&lt;p&gt;Since you have&amp;nbsp;BOUD XFM project that defines a point feature class representing Pole data, you can use the &amp;quot;Feature Parameters &amp;gt; Mapped Name&amp;quot; = &amp;quot;Pole&amp;quot; as you&amp;#39;ve shown in the 2nd image. You can then also map the individual business properties of the SHP file to the Pole feature class using the &amp;quot;Property Parameters &amp;gt; Mapped Name&amp;quot; as also shown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To affect the imported size of the Pole cells, before running the Interoperability Import process, use the &amp;quot;Plot-Scale&amp;quot; pull down menu to select different scales. If those cell size changes are not sufficient, then a change using the Bentley Geospatial Administrator to the BOUD XFM schema may be required, adjusting the &amp;quot;Pole &amp;gt; Symbology &amp;gt; Cell X[YZ]Scale&amp;quot; settings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If mapping of the imported SHP data to an existing BOUD XFM feature class is not required, please note that you also have the ability to simply use the&amp;nbsp;Interoperability Import &amp;quot;Cell Symbology&amp;quot; settings such as&amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;Cell Library&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Cell Name&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;X[Y] Scale&amp;quot; to import the data.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Importing shapefile into Bentley open utilities Designer V8i select series 4 issues</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/427924?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 22 Sep 2017 00:41:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:64921f26-20b3-49e7-9a3a-14b8a90ac9b1</guid><dc:creator>John Turno</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Jeff,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i already tried importing as what you have instructed but an error has occurs..attached is the image of the error.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;nbsp;want to import the shapefile (point) to pole into BOUD, when i choose a mapped name into &amp;quot;POLE&amp;quot;, the point type will automatically change into point..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How to fix these issue..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks a lot.&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5926/error.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5926/error.jpg" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5926/Pole-error.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5926/Pole-error.jpg" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Importing shapefile into Bentley open utilities Designer V8i select series 4 issues</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/427711?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 20 Sep 2017 17:26:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:6efe78cc-c165-4055-8e85-263fc539774a</guid><dc:creator>Jeff Bielefeld</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;John, in the Interoperability Import tool, after selecting &amp;quot;Feature Parameters &amp;gt; Point Type = Cell&amp;quot;, you can use &amp;quot;Cell Symbology &amp;gt; X Scale = Session.ActiveScaleX&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Cell Symbology &amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;Y Scale = Session.ActiveScaleY&amp;quot; settings to use the active scale to size the cells used for the imported points.

&lt;p&gt;I already imported the shapefile into its accurate location, another issue i encounterd is the scale of the asset(Pole). What would be the remedy for this?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The shapefile exported from trimble contains no .PRJ file. Is this may the cause of the error in importing the shapefile into BOUD? It is really neccessary to have a shapefile with .PRJ file in it?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Importing shapefile into Bentley open utilities Designer V8i select series 4 issues</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/427334?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 18 Sep 2017 16:18:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:1b837f97-ed26-4c69-af4c-3c6d9124d19f</guid><dc:creator>Jeff Bielefeld</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;John,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does the Trimble created shapefile include a .PRJ file? If so, that file would indicate the geographic coordinate system in which the points were collected.&amp;nbsp;The .PRJ file is ASCII&amp;nbsp;format and can be&amp;nbsp;viewed with Notepad or any equivalent text editor. Before importing the shapefile, you would need to ensure that your active design file has been assigned a compatible active geographic coordinate system to allow for the necessary coordinate and/or unit conversions for the points.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
