Setting Up A Field Transfer Template
In (Figure 39) we see the “Field Transfer Template”
dialog. This dialog is used to set up a eld transfer
template. At the top of the dialog is the “Template
Name” edit box. Templates should be given a unique
name which identies the type of conversion they are
meant to handle. In (Figure 39), the template has been
named “Point to SHP”, identifying that this template
should be used for Fieldware Point object to Shapele
object conversions.
Below the “Template Name” edit box is the Field
Transfer list. This list contains the eld transfers or
mappings that will be performed between the given
source le and destination le objects. The elds of the
source le object are presented in the list’s left-hand
column and the elds of the destination le object are
presented in the list’s right-hand column. In (Figure 39),
we are mapping the Fieldware Point object’s NAME
eld to the Shapele object’s SHP_NAME eld and
the Fieldware Point object’s ELEVATION eld to the
Shapele object’s ALTITUDE eld.
The New, Edit, and Delete buttons to the right of the
Field Transfer List are used to change the entries in
the list. To create a new eld transfer, press the New
button. You are presented with the Field Transfer dialog
(see “Conguring A Field Transfer” on page 37). To
delete the current eld transfer (the transfer currently
highlighted in the list), press the Delete button. You are
presented with a message box that asks you to conrm
the delete. If you are sure you want to delete the
transfer, press the Yes button. Otherwise press No. If
you wish to edit the current eld transfer, press the Edit
button. You are presented with the Field Transfer dialog
(see “Conguring A Field Transfer” on page 37).
Several buttons in the Field Transfer Template dialog
only appear if you are transferring elds from an
Fieldware le to a Shapele. The Up/Down Arrow
buttons allow you to change the order of eld transfers
in the list. The order of the transfers determines the
order in which elds are written to the Shapele. In
(Figure 39), the SHAPE_NAME eld precedes the
ALTITUDE eld in the resulting Shapele. The Copy All
button copies all the elds in the Fieldware le object to
the Shapele object. Press this button if you want your
Shapele object to contain an exact copy of the elds
in the Fieldware le object.
