Configuring A Field Transfer
Figure 4-25 shows the Field Transfer dialog. Use this dialog to configure a single field transfer. The
left side of the dialog defines how to transfer a source field to the destination field, shown on the
right side. Each field setting, on the left, is followed by an arrow button, and a matching field set-
ting, on the right. When the arrow button is active, you can use it to transfer the contents of the left
setting to the right. Pressing the Copy button, at the bottom of the screen, is equivalent to pressing
all of the active (not grayed out) arrow buttons.
Use the top pair of settings to define the names of the fields. These settings may take the form of a
combo box or an edit box. If a combo box is present, you can select one of the names from its list.
The list contains all the names located in, or compatible with, the field. If an edit box is present,
type in the name of the field. Figure 4-25 shows ELEVATION selected as the source field's name
and ALTITUDE selected as the destination field's name.
The second pair of settings define the field's types. These settings either take the form of a combo
box or a text box (can't edit). If a combo box is present, you can select the type to associate with
the field. This affects how the program writes the field to a file, when it performs the conversion. If
a specific TYPE appears in the box on the left, it is best to chose the same for the box on
the right. Figure 4-25 shows Double as the destination field's type.
The final pair of settings assign units of measure to the fields. These settings either take the form
of a combo box or a text box (can't edit). If a combo box is present, you can select the unit of mea-
sure that the program should store the field in. Take care selecting a unit of measure. If the field
defines a name, or some other non-numeric value, specify
don't know the field's unit of measure, select
automatically performs all necessary units of measure conversions. Therefore, it is important that
