• 3. Select the MDB Options
• a. Item Name – Uses the SMD item Name for the Element Template Names
• b. Item Description - Uses the SMD item Description for the Element Template Names
• c. Item Name + Description - Uses the SMD item Name & Description for the Element Template Names (This is the preferred option which will yield the best results)

IMPORTANT ** Select the Option before you load the MDB

• 4. Pick the magnifying glass to select and load the MDB file
• 5. Pick “Export to Excel Spreadsheet File” to review and modify your Element Templates or select “Export to Element Template XML File” to create a file to load into OpenRoads Designer

Converting the SMD to Feature Symbologies and Feature Definitions

• 1. Double-click on the SMDfeatures_to_ORDfeatures.exe file
