To bring in features from WFS
NOTE This topic applies to geospatial data. To bring in drawing (DWG) objects,
see
Overview of Bringing in Drawing Data From DWG Files (page 351).
1 In the
Display Manager (page 2060), click Data ➤ Connect To Data.
2 In the Data Connect window, select Add WGS Connection in the Data
Connections By Provider list.
3 Under Connection Name, type a name for this connection.
You can give the connection any name you like. This name appears in
Map Explorer as the name of the feature source.
4 Under server name, specify the URL for the WFS server. Click the down
arrow to choose from a list of recently used URLs.
5 If necessary, enter your user name and password.
6 Click Connect.
7 In the Add Data To Map area, select the feature classes to include.
If this feature source contains only a single feature class, that feature class
is selected automatically. If it contains multiple feature classes, you can
right-click any of them and select Select All or Select None.
8 For each feature class you select, verify the coordinate system. You can
change an incorrect coordinate system if necessary (page 311).
9 Click Add To Map.
To bring in a subset of the data, click the down arrow and select Add To
Map With Query
(page 309). To filter data after you’ve added the data to
your map, see
Filtering Feature Layers (page 1216).
Features from the selected feature classes appear in your map. If you need
additional properties related to this data, you can connect additional data to
a feature source layer using a
join (page 507).
