Page 264 highlights

To select the layers to export to SDF 1 Click Output tab ➤ Map Data Transfer panel ➤ As SDF. 2 In the Save dialog box, specify a location and a name for the new SDF file and click OK. Make a note of the file name and location, so you can connect to this file later. 3 In the Export dialog box, on the Selection tab, click Select All. 4 Leave the Export dialog box open for the next exercise. To continue this tutorial, go to Exercise 4: Export the drawing layers to SDF Map object data to feature class properties (page 256). Exercise 4: Export the drawing layers to SDF - Map object data to feature class properties Use the Feature Class tab to map the properties for each layer to its resulting feature class in the SDF file. You can specify some attributes as shared properties: all resulting feature classes have these properties. For example, Lineweight and Linestyle would apply to every feature class. You can specify other attributes as specific to a particular feature class. For example, Address would apply to Parcels only. NOTE This exercise uses the DWGMap.dwg map file you opened and modified in Exercise 1: Examine the original drawing layers (page 251). To specify the properties for the SDF feature classes 1 In the Export dialog box, on the Feature Class tab, click Create Multiple Classes Based On A Drawing Object. For Drawing Object To Use, select Layer. 256 | Chapter 7 Tutorial: Managing Data From Different Sources

Exercise 4: Export the drawing layers to SDF - Map object
data to feature class properties
Use the Feature Class tab to map the properties for each layer to its resulting
feature class in the SDF file. You can specify some attributes as shared
properties: all resulting feature classes have these properties. For example,
Lineweight and Linestyle would apply to every feature class. You can specify
other attributes as specific to a particular feature class. For example, Address
would apply to Parcels only.
NOTE
This exercise uses the
DWGMap.dwg
map file you opened and modified in
Exercise 1: Examine the original drawing layers
(page 251).
To specify the properties for the SDF feature classes
1
In the Export dialog box, on the Feature Class tab, click Create Multiple
Classes Based On A Drawing Object. For Drawing Object To Use, select
