Import Dataset

Imports data in other formats to AvisMap format in a batch mode.

Procedure

1. Choose Dataset > Import Dataset. The Import Data dialog box will display.
2. Click the Add button or double click the list box; the Open dialog box will display. Specify the name and location for the file to be imported in the dialog box.
3. Set parameters of the data to be imported. You can also click the Advanced button to set advanced parameters.
4. Click the Import button, then the dataset will be batch loaded.

   After the operation, you can see whether you have succeeded in importing data in the status list of the list box. The Output Window will also show whether the data has been imported.

Notes

• When adding ArcInfo Coverage, you may just specify the folder of the data. And you can select several folders at the same time.
• Because it will cost more time to import a ECW file, when adding a ECW file, a message box will pop up to suggest you to create a new ECw file, but not import it.
• As it is not recommended to import ECW files, the ECW files will not be listed in the Open dialog box even when you choose All Formats in the File Type lsit box. The ECW files will only be listed when you choose ECW File as the file type.
• Please make sure of the enough disk space if it is really needed to display a ECW image in the map window.
