ArcGIS 10 SP 3 released

 

Service Pack 3 for ArcGIS 10 was released today and as usual I am picking some of the issues fixed and posting them here. SP 3 is a big one with 443 fixes for Desktop and only 25 for Server.

Here are the issues I have picked from the bunch.

Desktop

• NIM004239 - Hillshade tool with model shadows option produces artifacts when used with low altitude values.
• NIM008882 - After copying and pasting a legend the copy loses custom legend settings.

I’ll have a look at issues addressed in ArcSDE soon and I’ll post them here.
