Join Gordon Luckett for an in-depth discussion in this video Connecting to file-based vector data, part of AutoCAD Map 3D Essential Training (2014).
- AutoCAD Map 3D can import and export…many formats, but one of the most effective ways…of working with GIS data is to attach it directly…to a drawing, rather than importing it.…Let's do that now.…In the Display Manager, in the Task Pane,…click Data, Connect to Data.…In the Data Connect window we have many different…GIS types we can directly connect to.…We can connect to ArcSDE, Enterprise Industry,…MySQL, ODBC, Oracle, PostgreSQL,…any Raster Image, SDF, SHP, SQL Server, SQLite,…and any WFS and WMS Connection.…
Plenty of ways to directly connect the data.…In this case we're going to directly connect…to a SHP file.…Click on the Add SHP Connection.…We're going to call this POINTSOFINTEREST…and we're going to browse to a particular file…POI.shp. Points of interest.…Click Connect and it should be already checked…and just click Add to Map…and we can close the Data Connect window.…And you will see,…all your points of interest now available.…
At any time you can click on a point of interest…and click on Table to look at data inside of each one.…
