Instructions for Using the GenScn Map Extension for ArcView

The GenScn Map Extension for ArcView provides a menu option for
exporting a View to a GenScn Map File. This extension is designed
to be used by someone familiar with ArcView wishing to set up
GenScn. It allows a user to set up GenScn without manually
building the Map File in a text editor. The user must first set up
the View as desired, and then the user can use this extension to
save that View to a GenScn Map File.

This extension is provided in a file called 'GenScnMap.avx'. 
This file must be copied into the ArcView extension folder on 
the user's pc, usually named something like
'\esri\av_gis30\arcview\ext32'. The extension is accessed from
within ArcView through the 'File-Extensions' menu option. Select
the GenScn Map option from this list, and click Ok. A menu item
called 'Export to GenScn Map' will be added to the 'View' menu.

After setting up a map in a view as desired, select the
'View-Export to GenScn Map' menu option. A file dialog will appear
for specifying the file name to which to save the new GenScn Map
file. Within GenScn, this map file may be specified through the
'File-New' or 'File-Edit' menu options.

This Extension has the following limitations: Only shape files are
included in the map file. Text labels are not saved with the map
file. Rendered shape files will not appear as rendered in the map
file. Also note that once in GenScn the user must specify the
GenScn 'Key Field' in order to connect the features of a shape
file with the location identifiers in the timeseries data files.
