Version 2.0.10
Build: 14.12.2007
- 'Extended data' (fields) support is added

Version 2.0.9
Build: 23.11.2007
- Description field is added at kml/kmz importing
- Small bug's fixed

News:
- Problems with 'Z-Service' and 'Shooting on a route' commands are fixed (!)
- metadata tags is added to output KML file
- supports Superoverlay projects creation now directly from your ArcMap project.
- For PRO version only: 'Create overlays' function supports Superoverlay projects creation now directly from your ArcMap project. You should only download and install Superoverlay 1.7.x or later and use your KMLer Pro license to obtain Standard 'Superoverlay' version.
IMPORTANT ! Doesn't supports specific image formats such as GeoTIFF and etc. yet
- Raster rotation support is added
- Import from KML command supports GE GroundOverlays now (New raster datasets (layers) are added to project. Rasters are transformed in according to GroundOverlays 'LatLonBox' and 'Rotation' tags)
- <TimeStamp> & <TimeSpan> support for vectors and overlays.
- Import of the Placemarks styles into ArcGIS as attributes
- Geoprocessing. Quick frame export
- JScripts, VBscripts and expressions in Labels and Descriptions
- Save and load all KML parameters as XML file
- KML 2.1 tags for vectors and rasters (superoverlay) layers
- Radiogroup and Hidden children type in folders
- Hightlight markers styles
- Collada with scale factor by attribute

For installation ArcGis 9.x and Net 2.0 is required

Download version for ArcGis 9.2 and Net 2.0

Download version for ArcGis 9.1 and Net 2.0

Download the last version for ArcGis 9.0 with SP3 or later. Last version is KMLer 1.4.0.

Note: The software requires decimal separator to be "." (point). If your system is set for "," (comma), you need to change this setting. Open Control Panel > National settings > ....

Quick frame export

Convert all layers (vectors, rasters, TINs) of current frame into Google Earth *.kml or *.kmz files with same styles. You can output visible layers only and use Markers and Labels scale factor.

Export to KML

Convert vector layers into Google Earth *.kml or *.kmz files.
Symbol style (fill color,outline color, outline width e.t.g.) of the selected layer is stored to created KML. In case you use the categories legend (unique values, graduated colors) corresponding style is applied to each object.
Note: KMLer works with current selected layer. If more than one layer is selected, it works with the first selected layer.

Google Earth file path set path, name and type (kml or kmz) of output file.
Option Convert each object as a placemark. Enable only for line and polygon geometries. If this option is checked, Placemark is created for each geometry object, otherwise the multigeometry placemark is created. All visible fields are added to baloon. All data are adapted for the use into GE Plus and Pro. Its support "Apply Style Template...". For lines and polygons additional label placemarks are created automatically.
Option Distribute features using a categories legend. Enable, if the selected layer has a class legend (unique value renderer or class break renderer). If this option is checked, placemarks are distributed to folders, according to current class legend with same style.

From Label field, containing list of visible fields, you select placemark labels.

Group Add to description. Adds additional parameters to each placemark baloon.
Option Search link. Adds Google Search link to a placemark baloon.
Option Maps link. Adds Google Maps link to a placemark baloon.
Option Feature class metadata. Enable only for imported from Google Earth feature class. Adds string to description from metadata.

Extrude options contain altitude mode list and define how Z values will be set.

Attribute field select from numeric visible data fields.

Option Open in Google Earth. Automatically opens data in Google Earth and zooms to it.

Import from KML

Convert data from Google Earth vector files to ArcMap layers. Supports multiply import of *.kml and *.kmz files to *.shp files or geodatabase. Creates a feature class for each found schema and geometry type. Adds all attributes to new created feature class. All data from baloon stored as additional tag of metadata. Stores last output location.

Create overlays

Create overlays from checked rasters. You can stored rasters into KMZ or make absolute path.

Export screen Saves current screen of ArcMap data view as overlay with coordinates. Opens overlay in Google Earth.

Import screen Import current Google Earth screen shots as grayscale raster. The envelope of a new raster is stored to current ArcMap project as graphics.

Navigation
Set view in GE Zooms Google Earth to current ArcMap view. Free function.
Get view from GE Zooms ArcMap to current Google Earth view. Free function.

Z level. Get matrix of points from terrain.
Creates vector grid of 3d points from current view of Google Earth. Z values calculates from terrain data of current view.

Z-service. Return Z values for current feature class from GE Terrain. User can set a percent of loading and altitude's range ("Eye altitude") of a view.
Flash presentation

Shooting on route.
Screens. Import of rasters (GE screenshots) along a route.
Terrain points. Get matrix of the 3d points from terrain along a route.
