Version: 3.1  3.0

 

  Automating the Distribution of Locationaries™


  The easiest way of distributing a customized system Locationary template to all new users at MapSpeller 3.1 is by overwriting the User_Polygon_Locationary.shp shapefile that resides within the MapSpeller 3.1 esriaddin file and sharing that esriaddin among all new users. Once a new user named XYZ installs the add-in, MapSpeller will copy this Locationary to the user's Windows profile:
  • In Windows 7 or Vista: C:\Users\XYZ\AppData\Roaming\Edgetech America\MapSpeller
  • In Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\XYZ\Application Data\Edgetech America\MapSpeller

Esriaddin files are actually zip files. To see their contents, rename the file extension as zip. The zip file can then be uncompressed to substitute the User_Polygon_Locationary.shp and associated files using ArcCatalog , and then recompressed and renamed with the esriaddin extension.

 
Important Note
 
The custom Locationary will also be automatically distributed to all existing users who may have deleted or renamed their own user Locationary.
