KOF-specific Notes
To successfully export to KOF, you need to map attributes from the model to the KOF format so that the data sent goes to the correct columns.
Note: The minimum required attribute is “FeatureCode” with a feature code value.
«FeatureCode» - This is the key attribute to set up. The name must be “FeatureCode” followed by a number value for what the exported geometry represents. You can map from an attribute value in the model or you can add the value in the conversion file. The attribute name must be written in upper and lower cases, as described below.
«PointID» - If you want to add a point ID to the geometry, you must add the attribute “PointID” followed by a value. You can map from an attribute value in the model or you can add the value in the conversion file. The attribute name must be written in upper and lower cases, as described below.
Note: If you have any notes to add to the geometry, you can add the attribute “Note” followed by a value. You can map from an attribute value in the model or you can add the value in the conversion file. The attribute name must be written in upper and lower cases as described below.
To add an attribute, you must select the attributes page for each feature in the drop-down list. In the right table, select the row with “kofAttributeList” and add a name in the cell in the blue Name column. Then you can map an attribute by selecting attributes from the cell in the green Object attribute column; if it has a sub-attribute, select the sub-attribute from the green column Name. Or you can add a value in the cell in the blue Standard value column. (this will override a mapped value).
To add a new attribute list, select the row where you have “kofAttributeList” and click Add attribute in the upper left corner above the attribute table.
