take a look at the NCIGUC web site for more information. It should be a great meeting!

Sorry, didn’t get a chance to post yesterday. Will try and get a few up today and will start doing more on GeoMedia 6.1.
Anyhow, did want to post a link to a fantastic TIFF resource. They even have some information on how Intergraph directly writes and reads TIFFs. This is a good tie to my previous post “Sharing GeoTIFFs Between ArcGIS and GeoMedia”. Anyhow, the site is hosted by Aware [Systems]. They even have a great (free) TIFF tag reader. This tool works much like the tag reader inside of the free ISRU Toolkit delivered with GeoMedia Professional (by default located at C:\Program Files\GeoMedia Professional\Program\ISRUStandalone.exe).
