Exporting results to ESRI ArcMap format

You may want to create a copy of the network with results in ESRI ArcMap Geodatabase format. This could be used to send files to another user, or for conversion to a different GIS package not supported by InfoWorks WS Pro.

You must have ArcMap installed on your machine.

There are two types of result that can be exported:

• Maximum results
• Results at a specific timestep

Maximum results

To export maximum results to ESRI ArcMap Geodatabase format:

1. Right-click the simulation results in the Model Group window or Explorer window.
2. Choose Export | Maximum Geodatabase from the context menu.

   This will display a standard Select Geodatabase dialog.

3. Choose the destination Geodatabase you require.

   The GIS Export dialog is displayed.

4. Select options on the GIS Export dialog.
5. Enter a name to be used for the feature data set.

   This name will also be used as a prefix for feature classes.

6. To export an MXD file, check the Create MXD file option.
7. Browse for a folder or specify a path for the export file in the File box.
8. To continue, click OK.

The results tables are now exported. Dialogs will be displayed to show how the export of each type of object is progressing. A feature data set containing a feature class of each exported object is created.

Note: You cannot create a new Geodatabase using the standard Select Geodatabase dialog. If you want a new Geodatabase, you will have to create one in advance.

Results at a specific timestep

To export results at a specific timestep to ESRI ArcMap Geodatabase format:

1. Right-click the simulation results in the Model Group window or Explorer window.
2. Choose Export | Time varying Geodatabase from the context menu.

   This will display a standard Select Geodatabase dialog.

3. Choose the destination Geodatabase you require.

   The GIS Export dialog is displayed.

4. Select options on the GIS Export dialog.
5. Enter a name to be used for the feature data set.

   The timestep will be appended on export.

   This name will also be used as a prefix for feature classes.

6. To export an MXD file, check the Create MXD file option.
7. Browse for a folder or specify a path for the export file in the File box.
8. To continue, click OK.

   The Set Timestep dialog is displayed.

9. Choose the timestep for which you want to export results.
10. To continue, click OK.

The results tables are now exported. Dialogs will be displayed to show how the export of each type of object is progressing. A feature data set containing a feature class of each exported object is created.

Note: You cannot create a new Geodatabase using the standard Select Geodatabase dialog. If you want a new Geodatabase you will have to create one in advance.
