Intergraph MGE Reader Parameters

Select ODBC, Access MDB or Oracle.

If you select Access MDB above, specify the Access MDB file.

If you select ODBC above, enter the ODBC datasource that points to your MGE database. Depending on your database, you may also have to enter a username and password.

If you have installed ODBC drivers (which typically happens when you install Microsoft Access or another database), you can set up ODBC data sources using the ODBC option in your Windows Control Panel.

If you select Oracle above, enter the name of the Oracle service. Depending on your database, you may also have to enter a username and password.

Enter the username and password to access the service.

Click the Browse button to select tables for export. You may only select this after you’ve completely specified the database connection.

After you click the Browse button, a search window appears while the system compiles a table list from the database. Once the table list appears, you can select one or more tables, and then click the OK button to dismiss the window. The table name(s) will appear in the table list field in the Reader Parameters box.

Identifies the name of the feature table. Use this field only if you have a feature table with a name other than feature.

Identifies the name of the feature table. Use this directive only if you have a category table with a name other than category.

Check this box if you want the cells expanded into separate features.

When checked, unnamed cells are output, but the cell header itself is not output. In this case, donut polygons will not be formed from member shape elements. All member elements will retain their original colors. If it is not checked, then the cell is not exploded into its components and only the cell header is output. Donut polygons may be formed if multiple intersecting polygons existed.

When checked, outputs the insertion point of the unnamed cell.

The UORs read from the design file will be converted into master units, according to the conversion factor defined in MicroStation's termiinal control block (TCB), before being stored in an FME feature. This is the default.

The UORs read from the design file will be converted into subunits, according to the conversion factor defined in MircoStation's TCB, before being stored in an FME feature.

The UORs read from the design file will be stored directly in an FME feature, with no conversion.

Check this box if you want each component of a complex chain to be returned as its own feature and no feature will be returned for the complex chain as a whole. Otherwise all elements of the complex chain will be merged into a single linear feature, any arcs in the complex chain will be converted into linestrings and any linkages on the component elements themselves will be lost.

Check this box if you want the linkages attached to the first component of the complex chain to be returned on the FME feature, supplementing any existing linkages. Otherwise any linkages on the component elements themselves will be lost and only those linkages attached to the complex chain itself will be returned.

When selected, splits the multi text.
