Difficulties with .osm files #56

Closed N-particle closed 10 years ago

N-particle commented 10 years ago

Hi, I am trying to export a small suburbs street data from Open Street Map to open in ESRI Arcmap. I am using Arcmap 10.2.2 with the built in OSM system toolbox.

In street map I am selecting the area I want - going to the layers to load data - the roads go blue and then I export - I'm not sure if I'm doing this the right way - it makes an .osm file which I then try to load using the ArcMap load OSM tool but it gives me a little dialogue box in the corner (load osm file with a red cross): The error it says is the following:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object I'm pretty new to Arcmap can anyone help?

Hi,

You would rather ‘import’ into ArcGIS from OSM using ‘Download, Extract, and Symbolize OSM Data’. you would zoom to the desired extent and then run the tool. This will download data from OSM to a local file geodatabase in a regular set of feature classes and apply symbology.

Please also see: https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-osm-editor/wiki/Download-data-from-osm

Hope this helps,

Marten

Thanks so much for your reply and help Marten,

I have since tried this and it's working - any idea why it has to go to the default geodatabase location? (I had been trying to browse to the job folder for this project and creating a new geodatabase but it fails...

Just go to the file geodatabase you’d like to store this in and make it the default geodatabase from the catalog dialog in ArcMap. Right-click the file geodatabase and select make default.

one last thing - since I've created the goedatabase on the C drive - can I just cut and paste the folder it makes into the job folder (which is on a different drive)?

Outside ArcMap, the file geodatabase is ‘just a folder with files’ that you can zip and move. Keep .gdb as the name though if you move it.

N-particle commented 10 years ago

ok thanks. I will have a play around with it - I'm assuming it would need re-pathing if I want to open the .mxd file another machine (that can see the job folder but not the C drive of this machine).

again thanks, and sorry about the barrage of questions -

If your mxd stores relative paths then repathing is not needed when you ship the mxd and the gdb to someone or to a different location (provided relative locations remain the same).

Ah, thank you - that makes perfect sense in an Autocad way (which is my background).
