User Settings

There are several user specific settings that are set using the Settings button found on the Lucity GIS Editing toolbar. These settings will be used anytime the user logs into the Lucity GIS extension regardless of the .mxd or machine.

Default Search Tolerance

Users can set a new default search tolerance for Lucity GIS. This is used with all Lucity GIS tools that use a search tolerance. The system default is 7 map units.

1. Click the settings button on the Lucity GIS Editing toolbar
2. In the given box fill out the default Search Tolerance. The number used will be in map units, which is based on the projection used in the map.
3. Click save.

Alternatively, the search tolerance can be changed on the fly for a specific tool in the map. This change will only last while the tool is selected.

1. While the tool is selected, push Shift + F7
2. Enter a search tolerance
3. Click OK.

Disable "Lucity will now be updated" prompt

Users can disable the editing prompt that lets them know that the Lucity editor extension is going to process the ArcMap edits.

1. Click on the settings button on the Lucity GIS Editing toolbar
2. Check the Disable ‘Lucity will now be updated’ prompt when saving edits check box.
3. Click save.

Disable Lucity Editor extension

Users can disable the Lucity editor extension. This is useful if the user never or rarely edits feature classes linked to Lucity. Having this checked will prevent the extension to become active every time they edit the geodatabase linked to Lucity.

1. Click on the settings button on the Lucity GIS Editing toolbar
2. Check the Disable ‘Lucity will now be updated’ prompt when saving edits check box.
3. Click save.

Alternatively the editor extension can be disable on the Editing toolbar. Changing it this way will only disable it for that session of ArcMap.

1. Check the Disable Lucity Editor checkbox on the Lucity GIS Editing toolbar

Note: The new settings will take effect the next time ArcMap is opened.
