Import SHP

Instructions for use

ArcGIS Shapefile (*.shp) is a data format specific to ArcGIS software, used to store 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 use, without the need for other data format conversion operations, improving data management efficiency.

Parameter description

Parameter Name Parameter Interpretation Parameter Type
Select File Enter the path information of the data to be imported. String
Character Set Select the character set type of the file to be imported, with ASCII as the default. Charset
Result Datasource Specify the datasource where the result dataset is stored. Datasource
Result Dataset Specify the name of the resulting dataset. String
Group Supports importing data into a specified group; if no group is selected, data is imported under the datasource. String
Encode Type Specify the encoding type of the dataset to be generated. EncodeType
Import Schema Set the import mode when datasets with the same name exist. ImportMode
Import Null Dataset Used to set whether to import an empty dataset, default is unchecked. 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 whether this checkbox is checked or not. Boolean
Import 3D Dataset If checked, the Z values from the source data are retained after import, importing as a 3D dataset; if unchecked, 3D data is imported as 2D data. Default is unchecked. Boolean
Create Spatial Index Set whether to create a spatial index for the imported dataset, default is checked. If checked, a spatial index will be created for the dataset according to the supported index types, improving the efficiency of spatial queries and data access. Boolean
Import Attributes Used to set whether to import attribute information, default is checked. If checked, attribute data is imported along with spatial data; otherwise, only the geometry is imported without attributes. Boolean
