Export Moss

(This functionality is available with the Input / Output module)

Exports data to a Moss GENIO file.

Refer also to the Export dialog box topic.

The system creates a Moss GENIO file with Format and Order statements as shown below.

001FORMAT(2F14.5,F12.5)

003,ORDR,4=1,1,2,3

The first four characters of the string and point codes are output to the Moss string header as string and point codes. If processing a file to be exported to Moss, only use up to 4 character codes. Strings without codes are given the code 'S' and points without codes are given the code 'P' .String features are output first followed by point features.

Refer also to the Moss GENIO file topic.

If the LISCAD Database contains text elements, a dialog box is used to specify the scale factors that are to be applied to LISCAD Ground and Plan text to create the appropriate Moss unitless text sizes.

If a lookup table is used to change the feature codes, the resultant moss file retains the 'Original' feature code in the header of each string group (basically a comment). The modified codes derived from the lookup table is in the actual string definition in the line following this header line.
