data import

Feature Description

The Data Import feature provides import capabilities for over 80 common data formats, including ArcGIS format, CAD format, MapGIS format, MapInfo format, FileGDB format, Google format, Telecom format, and more. It efficiently imports data in various formats into specified data sources, achieving unified management and integration of data, helping you more conveniently conduct cross-platform data management and operations.

For supported import formats, please see the Data Import Supported Formats page.

Feature Entry

  • In the Start tab -> Data Processing group -> Data Import button.
  • In the Workspace Manager -> Datasource context menu -> Import Dataset....

Steps

  1. Click the Start tab -> Data Processing group -> Data Import button to pop up the Data Import dialog box.
  2. Click the Add button (or double-click the list box on the left) to specify the files to import in the popped-up Select File dialog box.
  3. To add folder-type data, click the Add Folder drop-down button, and select the folder type to add from the drop-down menu. Includes: File GeoDatabase Vector (*.gdb) folder, SimpleJSON Folder, Telecom Vector Line folder, Telecom Building Vector Region folder, Telecom Vector Text folder, and ArcInfoBinGrid Folder.
  4. The specified files will be displayed in the list box of the Data Import dialog box. You can add or remove specified data via the toolbar. The list descriptions are as follows:
    • Source Data: Displays the names of the files to import.
    • File Type: Displays the data type of the files to import.
    • Status: Before data is imported, the State item displays as Unconverted; if data is successfully imported, it displays as Succeed; if data fails to import, it displays as Failed.
  5. Select one or more files in the list box, and set parameters in the parameters area on the right. The parameters displayed in the parameters area differ for different types of data. For descriptions of common parameters, please refer to Common Parameters.
  6. Check the Auto Close When Finished checkbox at the bottom of the dialog box to control whether the dialog box automatically closes when data import ends.
  7. Click the Import button, and the system will batch import all data in the list box. During the data import process, the Import Progress dialog box will be displayed. If you click the Cancel button in the dialog box, the current import operation will be terminated, and the map will prompt Failed Import.
Notes:
  • Currently, only SKP data below SketchUp 2021 version is supported for import.
  • If the user selects multiple raster files or vector files simultaneously in the list box, the parameters area displays settings based on the format of the last selected data.
  • If the user selects both raster files and vector files simultaneously in the list box, the parameters area only displays common parameters.
  • After data import, the coordinate system of the dataset is consistent with the source coordinate system of the data source by default.
