Data Import

Feature Description

The Data Import function provides import for over 80 common data formats, including ArcGIS format, CAD format, MapGIS format, MapInfo format, FileGDB format, Google format, and Telecom format. It can efficiently import multiple different formats of data into specified data sources, enabling unified management and integration of data, helping you perform cross-platform data management and operation more conveniently.

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

Feature Entry

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

Operation Steps

  1. Click the Start tab ->Data Processing group ->Data Import button to open the Data Import dialog box.
  2. Click the Add button (or double-click the list box on the left). In the Select FileDialog Box that appears, specify the files to import.
  3. To add folder-type data, click the Add Folder drop-down button, and select the folder type from the drop-down menu. The options include: 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 using the toolbar. The list description is as follows:
    • Source Data: Displays the names of the files to import.
    • File Type: Displays the data types of the files to import.
    • Status: Before data is imported, the Status column shows Unconverted; if the data is successfully imported, it shows Succeeded; if the data fails to import, it shows Failed.
  5. Select one or more files in the list box, and set parameters in the Parameters area on the right. Different types of data display different parameters in the Parameters area on the right. For common parameters, please refer to Common Parameters.
  6. Check the Auto Close When Finished check box at the bottom of the dialog box to control whether the dialog box automatically closes when the data import is complete.
  7. Click the Import button. 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 Import failed.
Precautions:
  • If the user selects multiple raster files or vector files simultaneously in the list box, the Parameters area will display settings according to the last selected data format.
  • If the user selects both raster files and vector files simultaneously in the list box, the Parameters area will only display common parameters.
  • After data import, the coordinate system of the dataset defaults to the same as the coordinate system of the data source it belongs to.
