Importing a Feature Library from a Job or GIS File
Using the File>Import command in the Feature Library Editor
window, you can import the feature library used in an exist-
ing job or from a MIF or SHP file.
Uploading a standalone feature library file
- Unless already done, select Tools>Feature Library Editor to
open the Feature Library Editor window
- Open the feature library file you want to upload using the
File>Open... command. Feature library filenames are in the
form “*.mmf”. If you want to upload the feature library
used in the open job, then you must save it as an mmf file
from within the Feature library Editor window before
you are allowed to upload this file to the handheld.
- On the menu bar of the Feature Library Editor window,
select File and then Upload to GPS . MobileMapper Office
then routinely searches for the right baud rate to commu-

lished with the handheld, the upload sequence is
automatically started. A dialog box keeps you informed
on the file being transferred. A message is also displayed
on the handheld informing you that file transfer is in
progress. These two indications disappear from the PC
and handheld screens when data transfer is complete.
You usually have to
upload a standalone fea-

handheld when it’s the
first time this feature
library is used and so
there has been no job
created yet from this
library
