Example

Objective

You want to export geometry from a HOB file to the WKT format.

Description

The input has features and attributes defined in the S-57 ENC 3.1 feature catalogue.

--feature-catalogue "S-57 ENC 3.1"

The input HOB file is named polygon.hob and located at D:\BatchSample.

D:\BatchSample\polygon.hob

The output file will be named ExportToWKT.wkt and located at D:\BatchSample.

D:\BatchSample\ExportToWKT.wkt

Command Line
