All - All layers are exported as codes regardless of whether they are visible.
Target SmartWorx - Data is intended for use with SmartWorx software.
Captivate (prior 2.30) - Data is intended for use with Captivate software (versions earlier than 2.30).
Captivate (v2.30 to v7.53) - Data is intended for use with Captivate software (versions between 2.30 and 7.53).
Captivate (v8.0 or later) - Data is intended for use with Captivate software (versions 8.0 of later).
Coding Description
String Number Attribute Type a name (maximum 16 characters) for the string number attribute. Note:
  • Only required if you are using a string attribute to join points.
Line Codes If Target is Captivate (version 2.3 of later), do one of the following:
  • Select the checkbox to export a line codelist in addition to a point codelist to allow lines to be coded independently of points.
  • Clear the box to only export a point code list.
Control Codes Select a control code list. Note:
  • Only required if you are using control codes to join points, size symbols or create objects.
Lookup Tables Description
Layer Select the Layer lookup table to be used during the export.
Attribute Definition Select the Attribute Definition lookup table to be used during the export.
Notes
  • Each layer is exported as a Code to the Codelist along with its properties and attribute definitions.
  • If Target is SmartWorx the Intended Use flag for the layer determines the type of code (Point, Line or Area) created in the code list.
  • If Target is Captivate all layers are exported as Point Codes and the Intended Use configuration for the layer determines if the Linework flag is set.
  • If Target is Captivate (2.3 or later) select the Line Codes checkbox to export a line code list in addition to a point code list.
  • Only layers that have an 'Intended Use' of Generic, Lines or Polygons will have string number attribute definitions created automatically. String attributes are added to the Point code list only.
  • Codes are Truncated to 16 characters when the Target is 'Smartworx' or 'Captivate (prior v2.3)'.
  • Codes are Truncated to 48 characters when the Target is 'Captivate'.
  • Codes and attributes contained in [] in the control code definitions will be exported as free codes and attributes of the free codes.
  • Control code actions requiring parameters must have an attribute value defined in the control code definition.
  • In the field, control codes are input as free codes. Free codes should be entered immediately before the measured point that it relates to.
  • If Target is Captivate (2.3 to 7.53), you can export up to 20 attributes per code.
  • If Target is Captivate (8.0 or later), you can export up to 60 attributes per code.
