Options

The following properties allow control of the export.

Content	If there are objects selected then only selected objects are exported. Displayed - If no objects are selected then only visible objects are exported. All - If no objects are selected then all objects are exported regardless of whether they are visible.
Use Unique Id as Name	Select whether the Unique Id of the point should be used as the Point Id in the export.
Curve Tolerance	Enter the maximum offset distance from a line to the chord between adjacent vertices in the line. Use this value to control the smoothness of circular arcs and splines that need to be output as straight line segments.
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

Only point objects are exported.
The layer of a point is exported as its Code.
Layers with the 'Intended Use' set to Lines or Polygons have objects of that type export as a sequence of points. This enables the objects to be recreated by processing feature codes.
Point, line and polygon attributes are exported with the relevant points.
If Use Unique Id as Name is not selected and a point does not have a Name attribute, then the Unique Id will be used as the Point Id in the export.
Clear the Allow multiple checkbox for every attribute definition to ensure only a single instance of an attribute is inserted for each object.
