"These extensions have saved
our region tens of thousands of dollars in data conversion, manipulation
and editing time....The first thing I do every morning, after
coffee, is initiate ArcView with theEngine and then count my blessings
for finding it when I did. I can truly say it has been a career
booster......My boss has been ecstatic. Using ArcView, theEngine/EV8, and
some other scripts I have accomplished more in 6 months than the last
GIS person did in two years; contracting out 0% as opposed to about 30%
of the work. Progress and money savings" Scott Miller, GIS/MIS Manager, Boise Cascade Corp |

| Clever tools to speed up your daily work, and clever functions to solve your worst headaches. From powerful CAD-like editing, to double precision 'clean and build', to batch geoprocessing, there are literally 100's of operations to enhances ArcView or ArcGIS with. That is why most users run it every day as standard practice. This site covers only a few of them. en Francais. |
For our products in Japan: 
... Once I started using theEngine this (ArcView) frustration went away and I very rarely have a need to use Arc/Info. The time saving and ease of use utilities alone will pay for the software let alone the additional data editing and creating capabilies you will gain without having to become an Avenue programmer...
...I can recommend theEngine without hesitation...
...It enables me to be as efficient in arcview as someone in arcinfo without knowing all the line codes. Also I believe the scripts in the engine to be superior to other program available, freeware or payware, for example I have compared the buffering capabilities in Xtools to theEngine and the results speak for themselves.The engine always provides a better result...
...An opportunity became available to work on a project originally designed for ArcInfo, however the cost and training involved prohibited us from incorporating ArcInfo GIS. We then sought alternative solutions ... The solution to our needs, and cost limitations existied in theEngine. It was perfect for both the added functionality it supplies to ArcView, and as a effective tool for dealing with CAD file incorportation into ArcView...
... The polyline2polygon script that comes with arcview could not handle the complex polylines that I had. The CAD files are of parcel maps and my customer wanted to be able to query his maps according to the parcel area. The solution that I finally got to work was a extension called "theEngine".This thing is a God send. It took all my CAD files in and spit out nice pretty polygons. Another tidbit of information is that I tried to use the geoprocessing wizard to combine the parcel numbers with the parcel polygons in AV....IT DID NOT WORK! theEngine did...
... I recommend to people that for the price of AV3.2 and theEngine, you can achieve a lot of GIS processing and analysis for a real reasonable cost. The limits are primarily the limits of your creativity and your equipment....
...I am an "Engine" user. This extension has been beneficial to our company and clients with the respect to streamlining our GIS projects. We primarily use the "Engine" for processing spaghetti line work into Topologically correct data and database generation. I would recommend "theEngine" to anyone who uses ArcView.It is an essential tool in any day to day operation of a GIS department...
... one of the GIS analysts here, uses theEngine regularly and is quite happy. We found that it is quite a powerful took and provides us with 90+% of the functionality of ArcINFO at a small fraction of the price...
...My experiences with the ArcView extension 'theEngine' are positive only. As a mid-sized civil engineering, planning and architectural company we are dealing with GIS projects of different sizes. 'theEngine' delivers us very effective tools for the fast data assembly of our ArcView GIS projects...
...We sell an electric utility application/extension for ArcView in which theEngine is an integral piece for the editing of facility and landbase themes...
...I took a polygon with known errors of duplicate nodes, bowties, and overlapping polys and realized that an ordinary building of polygons takes care of this automatically. I am always amazed with your great product!..
