Does MOLE support the entire MIL-STD2525B library?

Yes. MOLE supports all 5 appendices of MIL-STD2525B, including the recently published Change 1 additions.

Does MOLE support the NATO APP6a standard as well?

Yes. MOLE now supports APP6a symbols.

I have an application I want to use 2525B symbols in. Can MOLE help?

Yes. MOLE has a fully documented and supported API. You can find standard ArcObjects developer help and developer samples in Java, C++, and DotNet included with the MOLE installation.

Does MOLE work with my existing data?

MOLE can use any supported ArcGIS vector format data that meets a few minor schema requirements (like a Symbol ID code field). There is a geoprocessing tool included with MOLE that will add the required fields automatically.

We are starting to use ArcGlobe. Can MOLE work in 3D?

Yes. MOLE works in ArcGlobe, an application within ArcGIS 3D Analyst. Force Elements are positioned on callout lines and billboarded (always facing the viewer) and Tactical Graphics are extruded. The user has control over how this appears in ArcGlobe.

I have an ArcEngine application I would like to deploy. Do I need anything special to deploy MOLE with my application?

No. You may use and deploy MOLE with your ArcEngine application at no additional charge.
