Dxf - linework
Shape - Feature type
GDB - database file for GIS
-
Customer client templates not supported with GDB downloads - Client templates in dxf = template schema in GDB
-
Only available for 2d bundle and A-La-Carte 2d layers
-
Blocks will always be converted to points in the GDB - layers that use blocks including MH, CB, Poles, Hydrants, will just be described with one point in GDB at centroid of each block
-
The supported attributes attached to each feature are shown below. Note all attributes are truncated to a precision of 1 decimal place
-
Lines: (Length)
-
Polygons: (Area, perimeter, outer perimeter)
-
More to come

-
CRS inside tif is required to generate a GDB
-
Tif CRS must be in an imperial / metric unit. Arc degrees are not supported. This means CRS's like WGS and WGS84 will cause issues
-
GDB format does not support arcs so the arcs in our dxf linework will be replaced by very short polylines
-
Polygons might be generated for some pavemark layers rather than polylines.
-
The current shapefile download from the app doesn't incorporate nested polygons the same way the GDB generation does. As such, I would recommended to promote GDB's to be used instead of shapefiles when possible as it will likely be a better and more accurate deliverable in terms of handling cutouts.
