Hi Adam, This problem is on the schedule to be fixed for the upcoming release of ER Mapper. Until then, you can work around the problem by importing the arcinfo coverage from the command-line as follows:
C:\ermapper62\bin\win32>importx -V -H LCBFRS -e importarcinfo_cover -m both -d 'ARC/INFO_Coverage_Arcs_and_Polygons' C:\ermapper62\examples\Shared_Data\arc_info_workspace\lajollards c:\ermapper62\examples\testcov.erv This command will display the import window with the input and output fields already filled in. All you need to do is select the datum and projection. Note: I copied the first part of the import command-line directly from the utilities.erm file located in the ermapper62\config directory. The second part of the command line consists of the path to the arcinfo coverage (C:\ermapper62\examples\Shared_Data\arc_info_workspace\lajollards) followed by the output vector file(c:\ermapper62\examples\testcov.erv).

The coverages I'm trying to import aren't particularly large, but no matter what option I try and import with (arc+polys, arc only, polys only) the utility crashes and exits ERM. I posted this problem about a month ago and received no response. The machine that is giving me the problems is a dual 1000 MHz with 786Mb or RAM running Win 2000 SP2. I've installed ERM on a older Win98SE machine which I transfer the license to when I need to import arc coverages, but this situation is far from ideal. Is there a bug with the Arc importer under Win2000 SP2? ------------------------------------------------ Adam Inglis Remote Sensing Specialist Spatial Mapping Ltd. 1655 Knight Ave. Victoria, BC V8P 1L4 Phone: (250) 519-0294 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.spatialmapping.com ------------------------------------------------ ----- Original Message ----- From: Adam Inglis To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 11:11 AM Subject: Arc/Info Import utility keeps crashing Hi All, I'm having trouble importing Arc/Info coverages into ERV files using the import utilities in ERM 6.21. The coverages I'm trying to import aren't particularly large, but no matter what option I try and import with (arc+polys, arc only, polys only) the utility crashes and exits ERM. I've tried importing the coverage without assigning them the Datum/Projection info (seeing as I could do that later), but that still does not prevent it from crashing. I've tried importing these exact same coverages on another machine with ERM 6.21 and it works fine, the only problem is that the machine is at a remote location and I have to use PC Anywhere to control it, which an be frustrating at times to say the least. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks in advance for your help. ------------------------------------------------ Adam Inglis Remote Sensing Specialist Spatial Mapping Ltd. 1655 Knight Ave. Victoria, BC V8P 1L4 Phone: (250) 519-0294 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.spatialmapping.com ------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------- To make changes to your subscription, please visit our website, http://www.ermapper.com/technicl/ermapperl/index.htm
