Overview of Entering and Editing Object Data
Object data is attribute data that is attached to individual objects and stored
in tables in the drawing. Object data tables store text and numerical
information related to an object.
NOTE This functionality is for drawing objects only. To view attribute data for
geospatial features, use the
Data Table (page 711).
To use object data, first define the format for the table, and then create each
record as you attach it to an object.
After you define an object data table, you can associate it with one or more
drawing objects. When you attach object data to a drawing object, AutoCAD
Map 3D creates a new record in the selected table and attaches the record to
the object. You can create more than one record for each object, and you can
attach records from more than one table to an object.
NOTE This procedure is for drawing objects only. To view attribute data for
geospatial features, use the
Data Table (page 711).
