CONVERTING FILES USING MAP MANAGER

Map Manager contains a le option named Convert, which provides a means of transferring data between

Fieldware data les and ESRI Shape les. Convert was designed to be both exible and simple. It allows

beginning users to perform conversions in ve simple steps, while offering advanced users full control over the

data transfer process. To better understand how the Convert option works, we will examine the steps required to

convert a le. Later we will show how Convert may be used to perform custom data transfers.

The File Conversion Process

The le conversion process can be broken into the following 5 steps:

1. Select the le you wish to convert (the source).

2. Select the le you wish to convert to (the destination).

3. Select the type of objects you wish to transfer between the source and destination.

4. Select a template describing how the objects should be transferred.

5. Convert the le.

Each of these steps is discussed in greater detail below.

Step 1: Selecting The Source File

The source le contains data you would like to convert to a different format. Select the source le from Map

Manager’s main window. To select a source le, simply open the le using Map Manager’s “File|Open” option

or Map Manager’s le tree. You may open/view Swath XL/GuideLine les, Fieldware les or Shape les (.shp)

within Map Manager. Shape les must be in NAD83 or WGS84 Lat/Long coordinates. No

other projections or datums are supported. ESRI shape les consist of .shp, .shx, and

.dbf les, all sharing the same le name. Shape les appear as simple line drawings in the Map

Manager Map. If you choose to open multiple les, the current le (layer) is used as the source le. After selecting

a source le, choose the “File|Convert” option. In (Figure 34), a prescription le named Spring 99-DAP.arm has

been selected as the source le and the “File|Convert” option is being selected. When the “File|Convert” option

is chosen, the Convert dialog is presented. Your source le’s name appears in the dialog’s Source group and the

source le’s image appears in the dialog’s Map (see Figure 35).
