The File Geodatabase Standards Tools were developed to help in applying the GeoBC File Geodatabase Standards. Please refer to the GeoBC File Geodatabase Standards document for further information about these tools and the standards they help enforce.
The FGDBStandardsTools.tbx toolbox contains all the tools. Source scripts for these tools are contained in their individual folders.
Requires ESRI ArcInfo licensing & ArcMap 10.0+.
Use the Issues tab to get help or report any issues.
CheckFGDB - Checking/Reporting Tool
This tool inventories the contents of a file geodatabase reporting out into text file a summary of the entities and their properties. The output reports consists of two sections. The first section contains a consise summary of the entities found within the geodatabase. The second section contains detailed information about each entity.
CreateFgdbAndDatasets - Create New File Geodatabase with Feature Dataset Tool
The Create New File Geodatabase tool is a shortcut to create a new FGDB with a feature dataset in the BC Albers projection and the specified XY tolerance. If the geodatabase already exists, the script will continue and create the new feature dataset within it.
ApplyDefaultTopology - Apply Default Topology Tool
The Apply Default Topology tool creates a new topology element in the indicated feature dataset, applies the standard generic topology rules to the selected feature classes, and optionally validates the topology to find errors. Users may wish to edit the topology element afterwards to apply additional more specific topology rules afterwards.
CloseOutFGDB - FGDB Project Close-out Tool
The FGDB Project Close-out tool is used to close-out a FGDB once a project is complete. It compacts the geodatabase, compresses the geodatabase, re-calculates the spatial indexes of feature classes, runs the Check Geometry command, and (optionally) runs the Repair Geometry command.
PrepareFeatureClassForDistribution - FGDB Publication/Distribution Tool
The Publication and Distribution tool prepares individual feature classes for publication and/or distribution by copying them to their own geodatabases that conform to the publication standards. The tool puts selected feature classes each in their own FGDB named the same as the feature class name, compresses the new FGDB, and (optionally) zips the FGDB giving it a name .gdb.zip.
