Step 2: Selecting The Destination File
The destination le holds objects and data converted from the source le. Unlike the source le, it is selected
from within the Convert dialog. To select a destination le, press the Save As button in the Destination group. A
standard Save As dialog appears. Specify the full name and extension of the destination le in the Save As dialog.
The destination must be a new le with one of the Save as types. Therefore, existing les may not be selected.
Once you have entered a lename, press the Save button. The destination le you specied appears in the
Destination group. In addition, the “Object Combo” box and Template group are activated. In (Figure 36) we have
selected Spring 99-DAP.arm as the destination le. As can be seen, the “Object Combo” box and Template group
are no longer grayed out.
Step 3: Selecting The Type Of Objects To Convert
Both Shapeles and Fieldware les contain objects such as Points, Polylines, and Polygons. Where Fieldware
les such as the GMF or BND le can contain several object types per le, Shapeles are limited to just one type
per le. Therefore, when we convert Fieldware les to or from Shapeles, we must convert one object type at
a time. For example, suppose we have a BND le containing Boundary Polygons, Polylines, and Points. Let’s
assume that we wish to convert this le to a Shapele. Given that the Shapele can only hold one type of object,
we must specify whether we want to pass it Boundary Polygons, Polylines, or Points. We select which type of
object to transfer via the “Object Combo” box. The “Object Combo” box provides a list of available Fieldware le
objects for us to choose from. If the source le is a Fieldware le, the “Object Combo” box contains the list of
objects in the Fieldware le. If the Fieldware le is the destination le, the “Object Combo” box contains the list of
objects accepted by the Fieldware le which may be attained from the Shapele. When you select a destination
le, the “Object Combo” box activates and presents you with a default object type. If the type is not acceptable,
select one of the other object types from the “Object Combo” box’s list. When you select a new object type, the
template list is updated to reect the list of available templates matching the type. In (Figure 36), we have chosen
to accept the default (and only available) object type: Prescription.
