Append a line
Function Description
Implements appending data from one or more Datasets to another.
Applicable Dataset: point/line/region/text/CAD/model Dataset, Tabular Dataset. Network/Route Dataset append is not supported.
Function entrance
- Data tab-> Data Processing-> Vector-> Append Line.
- Toolbox-> Data Processing-> Vector-> Append Line.
- In Workspace Manager, select a Dataset and drag it directly to another Dataset, or select multiple Datasets and drag them to another Dataset. The Append Line dialog box pops up.
Parameter Description
- Target Dataset: Select the target Dataset to append, which can be an existing Dataset or a newly created Dataset manually for appending.
- Source Data: Select Source Dataset, that is, the Dataset providing data. The Dataset in the list box can be edited through the toolbar button. Click the Add button to pop up the Select dialog box, through which you can select the additional Dataset. Here, you can add one Dataset as the source data, or add multiple Datasets at the same time.
- Create New Fields：Set whether to retain other fields in the source data。 During the append row, all fields that exactly match the Target Dataset are retained. Create New Fields is used to set whether the fields that exist in the source data but do not exist in the Target Dataset are reserved. Select Create New Fields and keep it, otherwise keep only the fields that match in the Target Dataset. For example, the Target Dataset NewDataset1 has the field F1, the Source Dataset NewDataset2 has the field F2, and the other fields are identical. In the case of Create New Fields, the result of appending the row is that both the F1 field and the F2 field exist in the Target Dataset; Without Create New Fields, the result of appending the row is that only the F1 field exists in the Target Dataset.
- Keep material with the same name: Used to set whether to keep the material with the same name in the Model Dataest data. In The process of appending data, if the source Model Dataest has a material with the same name as the target Model Dataest, select the Keep same name material . The material with the same name in the target Model Dataest is retained after renaming; If the Keep same name material is not selected , only the material in the source Model Dataest is retained, and the material of the same name in the Target Dataset is deleted.
Caution: - Target Dataset is CAD Dataset, and Source Dataset can be point/line/region/text/CAD Dataset; Target Dataset is Tabular Dataset, and Source Dataset can be point, line, surface, text and CADVector Dataset; When the Target Dataset is of other types, the Source Dataset must be of the same type as the Target Dataset to perform this operation. For example, the Point Dataset must be appended with the point data.
- When the operation Dataset is a point, line, surface, or text, the Geometry of the Source Dataset is also appended to the Target Dataset. When the operation Dataset is a property sheet, only the property sheet is operated on.
- For SQLPlus Datasource, if there is data in Target Dataset and Mapsheet Index is created, it is recommended to manually delete Mapsheet Index from the newly generated Dataset after appending. Rebuild。
