Export Map Groups to Surpac String File

Use the EXPSURPACSTR GX to export selected map groups to a Surpac STR file.

Export Map Groups to Surpac String File

Surpac string file

Enter the name of the Surpac STR file. Attributes will be written to a file with the same name, but with the extension "ssi". Script Parameter: EXPSURPAC.FILE

Application Notes

The GX begins by listing the groups available for export from the current view in the current map. Only those groups which are checked as visible (even if they are not currently visible in the map window) are selectable. You may select any number of groups for export.
If the map groups are not from the view you want to export, reset the current Data View using the Select View Mode option on the Map Manager toolbar.
The next step is to pick a name for the output file:

• If only one group is selected, the file name defaults to the map name, with the group name appended.

• If more than one group is selected, the file name defaults to the map name with the "str" file extension.

Each individual line, polyline or polygon object is exported to the STR file. Text or symbols are not exported. The group name from which each item comes is written out as the first attribute for the first point in each item.
