Condition String
Select Strings | Utilities | Condition String to clean and prepare strings and polygons prior to wireframing. This function complements the interactive Condition String tool on the String | Edit Tools menu and the Vizex right-click menu.
File
Select a file type and double-click to select an Input file. If required, define a filter to selectively control the records to be processed.
East, North (and Z) fields
Specify the names of the fields in which Easting, Northing, and (optionally) Z coordinates are stored in the Input file.
Join field
In forms that require polylines as an input, the values in this field define whether the data points in the input file should be joined by a line. If successive records have the same value in this field, a line will join the points. If two-factor topology is required, the values in a String field may also be used to segment the lines.
String field
In most forms, the String field is an optional generic attribute used to store a secondary input such as a code. Traditionally, this field has also been used with the Join field to define whether data points should be joined by a line, or strung, hence the name.
