I'm a little fuzzy on what you're trying to do and what process you're following.
- Is your final desired output a shapefile, or a Maptitude database (dbd or cdf)? - And are you trying to perform the merge within Maptitude, or import a shapefile merged by another utility? If all you want to do is to create a merged shapefile, then I recommend using ogr2ogr instead of Maptitude. And if you want a dbd/cdf, then I recommend using ogr2ogr to merge the shapefiles, and then import the combined shapefile (assuming that's not what you're already trying). Finally, I don't have proof of this, but Maptitude seems to consume fewer resources if you do the conversion in two steps: 1. import the shapefile to a non-topological dbd; 2. export that dbd as a topological dbd. Can anyone at Caliper confirm my suspicion? --- In [email protected], "timmelko" <timmelko@...> wrote: > > Merging all 2010 Census TIGER/Line Shapefiles into 1 shape file. > > I've been attempting to merge all of the 2010 Census TIGER/Line Shapefiles > into 1 shape file. > > I'm not having much success so far and was curious if anyone else has tried > this. > > I can import them one at a time with no problem, however, after I have all of > the Shapefiles combined into one, it gets to about 30% on the import and then > my PC runs out of memory and it causes Maptitude to crash. > > Any thoughts would be appreciated! > > ~Tim Melko~ > ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
