Geojson

Is there a way to import geojson files to FM?

  • Not with FM itself. You'd have to use an external tool or write a program to convert the json into something FM can read. FM actually has a text version of its format, so possibly something that could create that.

  • Actually if you can export the geojson to wmf, FM can import that pretty well.

  • What about SVG files? I'm looking at a site called fantasytowngenerator.com. It can export maps as PNG, SVG, or geojson. I could just use the png as a background image, but would prefer to have buildings as actual objects in FM9.

  • Ok, svg, now you're talking. You can use Inkscape to convert the svg file to .emf (enhanced windows metafile) and open that directly (ie, File->Open) in FM9. Here's an example from that site.

  • I disabled all the options when I exported from inkscape, but you can fiddle around with those to find the best to use. Just one note - FM does not support reading text, I don't believe from emf files.
