ArcMap 10.7 introduces new features and capabilities in mapping, geocoding, and the ArcGIS Network Analyst extension. 10.7 also includes changes in database and geodatabase support. These new and altered features are described in the following sections. To see the latest information on what's new, see this topic in the ArcMap web help. GeoprocessingThe following new and improved functionality is available in geoprocessing tools in ArcMap 10.7: 3D AnalystNew environment- A new analysis environment setting, the [url=]Cell Size Projection Method[/url], is available for the majority of tools in the Raster [url=]Interpolation[/url], [url=]Math[/url], [url=]Reclass[/url], and [url=]Surface[/url] toolsets. This setting determines how the output raster cell size will be calculated when datasets are projected during analysis. The default method, Convert units, is equivalent to the method used in previous releases. Two additional methods, Preserve resolution and Center of extent, are now available.
Raster Surface toolset- The Contour tool has improved performance for most polygon and polyline output.
Conversion toolboxNew environment- A new analysis environment setting, the [url=]Cell Size Projection Method[/url], is available for a number of tools in the From Raster and To Raster toolsets. This setting determines how the output raster cell size will be calculated when datasets are projected during analysis. The default method, Convert units, is equivalent to the method used in previous releases. Two additional methods, Preserve resolution and Center of extent, are now available. In the From Raster toolset, the tools are [url=]Raster to ASCII[/url] and [url=]Raster To Float[/url]. In the To Raster toolset, the tools are [url=]Feature To Raster[/url], [url=]Multipatch to Raster[/url], [url=]Point to Raster[/url], [url=]Polyline to Raster[/url], and [url=]Polygon to Raster[/url].
Multidimension toolbox- The [url=]Make NetCDF Raster Layer[/url] and [url=]Make OPeNDAP Raster Layer[/url] tools have a new parameter, Cell Registration that controls how the cells are registered with respect to the XY coordinates.
- The Make NetCDF Table View tool now has null in the output table view to represent missing_value or _FillValue attributes of a variable in a netCDF file.
Spatial AnalystNew environmentA new analysis environment setting, [url=]Cell Size Projection Method[/url], is available for a number of Spatial Analyst tools. This setting determines how the output raster cell size will be calculated when datasets are projected during analysis. The default method, Convert units, is equivalent to the method used in previous releases. Two additional methods, Preserve resolution and Center of extent, are now available. Check the list of supported environments for a particular tool to determine if it is available.
Distance toolset- The Parallel Processing Factor environment is not supported for the Euclidian distance tools.
Extraction toolset- The [url=]Extract Multi Values to Points[/url], [url=]Extract Values to Points[/url], and [url=]Sample[/url] tools have been re-engineered for better performance. The interpolation methods have also been improved for these tools.
- Image services of multidimensional data are now supported in the Sample tool.
Hydrology toolset- The [url=]Flow Distance[/url] tool has a new parameter Statistics type that determines the statistics type used to compute flow distance over multiple flow paths.
Neighborhood toolset- The [url=]Focal Statistics[/url] tool now supports the Parallel Processing Factor environment. The tool uses multiple processors when calculating statistics of the output raster for improved performance.
Segmentation and Classification toolset- The Deep Learning Model to ECD tool has been deprecated at this release.
Surface toolset- The Contour tool has improved performance for most polygon and polyline output.
MappingTwo new map projections are available in ArcMap 10.7. - Equal Earth
The Equal Earth projection is an equal-area pseudocylindrical projection for world maps jointly developed by Tom Patterson (US National Park Service, ret.), Bernhard Jenny (Monash University), and Bojan Šavrič (Esri).

The Equal Earth map projection is inspired by the Robinson projection with the difference that it retains the relative size of areas. It was created to provide an alternative to the Gall-Peters projection. Continents in the Equal Earth map projection have a pleasing appearance, shaped similarly to how they appear on a globe. The projection is appropriate for mapping global phenomena or for any other thematic world map that requires areas at their true relative sizes. Read the research paper: The Equal Earth map projection. - Peirce quincuncial
The Peirce quincuncial map projection depicts the world in a square. It was developed by Charles Sanders Peirce in 1879. In his original design, the projection is centered at the North Pole and displays the equator as a rotated square within the map. The projection is conformal except at the four bends of the equator. The ArcMap implementation of this projection maintains its conformal property on ellipsoids such as WGS 1984. [img][/img] The Peirce projection shown in square and diamond orientation
There are two orientations to choose from, square and diamond. Set the Option parameter to 0 for square or to 1 for diamond orientation.

To publish feature, map, or image services from maps that use these projections, the lowest release ArcGIS Server site you can publish to is 10.7.
DataThe following functionality changes have been made in data management in ArcMap 10.7: Databases and geodatabases
- ArcGIS 10.7 supports Oracle 18c.
- You can no longer create user-schema geodatabases in Oracle. You can continue to use and upgrade existing user-schema geodatabases at this release, but you should begin [url=]moving your data to stand-alone geodatabases[/url].
- The use of Altibase databases with ArcGIS has been deprecated.
- You cannot create a geodatabase in Microsoft SQL Server 2012 or upgrade an existing geodatabase if it resides in a SQL Server 2012 database. Upgrade SQL Server to a supported release before you upgrade your geodatabase.
ExtensionsNetwork Analyst
- The '+' and '-' operators are added to the [url=]Function evaluator[/url]. These operators can be used when setting up a function evaluator on a network dataset.
