A Bentley Map Mobile Converter custom configuration file can be used to produce Bentley Map Mobile files for your organization's specific needs.
The Bentley Map Mobile Converter opens one or more design and reference files, processes each graphical element, creating Bentley Map Mobile feature instances, map layers, categories, view thumbnails, full-text search indexes and more using data conversion settings defined in an XML configuration file based on this "XML Schema Definition (XSD)" with the following general format:
Following are descriptions of data conversion settings that can be defined in
a custom configuration file, then specified on the
MapMobileConverter.exe command line using the --config-file= option.
This required section defines element search criteria and feature creation
settings. The
<Features> element
that may contain one or more
<feature>
child elements
which define conversion settings used to
create Bentley Map Mobile features from Bentley Map or MicroStation data. As
elements in the input design or reference file(s) are processed, the
<feature>
conversion settings are evaluated from top to bottom, with the first conversion
setting that matches the specified search criteria being applied. Therefore, the
more restrictive search criteria should be specified higher in the list.
The
<Features>
element may include the optional
geospatialSchema="C:\MyProjectPath\MyBentleyGeospatialAdministratorSchema.xml"
attribute to load feature name, alias, category,
zoom_min and zoom_max settings
from a Bentley Geospatial Administrator schema XML file.
Please refer to the "MicroStation Element Selection" section of the "Default Configuration File" for basic information.
Also, when defining
<feature>
elements for MicroStation element conversion, an optional
<Symbology>
child element can be used to refine element search criteria as illustrated in
the following:
Please refer to
<Symbology>
element in the "XML
Schema Definition (XSD)" for more information.
Please refer to the "Bentley Map XFM Feature Selection" section of the "Default Configuration File" for basic information.
When defining
<feature>
elements for Bentley Map XFM feature conversion, an optional
<Properties>
child element can be used to define which business properties are included as illustrated in
the following:
Please refer to
<Properties>
and
<property>
elements in the "XML
Schema Definition (XSD)" for more information.
When defining
<feature>
elements for MicroStation element conversion, an optional
<OverrideSmbology>
child element can be used to change element symbology as illustrated in
the following:
Please refer to
<OverrideSymbology>
element in the "XML
Schema Definition (XSD)" for more information.
An optional
<Views>
element with
<View>
child elements can be used to create named view thumbnails.
An optional
<SpatialFilters>
element with
<View>
or
<Range>
child elements can be used to define spatial filters to limit which data is
processed.
Many data conversion settings support the use of both built-in element and user-defined variables.
The following built-in element variables can be used in any attribute value
when defining
<feature>
element attribute values.
$(Element.Level)
$(Element.Color)
$(Element.Weight)
$(Element.Style)
$(Element.Cellname)
For example, some of the following
<feature>
element attributes use the built-in element variables to define feature names and categories.
An optional
<Variables>
element with
<Variable>
child elements can be used to create user-defined variables for use in supported
data conversion settings.
When referencing user-defined variables, use $(VariableName)
syntax such as illustrated in the name="Text_$(Element.Level)", zoom_max="$(50k)"
and color="$(OverrideColor)"
attributes of the following:
An optional
<Options>
element can be used to define MapMobileConverter.exe command
line options in a custom configuration file.
Please refer to the "XML Schema Definition (XSD)" section for further details on supported configuration file settings.
