Introduction to the Importer Wizard

Use the Importer Wizard to convert metadata into type tree script (.mts) files. The Importer Wizard can import various data formats to create type trees (.mtt).

The Importer Wizard uses a series of maps to convert metadata into a type tree script file (.mts). The Type Tree Maker then processes this type tree script and generates a type tree that contains all the supported types that are defined in the imported metadata.

Many of the type trees that are generated by the Importer Wizard can be immediately used for map development. However, depending on the contents of the interface-specific metadata file, it might be necessary for the generated type tree to be modified using the Type Designer.

You cannot simultaneously have a type tree open in the Type Designer while importing a type tree with the same name.
