The metadata table must be in geodatabase format.

As shown in the figure below, these should be a double field type (that is, double-precision floating-point number).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/downloads.esri.com\/MappingCenter2007\/blog\/Sept16Images\/metadata-table.png\" alt=\"Metadata table example\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With <a title=\"Create Envelopes script tool\" href=\"http:\/\/www.arcgis.com\/home\/item.html?id=21ae615be9394890b8ec3de192e0a697\" target=\"_blank\">this tool<\/a>, you can set the coordinate system to be used for the bounding coordinates. This is a very important step because if incorrectly defined, the envelopes won&#8217;t line up with the edges of the map. For example, geographic coordinates at the corners of a US Geological Survey (USGS) topographic map, as shown at the upper left in the figure below, may use a NAD 83 datum, as shown in the middle of the figure. This information is generally displayed on authoritative maps such as topographic maps in a national map series. For other maps it may be harder to determine and a trial-and-error basis may be required to lead to the correct definition.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/downloads.esri.com\/MappingCenter2007\/blog\/Sept16Images\/datum.png\" alt=\"Setting the coordinate system\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When <a title=\"Create Envelopes script tool\" href=\"http:\/\/www.arcgis.com\/home\/item.html?id=21ae615be9394890b8ec3de192e0a697\" target=\"_blank\">this tool<\/a>\u00a0is finished running, the output feature class is added to the map.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/downloads.esri.com\/MappingCenter2007\/blog\/Sept16Images\/envelopes-added-to-map.png\" alt=\"Envelopes added to the map\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If necessary, the rectangular features can then be modified into more complex shapes using the standard editing tools.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/downloads.esri.com\/MappingCenter2007\/blog\/Sept16Images\/edited-envelope.png\" alt=\"Edited envelope\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Create Envelopes script tool\" href=\"http:\/\/www.arcgis.com\/home\/item.html?id=21ae615be9394890b8ec3de192e0a697\" target=\"_blank\">This tool<\/a> was developed to support the workflow associated with creating historical map collections and sharing them online.
