The Import Map Data preference category allows users to sort the order of the attributes columns upon import. By default, attributes are imported in the same order as in the source GIS data file and the MAPublisher #Property attributes are created in front of the imported attributes (see MAP #Property attributes for additional information).
Imported layers will be added |
Set to Above all, Above the selected, Below all, or Below the selected layer. |
Attribute sort on import |
Set to Do not Sort to maintain the order of the attributes of the source GIS file. Set to Order attributes alphabetically to apply this new ordering. |
Path corners |
Set to Miter, Round or Bevel join. |
Path endings |
Set to Butt, Round or Projecting cap. |
Property disposition on import |
Set to Move properties to start or Move properties to end. |
Show full filename in Multiple Data Import data list |
The Multiple Data Import data list shows the list of selected files for import. By default, only the file name is displayed. Check this option to display the full path. |
Show extents in Multiple Data Import data list |
Check this option to display the data extents (lower left and upper right corners coordinates). |
Set imported layer selection colour to match feature colour |
When map data is imported, the type of layer (e.g. area) determines the Adobe Illustrator layer selection colour (e.g. red) |
Convert RGB Black to 100K Black (CMYK documents only) |
Allows users to import GIS features that are in RGB Black (R=0, G=0, B=0) to 100K black (C=0, M=0, Y=0, K=100). This setting is only applicable to CMYK documents and works with all import formats except the following:
|
Append feature type as suffix on imported layer names |
By default, the feature type is appended to the layer name (e.g. '_area' or '_point'). Clear this checkbox to prevent this behaviour. |
Ensure imported layer names are unique |
By default, MAPublisher appends a number 1, 2 etc... to an imported layer name if the layer name already exists. Clear this checkbox to prevent this behaviour. |
Show extended information (e.g. extensions) in Format drop-down list |
By default, the Format drop-down list in the Import and Multiple Data Import dialog boxes shows the format extensions (e.g. [*.shp]). Clear this preference to not display format extensions. |
Remember last used file format |
Remember the last used imported file format. Clear this preference to make the Format drop-down list default to Auto-detect. |
Import Geospatial PDFs |
Check this option to enable the ability to import geospatial PDF documents. |
