AutoCAD Map 3D reads each selected object and creates a new record in
the external database table. If an object has multiple records from the
object data table, AutoCAD Map 3D creates multiple records in the external
database table. AutoCAD Map 3D also generates a database link to connect
the object to the record in the new database table.
■ Use object data in your drawing that matches information in an external
database table and automatically create links based on the matched
information.
You can leave the object data in the drawing or remove the object data from
the objects as each record is created.
