Import Schema
Import an XML schema that you exported, and use it to define a new schema
for another data store. This is useful for creating multiple data stores based
on the same schema
Export Schema
Export the selected schema as an XML file to share a schema you created
in the Schema Editor with other AutoCAD Map 3D or GIS-software users;
to back up a schema you created in the Schema Editor as an XML file; or
to save your work in progress if the original data source or directory becomes
unavailable.
New Schema
Define a new schema in a new or existing feature source for a database FDO
provider (Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, or Oracle) or for an SDF data store.
You cannot create a schema for an existing SHP feature source, but you can
create a new file-based data store and create a new schema for it during the
creation process. You must use ESRI tools to create an ArcSDE schema—you
cannot use AutoCAD Map 3D to create a schema for ArcSDE.
New Feature Class
Select a schema entry on the right and click New Feature Class, and specify
the information for the new feature class on the left side of the window.
New Property
Select the feature class entry for the property on the right and click New
Property. Specify the information for the property on the left side of the
window.
Schema Settings
Enter A Schema Name
Enter the name that will appear in the Schema tree. It must follow the
naming rules of the provider.
NOTE You cannot change the schema name for a SQLite data store. The schema
name must be “Default.” Also, for SQLite schemas, you cannot add comments
in the Schema or Feature Class Description fields.
Description
Enter an optional description of the schema.
