View and Edit Attribute Data
Attribute data is non-geometry data about a drawing object or feature. For
example, a drawing of parcels can have attribute data that lists the owner and
improvements for each parcel.
For drawing objects, you can do the following:
■ Import attribute data.
■ Attach drawing objects with links to external data.
■ Link database entries to the data already associated with drawing objects.
■ Create and manage attribute data within AutoCAD Map 3D using Data
View.
■ Use attribute data as the basis of queries.
■ Display attribute data on your map as text.
■ View attribute data linked to drawing objects using the Data View.
For geospatial feature data, you can do the following:
■ Join an attribute data store to an existing feature class.
■ Create and manage attribute data within AutoCAD Map 3D.
■ Use attribute data as the basis of queries.
