Background
PowerStructure allows you to build databases within ArcView exactly as you want them, with complete control over field structure and data value formatting. Whether you are creating a new database or restructuring an existing one, PowerStructure provides the tools to clean up any type of vector theme layer or database type that ArcView supports. 

Screen shot>>

PowerStructure can process multiple data layers at one time in batch mode, combining data from external databases like a tax assessment role, and perform any number of database formatting tasks, including calculating acre values, with just a few clicks. Once a structure for the output database is created, its template can be saved to a file that can be reloaded again in the future, providing a convenient and efficient method for updating data files whenever the external databases are modified.

PowerStructure includes the data formatting functionality of PowerCalc, an easy-to-use interface for performing all types of numerical and string transformations. With PowerCalc, you can generate unique or random numbers, perform trigonometric functions, convert units, format dates, and extract, replace, or combine characters from any field type. For example, you can extract just the month from a date field, or combine an address with its 4-digit ZIP add-on number. Data is seamlessly translated when calculating a field from the values in a field of a different type. And best of all, PowerCalc lets you preview your field calculation results so you donВ’t end up wasting time with improperly constructed calculation statements.

Features

  • PowerStructure eliminates the obstacle that prevents users from changing field types, sizes, names and order.  See screen shot>>
  • Restructure tables and format data values in one step.
  • Build databases with the exact structure you want, even bringing in data from external tables like tax assessment roles, address lists and forest recon surveys. Future updates are a few clicks away.
  • Saves time and ensures consistency by creating a reusable data structure template, complete with field calculations and joined table references-everything! Templates can be shared by others.
  • Standardize your data by downloading predefined database templates here.
  • Cleans up improperly formatted data by performing numerical and string transformations with an easy-to-use interface. Seamlessly translate data between field types.
