Table Of Contents
If the coordinate system assigned to the current drawing differs from
the coordinate system specified in the Input Coordinate System column,
AutoCAD Map 3D will perform a reverse transformation to determine
the correct coordinate space (area) for the incoming data.
Import Properties Table
Input Layer
Select the check box for an input layer name to import objects from that
layer. All layers for the selected file or folder are listed.
Drawing Layer
Specify the target layer in the current drawing for the incoming objects.
Click the down arrow to select an existing layer. Click
to select an existing
layer, create a new one, or use a layer stored in a data field.
Object Class
Specify the name of the object class to use for the incoming data. For
example, objects on an incoming Shapefile input layer can be classified and
included in the "LAND USE" object class in Map.
Click the down-arrow to select from a valid object class. Click
to map
the incoming data attributes to the object class definition. If you don't map
the attributes, AutoCAD Map 3D populates the object class with the default
object class values.
NOTE This column is available only if you have object classes defined in your
map. For more information about setting up object classes, see
Setting Up
Object Classification
(page 116).
Input Coordinate System
Click
to specify the coordinate system of the incoming layer. Objects
will be converted from the input coordinate system to the coordinate system
assigned to the current drawing.
NOTE This column is available only if the current drawing has an assigned
coordinate system. To assign a coordinate system to the current drawing, click
under Current Drawing Coordinate System.
