You can attach object data in these ways:
■ Attach object data manually to selected objects (page 1064) by specifying
the data values for each object.
■
Automatically create and attach object data (page 1066) based on existing
block attributes or text.
■
Attach object data as you digitize objects (page 1082).
When you attach object data to queried objects, AutoCAD Map 3D prompts
you to add the object to the save set.

Before you attach data to objects, create the object data table and execute a
Draw mode query to copy the objects into the current drawing.
NOTE You cannot attach data to geospatial features, but you can join external
data to geospatial features.
