All Implemented Interfaces:

GPTool

public class VPFImport
extends AbstractGPTool

Converts a VPF table to an INFO table, or converts either an untiled VPF coverage or VPF tile to an ARC/INFO coverage. The Import From VPF tool is contained in the Coverage Tools tool box.

Usage tips:

• Full VPF pathnames must be specified with the Input VPF Coverage or Table.
• Pathnames are specified as vpfDatabase\vpfLibrary\vpfCoverage or vpfDatabase\vpfLibrary\vpfCoverage\vpfTile when using the Coverage option.
• Pathnames are specified as vpfDatabase\vpfLibrary\vpfTable when using the Table option.
• If the VPF coverage was created using the Export To VPF tool with the option to convert all tables selected, then the Output Coverage will be identical to the Input VPF Coverage.
• VPF coverages with multiple linear feature classes will be translated into coverages with route subclasses. Multiple area feature classes will be converted to region subclasses. Text, connected node, and point feature classes will be translated into INFO tables that can be related to the appropriate coverage Feature Attribute Tables. Complex feature classes will also be converted to INFO tables.
