GIS Export
Export STK object data into a shapefile
Syntax
GIS <ScenarioPath> Export "<ShapefilePath>" {ShapeType} [Object <ObjectPath> | ObjectWithOption <ObjectPath> objectOption] ... [{ExportOptions}]
Description
The Export GIS command exports perimeter and location information in an STK object to a GIS-compatible shapefile. The "<ShapefilePath>" is the full directory and filename of the shapefile you wish to create. {ShapeType} can be Point, Arc, Polyline or Polygon. Use {ShapeType} to determine the type of data extracted from STK object files and placed in shapefiles. You also need to specify the object(s) from which you wish to export data using the <ObjectPath> parameter.
"<FilePath>" can be the path to a file on your local drive or the path to a file on an SDF server. See Specifying Paths for "<SDFFilePath>" syntax information.
| {ShapeType} | Can Create... |
|---|---|
| Point | A shapefile containing the selected STK facility, place and target points. |
| Arc | A shapefile containing the selected STK vehicle's tracks. Only one object can be specified when exporting an Arc. |
| Polyline | A shapefile suitable for Comm contours and other shapes that are not necessarily closed. Also supports area targets, line targets, facilities, and selected vehicles. |
| Polygon | A shapefile containing the selected STK area target polygons. Also can create a shapefile from the AzEl Mask of a facility, place or target. |
The following table describes the valid {ExportOptions}.
| {ExportOptions} | Description |
|---|---|
| IncludeAltitude | Include this option to have the Z (altitude) values exported in the shapefile. |
| TimeStep <Step> | Enter the time step in Connect time units. The step must be between 0.001 and 86400.0 seconds.
The TimeStep option is valid for Arc shapes only. |
The ObjectPathWithOption parameter is only valid if the ObjectPath is a Figure of Merit object path. The objectOption must be either Static or Animation.
