SDTS Topological Vector Profile [.TVP] Import Automation Options

Because the Import Options dialog is not displayed when the program is driven from an automation script, an options string can be specified in the script. The string consists of comma-separated parameters, which specify the behavior of the various import options. A typical example would be:

 "Defaults=1,AreasToCurves=1"

This would first set all import options to their default values, then set the AreasToCurves option value to one, which would specify that any areas imported be converted to curves (lines).

Option Action Default
AreasToCurves Convert all polygons to polylines  
WhichLines=0 Import all lines  
WhichLines=1 Import freestanding lines  
WhichLines=2 Import no lines  
WhichNodes=0 Import all nodes  
WhichNodes=1 Import no nodes  
WhichAreas=0 Import all areas  
WhichAreas=1 Import no areas  
WhichText=2 Import all text  
WhichText=1 Import no text  
WhichText=m Import specific text group as index into m_Reader's list of text groups
