You can compose new compound UOMs (such as
pounds/acre) by separating UOMs in the list with a ‘/’.
Pressing the “/ (Per)” button adds the ‘/’ for you. If you
make a mistake, you can simply click the Clear button
or erase the text in the “Unit Of Measure” edit box.
When you select OK, your UOM is passed to the Unit
Of Measure setting.

Under some circumstances, the Field Transfer
dialog’s appearance undergoes some changes. One
such circumstance arises when we set the source
field’s name to or .
and are special
user-defined fields. They do not exist in the source
file object. If you set the source field name to
, the source field’s Type setting is
replaced by a Value setting, (Figure 42). The Value
setting is a string or number that is passed to the
specified destination field for each object written to
file. If you set the source field name to ,
the source field’s Type setting is replaced by a First
Number setting. As its name implies, the First Number
setting represents the counter’s starting value. Each
time the counter value is transferred to the specified
destination field, it increments by one. For example,
if we were to set the First Number to 2, the specified
destination field would receive a 2 for the 1st object, a
3 for the 2nd object, a 4 for the 3rd object and so on.
The Field Transfer Dialog also undergoes a change
when dealing with Fieldware prescription fields. As can
be seen in (Figure 43), two additional settings must
be configured for prescription fields. The two extra
settings are Product Type and Product Name. Product
Type takes the form of either a combo box or a text box
(can’t edit). If a combo box is present, you may select
the type of product being applied. Product Name takes
the form of either an edit box or a text box (can’t edit).
If an edit box is present, you may enter the name of the
product being applied.
Templates are a complex, yet powerful tool. Creating
templates takes some practice. However, once you get
the hang of it, you should be able to perform an almost
limitless array of Fieldware/Shapefile conversions.
