RSView creates XML files for the selected graphic displays, in the location you specify.
RSView also creates a file called BatchImport_Application name.xml, in the same
location. You can use this file to import multiple displays at the same time. To import a
different set of displays than you exported, edit the list of display names in the
BatchImport_Application name.xml file.
Editing XML files
We recommend that you use Notepad to edit your XML files.
If you do not want to change a property, you don’t need to include it in the XML file.
When you import the file, if you select the option “Create new objects in the display,”
properties that are not listed in the file are set to their default values. If you select the
option “Update existing objects on the display,” only properties that are listed in the file
are updated with imported information.
If you include attributes for an object whose name does not match one of those in the graphic
display, the attributes for that object are not imported. Attributes for all other objects in the file
whose names do match the ones in the graphic display are imported.
Saving XML files in Notepad
Save XML files created or edited in Notepad using either UTF-8 or UTF-16 file format.
Notepad’s Unicode file type corresponds to UTF-16 file format. For files containing
strings in English or other Latin-based languages, UTF-8 is recommended, to reduce the
size of the XML file. For other languages such as Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, UTF-16
is recommended.
