To export drawing objects to GML
1 In the Tool-based Ribbon Workspace, click Output tab ➤ Map Data
Transfer panel ➤ Map 3D Export.
2 In the Export Location dialog box, select the GML (Geography Markup
Language) file format and a location for the exported files.
3 In the Export dialog box (page 1704), specify how to export objects. To use
settings that you stored previously, click Load and select the profile
containing the settings.
4 On the Selection tab, specify the objects to export.
■ To select a subset of objects, click Select manually and choose either
Select Objects or Quick Select.
■ To filter the selection to export only objects on specific layers or in
specific classes, specify the layers and classes to include.
■ To export polygons from a polygon topology, select the topology.
■ To preview the objects that will be exported, click Preview Filtered
Selection.
5 On the Data tab, click Select Attributes and select the data to export with
the objects.
TIP If you are exporting data from an external database, you can export the
entire record from the database or just the key fields. Because the key field
values are stored in the map, choosing the key field (listed under Link
Templates) makes the export faster.
6 On the Options tab, select the options you want.
■ To perform a coordinate conversion, you must have a coordinate
system
assigned to the map (page 147).
■ Check Treat closed polylines as polygons (if it is available) unless you
want only polygon objects to be exported as polygons.
7 Click OK to begin the export process.
