#NCGMP09 Tools for ArcGIS
This directory contains an ArcGIS toolbox and associated scripts for creating, manipulating, and validating NCGMP09-style geologic map databases. See the Docs folder for more information.
For more information on the NCGMP09 database schema, see http://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Info/standards/NCGMP09/
To install this toolbox, either
- unzip (if necessary) and place the folder NCGMPToolbox in a locale of your choice. Start ArcCatalog or ArcMap, open the Arc Toolbox window, right click on empty space in the Arc Toolbox window, and select "Add Toolbox". Then navigate to the NCGMPToolbox folder and select the file NCGMP09v1.1_Toolbox1_Arc10.0.tbx.
Right-click again on empty space in the Arc Toolbox window and select "Save settings" and then "Default" to have the NCGMP09 toolbox available next time you open ArcCatalog or ArcMap.
or,
- place the CONTENTS of the folder in your Documents and Settings folder, within C:\Documents and Settings<user>\Application Data\ESRI\Desktop10.0\ArcToolbox\My Toolboxes (this is the pathname in Windows XP; it may differ with other operating systems). Then, in ArcCatalog, scroll to the bottom of the left-hand "Catalog Tree" pane, open Toolboxes/My Toolboxes, and the new toolbox should be present.
