ArcPad Streetmap Desktop Data Extractor allows ArcPad StreetMap users to extract data
from the Streetmap Premium dataset included with the ArcPad release. To extract
data:

-
Double click dda.exe in Streetmap Data Extractor folder on ArcPad 8 installation DVD to start
ArcPad Streetmap Desktop Data Extractor.
-
Click the Open button and browse to Streetmap Premium folder on your local
machine. Select the _navi_na.navmap file and click Open.
-
Determine which layers you wish to extract by clicking the On or Off check
boxes in the table of contents. Each layer that is checked on will be extracted
as long as there are features for the layer within the selected extent.
-
Determine the extraction area using one of these three methods:
- Map Extent – Use the Pan and Zoom tools to set the map extent defining
the area to be extracted. During extraction, all features within the
viewable extent will be clipped to that extent.
- Selected Features –Select features from one of the area (polygon) layers
by first choosing the layer from the “Select by features from:”
pull-down list. Note that only layers with area features will be listed.
Then use the Select Features tool to select features from the chosen
layer by either dragging a box or clicking on the feature. Hold down the
Shift key while clicking if you wish to click on more than one feature.
After your selection, the selected features will be highlighted, even if
they were previously not being displayed. During extraction, all
features falling within the boundaries of the selected features will be
clipped to those boundaries.
- Draw Graphic – Use the Draw Rectangle or Draw Polygon tool to draw a
graphic defining the area to be extracted. When drawing a rectangle,
click and drag a box, and then let go. When drawing a polygon, click to
define the vertices of the polygon, and then double-click on the last
vertex. During extraction, all features falling within the boundary of
the rectangle or polygon will be clipped to the boundary. Please note
that you can only define one graphic for this extraction method.
-
Click the Extract Data button.
-
In the “Select output directory” section, either type the path to the desired
output folder, or click the browse button and browse to the location. If the
folder does not exist, you will be prompted to create it. All output files from
the extraction process will be stored in this folder.
-
Click Extract to begin extracting all layers checked on in the table of
contents that fall within the defined extraction extent.
