■ To preview the objects that will be exported, click Preview Filtered
Selection.
5 On the Feature Class tab, do the following:
■ To create multiple classes, select Create Multiple Classes Based On A
Drawing Object.
See Exporting to Multiple Classes (page 1439).
■ Click Select Attributes and select the data to export with the objects.
TIP If you are exporting data from an external database, you can export
the entire record from the database or just the key fields. Because the key
field values are stored in the map, choosing the key field (listed under
Link Templates) makes the export faster.
6 On the Options tab, select the options you want.
■ To perform a coordinate conversion, you must have a coordinate
system
assigned to the map (page 147).
■ Check Treat closed polylines as polygons (if it is available) unless you
want only polygon objects to be exported as polygons.
7 Click OK to begin the export process.

Exporting To VML (Vector Markup Language)
AutoCAD Map 3D supports VML (Vector Markup Language). VML, which is
written using the XML syntax, is a text-based markup language used for
describing vector graphics. VML is an export-only format.
NOTE When you export from a map, only drawing objects are exported. Geospatial
features are ignored. To move geospatial feature data to another format, use
Migrating GIS Data (Bulk Copy) (page 617).
