Geometry mapping, such as converting area features to point features or point features to text features, can be applied using one of these methods:
• <ConvertGeometry/> tag in regular mapping files
• batch conversion through a geometry mapping file.
Sample rule files for both geometry options are available in ~\CARIS\HPD\<version>\Modules\support\Compilation2\Rules\Examples
• Geometry_Mapping_Examples file contains examples of <ConvertGeometry/> in mapping files
• Features_from_Edges_Mapping_Example contains an example of a geometry mapping rule file.
The sample file, Feature_from_edges_mapping_example.xml shows a new instruction type: BatchProcessingRuleFile.
This new instruction is not compatible with feature mapping rule files that were previously released with the instruction, ObjectToObjectConversionTable (e.g. ih_f2o.xml, GIS_2_PCC.xml, etc.).
This means that you must only use the Feature_from_edges_mapping_example.xml file for processing edges from other features to create new line or area features using the Tools > Import Selected Objects.
