Limitations


The following limitations are contained in the version 1.2 of the GISconnector. Here you can find a description of these limitations and a solution. We will remove most of these restrictions in the course of making updates for the GISconnector for Excel.
 
Limitation
Solution
If the text size of the Windows operating system is greater or smaller than 100 %, an unreadable display of the Excel toolbar can result in certain dialogues of the GISconnector for Excel.
Solution
Set the text size under System control -> Display and adjustment -> Display to 100 % (Standard)
ArcGIS layer with joined tables can not be exported to Excel.
Solution
Currently, the Export from ArcGIS to Excel operates on the basis of feature-classes, not on the basis of layers. For this reason, it is currently still necessary to export the layer, including its joined table, into a new feature-class and then export this to Excel, or to remove the connection or join, respectively.
The version ArcGIS 10.0 is not supported
Solution
Currently, only an upgrade to ArcGIS 10.1 can help. ArcGIS 10.0 compatibility is expected to be achieved shortly through updating.
