Namespace: Autodesk.Civil.DatabaseServices
Assembly: AeccDbMgd (in AeccDbMgd.dll) Version: 13.8.0.292
Syntax
public void ExportToDEM(
	string fileName,
	string coordinateSystemCode,
	double gridSpacing,
	ExportDetermineElevationType deteElevBy
)

Parameters

fileName  String
The full file path of the exported file, whose file extension is either .dem for DEM file or .tif for GEOTIFF file.
coordinateSystemCode  String
The coordinate zone of the exported surface, using a Map Zone name.
gridSpacing  Double
The horizontal spacing for DEM profile points.
deteElevBy  ExportDetermineElevationType
Specifies how the elevations of the DEM file are determined from the exported surface.
Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
ArgumentException Thrown when :
  1. The fileName is empty.
  2. The extension of fileName is not .dem or .tif.
  3. The coordinateSystemCode is empty.
  4. The gridSpacing is less than or equal to 0.0.
  5. The coordinateSystemCode is not supported.
  6. The target DEM file already exists and is not writable.
InvalidOperationException Thrown when there is an Internal error.
Remarks
  1. If the target DEM file exists, its contents are deleted. If the method fails, the existing file will be empty.
  2. If the drawing has a coordinate system defined, the export uses that drawing coordinate system, and the coordinateSystemCode parameter is ignored.
  3. This version of ExportToDEM() does not specify a custom Null elevation.
