How Can I use Capturx for ArcGIS
Keep Using Paper Maps
When you print a map from ArcGIS Desktop using Capturx
for ArcGIS, the Anoto pattern is printed under the map as a
watermark. In the eld, you create new features on the digital
paper map with your Penx by selecting items from the legend
and placing them on the map. en, when you upload the data
from the Penx, the Capturx extension interprets the digital ink
and accurately integrates those features into the ArcGIS map
on your computer.
Convert Paper Maps to Digital Maps
When you dock your Penx, Capturx creates a Review Session
containing the eld data from the Penx. ere is no need for
manual transcription of the data into the Geodatabase; Capturx
accurately geo-locates each feature.
Penx can be personalized to dierentiate input from multiple
people. Individual Review Sessions are created for each map
document and person. By selecting Sessions to view, you can
view and share the right information with the right people.
More Power to Paper with Digital Data Collection
Using Capturx for ArcGIS Desktop, you get fully digitized GIS
data from paper maps automatically. Because you don’t have to
change the way you work, you reduce the need for additional
training on data collection, importing and editing processes.
Capturx for ArcGIS Desktop can be used with any version of
ArcMap, including ArcView®, ArcEditor™, or ArcInfo®, and is
compatible with multiple data infrastructures, including personal
and enterprise geodatabases, such as ArcSDE®.

Capturx prints your ArcMap designed map
and the digital pen-enabling pattern on plain
paper up to A2 (16.5 x 23.4 inches) format.
Place any geodatabase item (points,
polylines, and polygons) in your map’s
legend to collect that type of feature.
Adding feature classes with pre-defined
attribute values makes the collection more
efficient.
To place a feature on a map, simply mark
the feature’s icon in the legend, and then
mark the location on the map.
Scribble critical information on a map with
red-line annotations. These markups are
also features.
Multiple users, each with their own Penx,
can simultaneously collect features and
markup maps.
After uploading the field data to your
ArcGIS Desktop workstation or notebook,
you can analyze each new feature. Step
through and highlight each addition, and
then make any necessary corrections to the
field data before committing the ArcGIS
Edit Session to your geodatabase.

Components of Capturx for ArcGIS
Using digital paper, the Adapx field-ready
Penx writes with regular ink as it captures
the writing digitally with an infrared camera,
image processor, memory and rechargeable
battery.
Digital paper is any paper that has been
imprinted by Adapx Software with a special
Anoto
®
pattern of almost imperceptible
dots. Many color, PostScript Level 2 or
later printers can print Adapx Digital Paper
as needed.
The Capturx for ArcGIS extension prints
ArcGIS maps on digital paper that you can
use in the field. After you have annotated
the maps, Capturx transforms the digital
ink stored in the Penx into Geodatabase
features in your ArcGIS Desktop application.
