[GIS] Why is toolbox of ArcGIS Editor for OpenStreetMap not in ArcToolbox

arcgis-editor-osmarctoolboxopenstreetmap

I'm using ArcGIS 10.0 and I tried to install ArcGIS Editor for OSM (version 2.0) on ArcGIS

But I couldn't make my ArcToolbox list the tools that ArcGIS Editor for OSM should've installed.

Any ideas about that?

OpenStreetMap tools doesn't appear in ArcToolbox

Best Answer

This is from the ArcGIS Editor for OSM documentation:

"4.In the ArcCatalog window, browse to the directory where you installed ArcGIS Editor for OpenStreetMap (e.g., C:\Program Files\ESRI\OSMEditor) and the data folder. Doubleclick on the Download, Extract, and Symbolize OSM Data model. "

For some reason they chose to leave it there rather than placing its toolbox in ArcToolbox. To make it appear and remain in ArcToolbox at 10.0 use Add Toolbox, browse to find it, and then Save Settings > To Default.
