Import SHP

Instructions for use

ArcGIS Shapefile (*.shp) is a data format specific to ArcGIS software, used for storing spatial data and attribute data, and is a commonly used vector data format. The Import SHP tool is used to import *.shp data into the SuperMap iDesktopX datasource for direct use, eliminating the need for other data format conversion operations, thereby improving data management efficiency.

Parameter description

Parameter Name Description Parameter Type
Select File Enter the data path information to be imported. String
Charset Select the character set type of the file to be imported, default is ASCII. Charset
Result Datasource Specify the datasource where the result dataset is stored. Datasource
Result Dataset Specify the name of the result dataset. String
Encode Type The encoding type of the dataset to be generated. EncodeType
Import Mode Set the import mode when a dataset with the same name exists. ImportMode
Import Null Dataset Used to set whether to import empty datasets, unchecked by default. If the dataset to be imported is empty, this checkbox must be checked to import it; otherwise, it will not be imported. If the dataset to be imported is not empty, it can be imported regardless of whether this checkbox is checked. Boolean
Import 3D Dataset If checked, after import, the Z value in the source data is preserved, and it is imported as a 3D dataset; if unchecked, 3D data is imported as 2D data. Unchecked by default. Boolean
Import as Multipoint Dataset If checked, after import, the multipoint data in the source data is preserved; if unchecked, multipoint data is imported as simple point data. Unchecked by default. Boolean
Import M Value If checked, after import, the M value in the source data is preserved; if unchecked, the M value in the source data is lost after import. Unchecked by default. Boolean
Create Spatial Index Set whether to create a spatial index for the imported dataset, checked by default. If checked, a spatial index is created for the dataset according to the supported index types, which can improve spatial query and access efficiency of the data. Boolean
Import Attributes Used to set whether to import attribute information, checked by default. If checked, attribute information is imported along with spatial data; otherwise, only spatial information is imported without attribute information. Boolean
