This video demonstrates how to use the GEOPAK DDB Extractor Utility. This stand alone executable will convert a GEOPAK DDB exported to an *.MDB file to three separtate XML files for importing of:

   - Element Templates
   - Feature Symbologies
   - Feature Definitions
  

to OpenRoads Designer CONNECT Edition.

The utility can be downloaded from the following link

3386.civil_ddb_utility.zip

Important Information:
    
1. Make sure the GEOPAK SS2 or SS4 workspace environment you will be exporting the *.DDB to *.MDB file from
   has access to all of the following:
  
  - Custom Linestyles
  - Levels
  - Cells

2. Export the DDB to an *.MDB file

3. Run the executable provided selcting the *.MDB file

4. Select Export to XML to generate the 3 xml files.

5. Make sure this admin config variable is set in your workspace:

_CIVIL_STANDARDS_IMPORTEXPORT = 1

6. Import the Element Templates, then Feature Symbologies, and lastly the Feature Definitions to a new DGNLib.

7. This should only be used with ORD 2018 Release 4 (10.06.00.038) or higher.
 
 
KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
 
- This will NOT "Update" Elememt Templates or Feature symbologies, or Feature Definitions. 
   If one with the same name already exist, the new imported entry will be given a
   suffix of the number 1.  Thus, it is best practice to
   either delete the entries before import, or import to a new dgnlib file.
