Step 5: Converting The File
Before converting the file, we should discuss the “Remove Layer From Map” check box located in the Source
group and the “Add Layer To Map” check box located in the Destination group. These settings determine what
happens to the source and destination files after the conversion has completed and the Convert dialog is removed
from the screen. The “Remove Layer From Map” check box specifies whether the source file (the current layer)
should be removed from the Map Manager map. The “Add Layer To Map” check box specifies whether the
destination file should be added to the Map Manager Map. If both boxes are checked, as in (Figure 36), the
source file is replaced by the destination file as Map Manager’s current layer.
You are now ready to press the Convert button and set the data transfer in motion. Once the button is pressed,
the Info bar begins displaying status information. If a problem is encountered, an error message is presented. If no
error occurs, the Convert dialog is removed from the screen and the Map Manager map is updated. (Figure
37) shows: (a) Spring 99-DAP.arm was converted to Spring 99-DAP.shp; (b) Spring 99-DAP.arm was removed
from the Map Manager map; (c) Spring 99-DAP.shp was added to the Map Manager map.
