R3IMPORTDCDB — Import DCDB Cadastral Boundaries

Command: R3IMPORTDCDB

Imports cadastral lot boundaries from a GeoJSON search result file (from the MLS Spatial Search) into the current drawing. Lots are placed as closed polylines on the DCDB_BDYS layer and tagged with XData for use with R3FO AUTO, R3PROPERTIES, and R3EXPORTLANDXMLNSW.

R3IMPORTDCDB automatically creates the DCDB survey plan and its component layers if they do not already exist in the drawing.

Usage

  1. Type R3IMPORTDCDB
  2. In the file dialog, select the GeoJSON file from the MLS Spatial Search
  3. R3Survey reports the coordinate system and a reference coordinate from the file
  4. Choose an insertion mode:
Option Result
Select (default) Pick an insertion point — the data is shifted so the first lot corner lands at the picked point
Adopt Use the GeoJSON coordinates as-is (no shift)
  1. If Select is chosen, pick the insertion point in the drawing

R3Survey imports all lot features as closed polylines and reports the count.

What is imported

Each lot is created as a closed Polyline on the DCDB_BDYS layer with the following XData stored for later use:

XData key Value
feature_type lot
LotNo Lot number
SecNo Section number (if applicable)
PlanNo Plan label (e.g. DP930430)
Class Lot

Notes

  • Only lot features are imported by this command. Survey mark features in the same GeoJSON file are imported separately using R3IMPORTSCIMS.
  • Use R3FO with the AUTO option to automatically place folio labels on all imported DCDB lots.
  • Lot boundaries can be viewed and their XData inspected in R3PROPERTIES.
