really good 1 improvement, would be to make the window always on top. i.e. above the ArcMap window. or perhaps even the ability to dock it within the ArcMap app?

Nice idea but limited at moment   posted by rappleby on Oct 09, 2009 7:22 AM

Thanks for this - It would be very useful if you could select another numeric field (rather than just area).
