Function entrance

• Start tab-> Data Processing drop-down menu-> Data Export.
• Context Menu of Manager- > Dataset or Datasource- > Export Dataset in Workspace.

Operation steps

1. Click the Home tab-> Data Processing drop-down menu-> Data Export button to bring up the Data Import dialog.
2. Click the Add button in the toolbar, or double-click the Dataset cell in the list box. On the left side of the pop-up Select dialog, the All Data source of Current Workspace is listed. The list on the right side of the dialog box lists the name and type of the All Data set in the selected Datasource. You can select one or more Datasets and click the OK button to add the files to be exported from Current Workspace to the data list.
3. All the added data will be displayed in the list box on the left side of the Data Export dialog, and you can add, remove, or collectively modify the attributes of the Export Dataset with the aid of the toolbar above the list box. The list box is described as follows:
   • Dataset: shows the name of the Dataset to be exported.
   • Export Type: The system will automatically identify the format of Export Type according to the selected Dataset Type. You can also click the Drop-down Button of the Export Type item to select other data formats in the drop-down list;
   • Result File: The name of the exported File, which is the same as the Dataset Name by default. You can also rename the Export File by double-clicking the column. Select the Dataset to be renamed. Click the Result File item or the F2 key on the keyboard, and the Result File becomes editable. You can enter a new File Name as the exported File Name.
   • Export Path: displays the default path of Data Export, and users can also Change the export path of Dataset: select the Dataset to modify the export path, and double-click the Export Path item. You can Change the Export Path of the Dataset in the pop-up Browse Folder window. Note: If the exported Unexisted path, the program will automatically create the Target File folder.
   • Overwrite: This check box is used to set whether to overwrite or not to overwrite an existing Dataset with the same name if a file with the same name already exists under the Export Path. If the check box is checked, the existing file with the same name will be overwritten; if the check box is not checked, the file will not be exported.
   • Status: Before the data is exported, the Status item is displayed as Not Exported; if the data is exported successfully, it is displayed as Succeeded; if the data is not exported successfully, it is displayed as Failed.
4. You can select one or more files in the list box and set parameters for Export Data in the Parameter Settings area on the right side of the Data Export dialog. The parameter items that can be set in the Parameter Settings area on the right are different depending on the format of the selected data to be exported:
   • Export Vector Data: including exporting to SHP, CSV, DWG, Excel and other Vector Data, the parameters to be set are as follows (the parameters that can be set for exporting different Vector Data are different, and the details are subject to the actual operation):
