New Issues Addressed with ArcGIS 9.0 Service Pack 3

3D Globe / Animation Desktop Engine Engine Dev Kit Reader Server Server .NET ADF Server Java ADF

CQ00158299 - Can't export extruded features to a VRML.

n/a n/a n/a

CQ00244435 - Can't locate (identify, select, target) extruded points in 3D ArcScene.

n/a n/a
CQ00249962 - "When generating full data cache for elevation layers that with the application setting for layer visibility is off, the result is an empty data cache and subsequently a corrupt data display.

If the data is add visible or there was already a visible layer in the document, the problem will not occur. This fix will address the problem described above."
n/a n/a n/a
CQ00251483 - "When using overlapping elevation data the application should pick the highest resolution data and use that as the elevation source. This works correctly for on-demand data caching of elevation data but has the following problems when full data cache is generated for the same data.

If you have two or more overlapping elevation data sources where the no-data area of one elevation overlaps the data area of another layer, the no-data area cells should be ignored and ArcGlobe should use the elevation layer(s) that contain valid elevation data. Currently, when these types of elevation layers are visible at the same time, the no-data areas of an elevation data layer can ""knock out"" valid data areas of an overlapping elevation data source."
n/a n/a n/a

CQ00254194 - "Problems with the Animation Manager on machines with Windows XP Service Pack 2. ArcGlobe and ArcScene will crash in the following two scenarios:

1. If the Animation Manager is opened before any animation tracks have been created
2. If the Close button is clicked on the Animation Track Binding dialog box."

Application Framework
CQ00261918 - After installing 9.0 Service Packs (1 and 2) on a localized version of ArcGIS, opening any ArcGIS Desktop document file and a (i.e., mxd, mxt, sxd, sxt, 3dd, 3dt, and pmf) in Windows Explorer will display the error "This <document path> is not a valid Win32 application".
n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a
ArcMap
CQ00140926 - It is no longer necessary to have the <default> annotation group turned on to select or edit elements in any annotation group. Previously, it was not possible to select or edit elements in annotation groups created in maps unless the <default> group was turned on.
n/a n/a
CQ00242221 - The Subscript font tag does not work with all fonts.
n/a n/a
CQ00242716 - Edits to legend item description font style are reset to the original default settings after the map is saved.
n/a n/a
CQ00251519 - Can't select features after joining a table to an event layer. The layer can be an XY event layer or a route event layer.
n/a n/a
CQ00253770 - ArcMap crashes when converting vertical Japanese labels to annotation.

Maps containing a large number of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) characters rendered with CJK-character orientation may cause the ArcMap application to crash or become unresponsive during map display and output or during conversion of labels to annotation."
n/a n/a
CQ00254781 - Too much memory is allocated when setting a projected coordinates' system properties.
n/a n/a
CQ00255440 - ArcMap crashes on batch export of Kanji text to PDF (GDI leak when font embedding is on).

Exporting a map to PDF, EPS, or SVG with font embedding turned on may cause the ArcMap application to crash or become unresponsive if the map text includes a large number of non-Latin (Chinese, Japanese, etc.) characters."

n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a
CQ00260547 - If a table was joined to a shapefile using the "Keep only matching records" option, and a definition query was created using fields from both the table and the shapefile, then the data disappeared from the map view. The data is properly displayed with this fix.
n/a n/a
CQ00262147 - If a table was joined to a shapefile using the "Keep only matching records" option, and a definition query was created using fields from both the table and the shapefile, then attempting to select records within the shapefile attribute table crashed ArcMap. Records are properly selected with this fix.
n/a n/a
Geodatabase
CQ00253147 - The check-in process adjusts foreign key values to match new ObjectID values applied to inserted rows during check-in. If the relationship class primary key is not the ObjectID column, the adjustment is applied when it shouldn't be.
n/a n/a n/a
CQ00255091 - Create topology fails when the extent of the participating feature classes is several orders of magnitude less than feature dataset extent. n/a n/a
Geometry Desktop Engine Engine Dev Kit Reader Server Server .NET ADF Server Java ADF
CQ00261669 - The IGeometryFactory.CreateGeometryFromWkb method produces an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error.

CQ00262818 - A map document draws slower when using a non-English locale. (Also fixes CQ00262817)
n/a n/a
Geoprocessing Framework
CQ00250781 - Model layout is altered when using non-English local settings. Elements are disconnected and the display order is lost.
n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a
CQ00256747 - Environment settings do not return proper values within script tools.

