ArcView Export

The ESRI Shapefile has become a de-facto standard which is supported by most GIS applications and therefore has become the main exchange format to exchange entire objects, not only coordinates.

Define for the Export to ESRI shapefiles which properties shall be exported in addition to the coordinates. Enter the name of the folder, in which the exported shapefiles shall be written, the default setting is the name of the situation.

In a tree structure all object types contained in the situation are listed, for each object type all in SoundPLAN entered  attributes are listed as the next level. By double clicking on the object or clicking on the object „+" sign the tree structure is opened up and displays all details.

Double clicking on an attribute assures that this parameter will be exported. The objects and attributes defined for the export are displayed in the window on the right hand side.

Field names in the Shape files can only be 10 characters long. As SoundPLAN truncates the names the identifiers can become unreadable. Press F2 to enter a meaningful label but observe that neither spaces nor special characters may be part of the label.

You can store and load the selections and settings either for the project or in the global context.
