of columns. For example, if you want to tile the export into a grid of 8 rows each 4 tiles across, you
would use GRID_TYPE_ROWS_COLS="8,4".
• GRID_OVERLAP - specifies how much to overlap tiles when gridding an export into multiple tiles.
This is a percentage value from 0 to 100 and only applies when on of the GRID_TYPE_* parameters
is used. For example, to make your grid tiles overlap by 5% of the grid tile size, use
GRID_OVERLAP="5.0". The default value is 0.0, meaning that the tiles do not overlap.
• GRID_NAMING - specifies how to name tiles when gridding an export into multiple tiles. The value
should be SEQUENTIAL for sequential numeric naming starting at 1, SEPARATE for separate prefix
appending by row and column, or SEPARATE_COLS_FIRST for separate prefix appending by
columns and rows. For the SEPARATE options, use the GRID_NAMING_COLS and
GRID_NAMING_ROWS parameters to specify the details of how to name the rows and columns. If
no GRID_NAMING parameter is supplied, the last selected grid naming options selected in the user
interface will be used.
• GRID_NAMING_COLS - specifies how to name the column portion of grid cell names when using
the GRID_NAMING=SEPARATE or GRID_NAMING=SEPARATE_COLS_FIRST parameter. The
value of this field is a comma-delimited list with the following field values:
♦ Naming type. Can have the following values:
◊ NUM - name using numbers in ascending order
◊ NUM_REVERSE - name using numbers in descending order
◊ ALPHA - name using letters in ascending order
◊ ALPHA_REVERSE - name using letters in descending order
♦ Starting value for numbering or lettering (i.e. '1', or 'A').
♦ Prefix string to use before the numeric or alphabetic value.
♦ Step value for numeric naming (default is '1')
You can leave values blank if they don't apply or you want to use the default. As an example, to do
numeric naming starting at the number 100, increasing by 10 each time with a prefix of DEM, you
would use GRID_NAMING_COLS="NUM,100,DEM,10".
• GRID_NAMING_ROWS - specifies how to name the row portion of grid cell names when using the
GRID_NAMING=SEPARATE parameter. See the documentation for the GRID_NAMING_COLS
parameter above for details on the format.
• GRID_NAMING_PREPEND_ZEROES - specifies whether or not to prepend zeroes to the start of
grid column/row names. Use GRID_NAMING_PREPEND_ZEROES=NO to disable the prepending
of zeroes.
• GRID_NAMING_SEPARATOR - specifies the separator string to use between pieces of a grid name.
The default is an underscore.
• GRID_CREATE_FOLDERS - specifies that a separate folder should be generated for each row (or
column if GRID_NAMING=SEPARATE_COLS_FIRST is specified) of the export rather than
placing every output file in the same folder.
• GEN_3D_FEATURES (DGN and SHAPEFILE only) - specifies that 3D line and point objects should
be created in the exported file. Set this to YES to cause the the 3D features to be generated. Leaving
out this parameter or setting it to anything but YES results in the normal 2D objects. The elevation
stored for each vertex/point will be the first of the following that is available:
♦ The elevation associated with the vertex/point in question.
♦ The elevation associated with the entire area/line/point being exported. For example, the
elevation of a contour line or spot elevation.
♦ The first elevation obtained by searching the loaded elevation layers at the position of the
vertex/point.
A value of 0.0 will be used if no elevation could be obtained via any of the prior methods.
• COORD_DELIM (SIMPLE_ASCII only) - specifies the delimeter between coordinates in coordinate
lines
♦ COMMA - coordinates are separated by commas
