Importing DVOF sources

The Ancillary Source Loader imports features from various National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) sources into feature classes in a geodatabase.

The Ancillary Source Loader can import different formats of DVOF files. There are two preexisting formats that come with Defense Mapping. Other formats can be added by updating the ancillary.mdb located in the Defense Mapping installation directory.

The feature classes can be created in a new or existing geodatabase.
