6 Under Data Expressions, you can create expressions as follows:
■ Use the Key option to define an expression to act as the link between
the SDF file and a field in an external database.
■ Use the Name option to define an expression for the SDF Name field.
■ Use the URL option to define an expression to act as a URL (Uniform
Resource Locator).
To create an expression using data attached to the object, such as object
data, external data, attribute data, or property values, click… to select
from a list of available data and properties.
NOTE When exporting a map to SDF format, if you use an expression that
references a SQL value, the export process will require a large amount of
swap space. It may be necessary to partition your data into smaller sections.
7 Under Coordinate Conversion, select Convert To. To specify a coordinate
conversion as part of the file export, enter the coordinate system code.
8 Under Other, select Create Key Index File (KIF) to create a KIF file along
with the SDF file.
9 To save your settings as a profile, click Save.
10 Click OK to begin exporting the data.
