All Implemented Interfaces:

GPTool

public class QuickImport
extends AbstractGPTool

Converts data in any format supported by the ArcGIS Data Interoperability extension into feature classes. The output is stored in an interim staging geodatabase. The geodatabase can then be used or further post-processing can be performed. The Quick Import tool is contained in the Data Interoperability Tools tool box.

Software restrictions: none

Usage tips:

• This tool is used to either bring data into the ArcGIS environment, or as the beginning point in a model or script where data from outside ArcGIS will be processed.
• The feature classes generated depend on the input data. For instance, if you import two MapInfo MIF/MID files, two features classes will be created.
• This tool creates a new personal geodatabase, and will not append to an existing one.
• The feature classes generated from the imported data can be accessed using the Select Data tool on the output staging personal geodatabase.
• As data is imported, no changes to the data model are made. To transform the data model during import, a Custom Data Import Tool should be created and used.
• Individual feature classes from the staging geodatabase can be operated on using the Select Data tool.
• Bezier curves are not maintained when using Quick Import.
• No environment settings affect this tool.
