ABOUT THEME BROWSER:
Theme Browser is an "ArcCatalog-like" extension for ArcView 3.2 or higher that allows you to browse, search, preview and add themes just like in ArcCatalog.
BROWSE, SEARCH & PREVIEW:

CATALOGS:
* Build Standard or Image catalogs to find themes geographically rather than by filename. Load mapsheet based datasets like SDTS DLG, DRG and DEM data in a project. Use the Catalog Browser to open your catalogs and add the tiles or mapsheets contained in the catalog to ArcView. Share catalogs in a user group.
* Catalogs can be given a name, description, default projection, default legend and a default minimum / maximum display scale that will be automatically applied to themes when you load them from the catalog.