Envioronment settings, such as workspace, may be set and properly used within a script utilized by a script tool, but the correct value is not returned when the value is accessed from the geoprocessor. This will cause problems when using logic that queries environment setting values.
n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a
CQ00259260 - Process preconditions are not working with 9.0 Service Pack 2 when trying to run a script tool that utilizes an executable (exe) before other tools in a model.
n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a
Geoprocessing Scripting
CQ00257146 - A script tool with a feature layer as the output parameter type no longer works with ArcGIS 9.0 Service Pack 2.

Script tools that have an output parameter type of Feature layer or Raster layer will not produce the output layer. The layer is deleted after the script tool completes because it sees the output as a scratch or intermediate layer that should be deleted.
n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a
Geoprocessing Tools
CQ00250560 - If you are exporting blocks to DWG and have scaleX, scaleY, and scaleZ fields set to 0.0, the process may crash.
n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a
CQ00250626 - Can't export multipoint shapefiles or feature classes to any CAD format using any of the export tools in ArcToolbox or ArcCatalog.
n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a
CQ00250928 - Projecting a feature class with a geographic (datum) transformation drops features. When the output xy domain is calculated, the geotransformation information isn't used. This results in missing data in the area that corresponds to the datum shift. When features are transformed, there is the potential for data loss of any features that fall along the outer edges of the data envelope.

When transformed, the datum shift may cause the features to fall outside the newly calculated spatial extent.

Though initially discovered with a transformation from NAD83 to HARN, this problem can occur on any dataset that is transformed and whose features fall outside the output xy spatial domain.
n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a
CQ00252408 - The Geocode Addresses geoprocessing tool does not use the geoprocessing environment settings for spatial reference.
n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a
CQ00253989 - When the ImportCAD command is run it skips arcs and shared cells geometry.
n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a
CQ00253995 - When the ImportCAD command encounters 3D lines (dimension elevation), it does not retain this property.
n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a
CQ00262814 - The Identity tool will cause ArcGIS to fail if the Keep Relationships option is used with input features classes containing more than a couple thousand features.
n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a
Linear Reference / Dynamic Segmentation
CQ00235562 - Accessing the Identify Route Locations tool in ArcMap crashes the application when an ArcIMS or a Map Server layer is present in the map.
n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a
CQ00243379 - Route hatching in 9.0 mxd files gets corrupted. In certain cases, when opening a saved map document, hatching intervals are ignored, and hatches are placed at every vertex. Copying and pasting the layer into a new data frame will temporarily solve the issue. However, if you save, close, and reopen the map document, the issue will reappear.
n/a n/a
CQ00243572 - Can’t define a text expression on a Hatch definition in ArcMap. ArcMap crashes when you click OK on the Hatch Text Expression dialog box.
n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a
CQ00245428 - Clicking the SQL Expression button on the Hatch Properties Dialog box crashes ArcMap if the link to the data is broken.

If you saved a map document that contains a route feature class, and the specified data path for that route feature class is no longer valid, the link to the data will be broken. If you attempt to define a SQL expression on the Hatch Properties dialog box for this broken layer, ArcMap will crash.

n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a
CQ00248175 - Some route features are not calibrated when a string identifier field is used. These route features are incorrectly assigned measure values of NaN.
n/a n/a
CQ00248977 - "Editing a route feature with the Topology edit tool doesn't refresh point events based on the route.
If you use the Topology Edit tool to edit a route feature, point events that are based on the route are not automatically refreshed. This is only a problem if the dynseg cache is turned on; the cache is on by default."
n/a n/a
CQ00251740 - Improving labeling performance for route event sources when using SQL queries.

Labeling performance is less than optimal in the most common labeling situations, for example, when the query defines few routes and few events for display. Currently, labeling is optimized when labeling many of routes and few events. This has to do with the order in which the query is processed. Changing how the query is processed will significantly speed up the draw time for the majority of cases.

n/a n/a
Maplex Desktop Engine Engine Dev Kit Reader Server Server .NET ADF Server Java ADF
CQ00256117 - The Maplex label engine can produce a Maplex General Labeling error when labeling features that do not have a corresponding symbol defined in the renderer.
n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a
CQ00261825 - Maplex does not add fields used by renderers to the internal query filter when adding features to the label engine. This can lead to a Maplex General Labeling error because features are passed to the label engine without the proper attributes for symbol matching.
n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a
Raster
CQ00241328 - ArcMap may hang or crash when symbolizing on a joined field after joining a table that is not associated with a feature or raster dataset to a GRID's value attribute table (VAT).

