Utility Data Application

ArcFM 8.0.2.1 is the latest version of the manufacturer's AM/FM/GIS application for modeling, editing, maintaining, and managing facility and landbase data for utilities. ArcFM 8, an extension of ESRI's object-oriented ArcInfo 8.0.2, is a flexible and customizable set of mapping and editing tools geared toward the needs of utility end-users. ArcFM 8 provides industry-standard architecture, ease-of-use, and cartographic tools that improve editing productivity by integrating spatial and tabular information.

Additional functionality includes batch plotting and a component for duct and trench management. Users can now place underground linear structures (ULS) on the map, assign positions to conductors or cables within the ULS, and add a cross-section view of the ULS. Additionally, support of internationalization, attribute editor enhancements, field information manager enhancements, and electric trace solvers are also part of this new version.
