• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hello!

Developing an application that produce shapefile for shp2vec. Walking through examples I'm unable to understand, what is the purpose of uuid column in dbf file. Can I use dummy uuid (all zeroes) or should use some non-zero values?

Thanks in advance
Igor
 
Hi,

My understanding is also that they need to be unique. So it is best to assign a new random GUID to each of them. That's how I have done it in one of my tools.
 
As far as I can remember, the UUID is never used by shp2vec. I think it's original use was to set a drawing priority, but the Aces team never utilized this and drawing priority is random within the BGL.

A number is required, but not used.
