A.KML file is a text based file composed of Tags similar to.XML or.HTML. KML files can also be converted to a.KMZ file. The differences between.KML and.KMZ is that a.KMZ has been compressed. You need to open your DWG in AutoCAD or another CAD software program and export it as DXF before ExpertGPS Pro can convert it to KML. You can copy and paste data from Google Earth back into ExpertGPS, convert to DXF, and then import into your CAD. DXF coordinates are always without dimensions so that the reader or user needs to know the drawing unit or has to extract it from the textual comments in the sheets. The PDF combines three technologies: A subset of the PostScript page description programming language, for generating the layout and graphics.

Convert Dwg Dxf To Kml Free Downloads - 2000 Shareware periodically updates software information and pricing of Convert Dwg Dxf To Kml from the publisher, so some information may be slightly out-of-date. You should confirm all information before relying on it. Excel To KML security is comparable to sending an email to a trusted colleague. Your data is transmitted over the internet and saved as a file on the Earth Point server. The data is immediately sent back to your PC in the form of a KML file and the original file is removed from the Earth Point server.

Converts a feature or raster layer into a KML file containing a translation of Esri geometries and symbology. This file is compressed using ZIP compression, has a .kmz extension, and can be read by any KML client including ArcGIS Earth, ArcGlobe, and Google Earth.

Usage

  • You can control the appearance of KML in two ways:

    • By default, the pop-up display will be composed of all visible fields from the layer. Pop-up displays can also be set using the layer's customized pop-ups. If the layer pop-ups have not been customized, the values in the feature layer's PopupInfo field will be shown in the pop-up display when a KML feature is clicked. These values can be numeric or text attributes as well as HTML-formatted code stored in a text field.
    • When the layer properties are not set and the feature class contains certain attributes (fields), the field properties will be used in creating the KML Layers that were originally created using the KML To Layer tool include attributes that define how KML will be created. See Convert to and from KML for more information on creating KML from attributes.

  • You can reduce the size of the output KMZ document if your layer has scale-dependent display properties and you choose an appropriate map output scale.

  • All KML and KMZ files are created in the WGS84 coordinate system. You need to be sure your layers will properly project if they aren't already in WGS84. You can use the Project tool to reproject your data prior to KML conversion if your projection requires a transformation.

  • To output a single raster image draped over topography, use the Return single composite image option.

  • Input features with attachments will be included in the output .kmz file. Be aware of the following conditions for attachments inside .kmz files:

    • Attachments can dramatically increase the output file size.
    • When consuming the KML file in a KML client, attachments are available from the KML pop-up.
    • Attachments can be excluded by disabling the Maintain Attachments environment setting prior to running the tool.
    • Not all KML clients support displaying attachments equally. Some KML client applications have better support for attachments such as images and PDF documents.

  • The Layer Output Scale and Size of returned image (pixels) parameters are used together to create tiled output. For example, for an image with a size of 7000 by 5000 pixels, and a Size of returned image (pixels) parameter value of 1000 pixels, the output image will be composed of 7 x 5, or 35, submages. If the Layer Output Scale parameter value is set to 1, each subimage will be 1000 by 1000 pixels. If the Layer Output Scale parameter value is set to 10, each subimage will be 100 by 100 pixels.

Syntax

ParameterExplanationData Type

The feature or raster layer or layer file (.lyrx) to be converted to KML.

Layer
out_kmz_file

The KML file to write. This file is compressed and has a .kmz extension. It can be read by any KML client including ArcGIS Earth, ArcGlobe, and Google Earth.

File
(Optional)

For raster layers, a value of 0 can be used to create one untiled output image. If a value greater than or equal to 1 is used, it will determine the output resolution of the raster. This parameter has no effect on layers that are not raster layers.

Double
(Optional)

Specifies whether to output a single composite image.

  • COMPOSITE —The output KML file will be a single composite image representing the raster or vector features in the source layer. The raster is draped over the terrain as a KML GroundOverlay. Select this option to reduce the size of the output KMZ file. When COMPOSITE is used, individual features and layers in the KML will not be selectable.
  • NO_COMPOSITE —If your layer has vector features, they will be preserved as KML vectors. If your layer is a raster, you can choose either option for this parameter without any visual difference.
Boolean
(Optional)

The geographic extent of the area to be exported. Specify the extent rectangle bounds as a space-delimited string of WGS84 geographic coordinates in the form lower left and upper right (xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax).

Extent
(Optional)

The size of the tiles for raster layers if the Layer Output Scale parameter value is set to a value greater than or equal to 1. This parameter has no effect on layers that are not raster layers.

Long
(Optional)

The device resolution for KML output when the Return single composite image parameter is checked (is_composite = 'COMPOSITE' in Python). This parameter is used with the Size of returned image (pixels) parameter (image_size in Python) to control output image resolution.

Note:

This parameter does not provide the ability to resample source rasters. Any input rasters will have a snapshot taken and included in the KML output as a simple .png image.

Long
(Optional)
  • ABSOLUTE —Use the Z-values of features when creating KML. The features will be drawn inside KML clients relative to sea level.
  • CLAMPED_TO_GROUND —Override Z-values in your features and create KML with the features clamped to the ground. The features will be draped over the terrain. This setting is used for features that do not have Z-values. This is the default.
Boolean
