ArcReader is a free, easy to use mapping application from ESRI that allows users to view GIS data, and can be download at http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcreader/. This is a large file to download, weighing in at about 200 MB. If you would like to avoid the time it takes to download, please send us an e-mail at merrittjoe@hotmail.com and we can make up a CD with the installation file for $5.00. ESRI also offers a fantastic tutorial on using ArcReader which is a must-read for anyone that wants to use the application. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Clinton County Data in ArcReader: 1. Create a folder on your computer called ArcReader. Any data you download, including the template files you need, must all go into this folder. If the data & template files are not copied into the ArcReader folder you just created this application will not work. 2. Go to the
Remember, everything must go into the ArcReader folder, with NO SUB-FOLDERS. NOTE: The photography used in the template files are simply to large to make available for download on this web page; please e-mail us at merrittjoe@hotmail.com and we will make a set of DVD's or CD's that you can purchase for $10.00 or $5.00 a piece, which you can pick up in the Map Office or in the GIS Department in the Clinton County Courthouse. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. You should have 1 folder called ArcReader. Now, you must download the ArcReader Template File(s) found below. If you only have a printer that can print 8.5 x 11 inches, then you can just download the 8.5x11 template. ======================================== View Template Descriptions and Download Templates:
======================================== This is important: Decompress the Template Files into your ArcReader folder, so that they are in the same folder as the data you download. The ArcReader Template Files have an extension pmf. A PMF file is short for Published Map File. ArcReader is a free GIS data viewer, and is therefore somewhat limited in it's ability to print to scale on different sized paper, so, we have developed 3 PMF files named ArcReaderTemplate8x11, ArcReaderTemplate11x17, and ArcReaderTemplate22x34, to print to different sized paper. Most people have printers that can print 8x11 to 11x17, so these two files will probably be the most often used. It might be a good idea to create a shortcut to the template you most often use and put that shortcut onto your desktop, for quick and easy access. To use our data with ArcReader, just double-click on one of the template files. You should be rewarded with a view of our entire county that looks like this after double-clicking on a pmf file. Please note that these template files will ONLY work with ArcReader 9.3. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To make updates to any of this data, go to the
Be sure to delete the old data in the ArcReader folder first, then decompress the new data into the ArcReader folder. As long as the file names remain the same, ArcReader will automatically pick up and start using the new data. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What's New in ArcReader 05-18-09: A NEW way to find addresses is coming...
