Loading existing AutoCAD objects

- Keeping intelligence such as object data…and link templates when moving data into…vector based GIS data is critical for data integrity.…You will load multiple objects with attached object data…into a GIS data set in this lesson.…Let's try that.…Drag and drop the parcels into my current session.…You'll notice the parcels are there.…If we pick on parcels in display manager and pick on table,…you'll see that there's a feature id, an id,…a street name and street number.…Let's change our view and zoom in to our new subdivision.…

In the new subdivision we have these closed polylines.…Let's pick on one, look at the properties.…See it's an AutoCAD polyline so it's not a GIS data.…It's not coming from a sdf.…It's an actual dwg and if we scroll down,…first of all we can see it's a closed polyline…so it is a polygon.…And it also has object data called id,…street name and street now.…These columns match identically with what's in the sdf…which is really critical for us to export this…into the sdf and make sure that the columns match up…
