Dexie Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 When I import Ordnace Survey shape files, each map tile brings in data as a separate record. So I end up with Record Formats eg. Road_LineRec, Road_LineRec-1, Road_LineRec-3 etc. All roads, Motorways through to Private Drives are present to all records. Is there either a way of merging the records so that there is only one comprehensive record covering all map tiles. OR An easy way of producing a script that picks up the FEATCODE for each road category for each of the map tiles bearing in mind I have 30 tiles in this one project. Quote Link to comment
Miguel Barrera Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 It might be easier to merge the shape files in Arcview and then import to VW. The alternative would be a script to merge them in VW Quote Link to comment
Dexie Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 I dont have Arcview. I would just like to add the information that is imported with one set of shape files to the data file imported with a second set of shape files. The data is for a road categories: Motorway Primary Routes A Roads B Roads Minor roads etc.. I am going to try and export each data file to Text Edit, and copy and paste the data to into one file an then try to re-import it and see what happens. Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Try importing only one OS file per drawing. Then copy & paste each tile into the master. Quote Link to comment
Dexie Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 I have been doing that, or referencing the individual tiles in but it is a bit long winded because what I need to do is select each road with a script SelectObj(('Road_LineRec'.'FEATDESC'='Primary Road')); Then allocate that object to a Class. If I could do this in one drawing if would be far quicker especially if I have 10 different map tiles. Quote Link to comment
