“Convert Data” converts any supported resources file into another supported resource file, one on one.
“Optimize Data” optimizes one or more supported resource files into a single Orbit optimized resource file.
Optimizing mobile mapping images to .omi files can be done using the desktop procedure Optimize Imagery. This procedure is different from the “Optimize data” and “Convert data” tool, in that sense that there is an additional normalization process part of it.
One and the same sidebar is used to convert Image, Vector and Point Cloud resources.
