Have you ever wondered what is the equivalent ArcGIS desktop command for an ArcInfo workstation command? Have you ever wondered what the equivalent python command is for an AML function or Directive?
The Geoprocessing team has created the following glossaries to allow workstation users find corresponding ArcGIS Desktop commands. In many cases the mapping of functionality and commands between Workstation and ArCGIS Desktop is straight forward and obvious. Sometimes, however, finding the corresponding Geoprocessing tool in Desktop is not straight forward and obvious, and these glossaries are a helpful resource for those of you that are using workstation in conjunction with Desktop.
Workstation to Desktop Glossaries:
- Core ArcInfo Commands to Desktop
- GRID Commands to Desktop
- GRID Functions to Desktop
- AML Functions to Python
- AML Directives to Python
In addition to these glossaries, in 9.4, you will be able to use the new search functionality with Arcmap to search for Workstation commands and the corresponding Geoprocessing tool will be returned if there is a match. These glossaries will be used as a source for populating the keywords to ensure the search mechanism is as accurate as possible.
Keep in mind; we recognize that these glossaries do not show every alternative for workstation functionality within Desktop. As a result, we will continue to update these documents and if you have suggestions or alternatives, please let us know.