Issues previously addressed with ArcGIS 9.0 Service Pack 2, and included in Service Pack 3


World Data Updates

International boundaries and sovereignty changes world data periodically based on world events. In order to correctly reflect the world situation, several datasets that we have used in samples and tutorials (part of the ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Engine, and ArcIMS products) as well as for Data & Maps, require updates. Specifically there are some issues related to China that require us to immediately update some datasets. Replacement files with the correct attribution are now available and are included in 9.0 SP2 for the products, as well as the replacement of datasets on the Data & Maps media, which will be inlined into the production process at the next production opportunity. The changes have been made for the critical market and will be shipped with all future shipments that include the 9.0 Data & Maps media.

CQ00237312 - Raster Catalogs in ArcGlobe Application will result in an application crash if there are no renderers are selected (such as color Map, Stretched or RGB) in the symbology tab of the catalog layer. n/a n/a
CQ00238726 - A seam will appear between boarders of adjacent datasets or image mosaics. This seam is not part of the data is an artifact introduced by the application. It can become apparent with high resolution imagery or when zoomed close to the datasets' boarders. n/a n/a
CQ00243045 - When displaying feature datasets in ArcGlobe, they may appear to hang the application, as unnecessarily levels of detail will be generated by the application even when not required. A typical case is when the view is zoomed close to an area of interest of a feature layer, the application will attempt to generate lower - coarser levels of detail. This greatly affected the application performance and/or responsiveness. n/a n/a
ArcCatalog
CQ00238441 - ArcCatalog crashes when you create a new advanced text style for an existing populated dimension feature class. n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a
CQ00241441 - VB6 modeless dialogs fail to display in ArcCatalog since VBA is not loaded on startup with PreloadVBA registry setting. n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a
ArcMap
CQ00239678 - Some PDF documents are not able to be inserted in other PDF applications. In other cases, the insertion may appear successful, but sections of the merged PDF may disappear and the PDF viewer table of contents may appear corrupted. This is due to the pdf stream length being calculated incorrectly when compression turned on within PDF files generated through ArcGIS 9.0. This setting is controlled through the "Compress Vector Graphics" checkbox in the PDF Export Options dialog. This fix corrects the stream compression problem so that compressed PDF files can successfully be inserted. n/a
CQ00241834 - ArcObjects: ExportEMF ExportEMF should not raise error when ExportFileName is empty string. This fix corrects a problem that caused some Layout objects to disappear when maps were published to PMF via ArcGIS Publisher. The affected Layout objects include Graphs, Tables, Word Documents, and other inserted OLE objects. n/a
CQ00242131 - Maps saved same as printer in 8.3 not openly correctly in 9.0. Users who have map documents saved with the Page Setup option 'Same as Printer' turned on may experience problems when opening these documents in ArcMap 9.0. These problems may include the page setting to switch from the printer saved with the map document to the default printer on the user's workstation and even scaling the entire map to that default printer's default page size if the 'Scale map elements...' was turned on when the map document was saved.

The issue is that ArcMap 9.0 does not properly sense which version of the software the map document was saved in. ArcMap 9.0 has several improvements with the handling of opening map documents with 'Same as Printer', or 'Use Printer Paper Settings' as it is called in 9.0 and therefore, needs to properly switch between reading 8.x saved map documents and reading 9.0 saved map documents.

This fix enables ArcMap to properly sense which version (8.x or 9.0) the map document was saved in and switches ArcMap to the correct opening sequence to properly open the map document.

CQ00242230 - On Novell networks or accessing offline printers, the Print and Page Setup dialogs in ArcMap open slowly, or ArcMap crashes. Some printer configurations (i.e., Novell Netware or NDPS network printer queue or if the printer disconnected from the network or when the network printer goes off-line.) can cause the ArcMap 9.0 Page and Print Setup dialog to appear slow or unresponsive, sometimes taking from 30 seconds to three minutes to open. In some cases, the ArcMap application may appear frozen or crash when the Page and Print Setup or Print dialogs are opened. n/a

Server Administration
CQ00237628 - You cannot type in the path to a geocode server object in ArcGIS Server This prevented users from typing in path names (especially prevented users to type in UNIX pathnames to point to an address locator on a UNIX machine). Users now have a choice to use the browser to navigate to a locator file on disk or type in the path name and the address locator name in separate fields. We recommend using the browser whenever possible, type in the path name only when you are sure of it as we do not validate the path name.

Note: Always use the browser to specify an address locator inside an SDE database.
