v2.7.8

In Make Poly tool, added check for contacts with the same MapUnit on either side. Note that with all error and change checks you might get unexpected results if the topology is not clean. However, you can't run the tool if there is a topology class in place because of the way that MapUnitPolys gets replaced. If starting with existing polygons, make sure the existing topology is good, delete the topology, and run the tool. If starting from contacts and label points, use snapping and don't build self-overlapping or self-intersecting lines.

v2.7.7

Completely re-built Make Polygons tool.

Can be run in two modes:

• simple, for speed when doing a lot of line editing and you want to see changes quickly.
• reporting, for the creation of feature layers to help you find multiple label points, polygons where MapUnit is null, and polygons where MapUnit has changed.
