Select and Edit Text Command Inside of GeoMedia 6.1

Posted by jeffhobbs on August 17, 2007

With GeoMedia 6.1 you’re now able to do a find on a text feature class based on the symbology (color, font, size, style, etc.) or contents (literal value of the text). Then you can edit the text to match different business needs. For instance, you might have created rich text that is 14pt and red. You can use this command to find all of this text and change it to 12pt green.

I’ve since this before in products like Adobe Illustrator and the former Macromedia Freehand. Though they probably aren’t too useful strictly in a "GIS" sense, they can be very useful when looking at cartographic output.

I’ve uploaded a video showing the functionality to YouTube.

Potential Problems with Latest GeoMedia WebMap Hotfixes

Posted by jeffhobbs on August 17, 2007

There was a posting on the Directions Magazine email list pertaining to the latest GeoMedia WebMap and GeoMedia WebMap Publisher hotfixes (06.00.35.02). From the email:

Just to let everyone know, the current WebMap & Publisher hot fix, 6.00.35.02 has quite a few issues so I don’t suggest to download this until they fix it.

Issues that were supposedly fixed in previous hot fixes were not added to this one! Intergraph support is aware of the problem.

Thought I’d pass on the information here as well. Not the best way to end a Friday :-( . In fact, I just installed the two hotfixes today before getting the email….
