This operation is required to choose the columns of the selected attribute file that will be used to derive the X and Y coordinates of the data, and ensure correct georeferencing. Import Settings dialog box: In order to import point data with MAPublisher the parameters must be set by clicking the Settings’ button. File types supported are Text (txt), Tab Separated (tsv) and Comma Separated (csv) files. MAPublisher also supports the import of Delimited Text Data held in a variety of tabular file formats, as long as the data contains coordinate values. Certain symbols may import as "exploded" objects in MAPublisher.

Annotation objects are converted to a point containing attribute information including the text value to be labeled and its angle. Note the hierarchy of layers in multi-feature imports is by feature type: text layers, then point, then line, then area layers. Prior to import, set the colour mode of the Adobe Illustrator document to the same scheme used in the colour table of the CAD file (RGB or CMYK) to ensure colours are imported correctly. MAPublisher provides broad support for many AutoCAD entity types and options. AutoCAD files consist of drawing settings and configurations, as well as a series of entities, or graphic elements, organized into layers. Logically, both files are identical and MAPublisher treats both file types in the same manner. Two formats are used by AutoCAD: DXF (drawing exchange format) files and ASCII representations of the binary DWG (drawing) files. These file types are most commonly created by Autodesk AutoCAD product, though other computer-aided design (CAD) programs such as Bentley MicroStation capable of creating them. ĪutoCAD Drawing (dwg) and Drawing Exchange (dxf) See detailed specifications in Section 8.3 at. It is an open specification developed and maintained by Adobe Systems. The geospatial PDF is considered an Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (following the PDF 1.7 specification) that contains information that is required to georeference location data.
