“AutoCAD Map 3D 2011: Importing, Connecting to and Exporting Data” is one complete topic from our popular book of AutoCAD Map tutorials, “Digging Into AutoCAD Map 3D 2011 – Level 1 Training” in the Kindle format. We have separated the book into sections, taking an “a la carte” approach, allowing you to select just the topics you are interested in or need at the time.

In this Kindle book, you will learn how to data from an ESRI ArcInfo export file, also called an E00 file, including the attribute information. Once the data is imported you will be able to edit and modify the objects and the data associated with them. You will also import an ArcView shapefile containing parcel data that was created in a different coordinate system and convert it to the coordinate system of the current drawing.

You will also learn the processes of connecting to GIS data directly using FDO (Feature Data Objects) technology, and become familiar with the differences between importing and connecting to GIS data.

Next, you will export data to an ArcView shapefile including the attribute information. Finally, you will learn how to publish a DWF file containing the attribute data. This is a great way to share drawings with people who may not have access to AutoCAD Map 3D or even AutoCAD.

Prerequisites:

Basic AutoCAD knowledge and an understanding of the fundamentals of Object Data and External Database Links are required for the tutorials in this Kindle book. To learn more about Object Data and External Database Links see these other Kindle books in this series: “AutoCAD Map 3D 2011: Object Data and External Data”.
