Process Dataset

Takes items from another dataset, applies processing operations to them and uses the resulting items.

The Processing Source dialog will be displayed:

Select the layer containing geometry to be processed.

Click Next.

Note: See Process command for all available processing operations and descriptions of the parameters required.

  • Select the process operation(s) to apply to the geometry and in what order.
  • Set the parameters for each processing operation.
  • Click Finish.
  • There is no option to specify a name for the processed dataset which will be named in the form:

Processed [Input_Layer_Name]

  • The processed dataset can be highlighted and renamed as required.
  • The processed dataset is not dynamic, ie it will not update automatically if the source dataset is altered.
  • If the Regenerate command is run the processed dataset will be completely emptied and should be recreated, regardless of whether the source data has been changed or not.
  • A processed dataset cannot be used as the input to another Process Dataset.
