Type Conversion Overview

Type Conversion provides the function of converting five types of data: point, line, and plane. Line data can be converted to plane data, plane data can be converted to line data, line data can be converted to point data, point data can be converted to line data, and plane data can be converted to point data.

The conversion of CAD, composite data and simple data includes three aspects, the first is the conversion of CADData to simple data, the second is the conversion of simple data to CAD data, and the third is the conversion of CAD to Model Data.

The Network Data transfer function can extract all network arcs in the Network Dataset to generate a new Line Dataset.
The Network Data Transfer Point function can extract all network nodes in the Network Dataset to generate a new Point Dataset.
The Route Data transfer function can generate a new Line Dataset from all LineMs in the Route Dataset.

The function of converting field to text will convert the content of a certain field in Dataset to Text Dataset. Map annotation can be realized through this function.
The function of converting text to field adds the Text Info in the Text Dataset to its property sheet. You need to specify the field where the Text Info is saved after conversion.
The function of converting Text to point data can extract the anchor point of Text to generate a new Point Dataset.
The function of converting attribute data to point data can specify the field values in the attribute table as X and Y coordinate values and create corresponding point objects accordingly, thus generating one or more Point Datasets.

With Type Conversion, you can convert a 2D Dataset (point, line, surface) to a 3D Dataset (point, line, surface). The resulting 3D Data has elevation information based on the specified Elevation Field.
Type Conversion lets you convert a 3D Dataset (point, line, surface) to a 2D Dataset (point, line, surface). The 3D elevation information field is automatically removed during the conversion process.
