To continue this tutorial, go to Exercise 3: Query in data from the drawing (page 41). Exercise 3: Query in data from the drawing When you attach a drawing to a map, objects in the drawing do not appear in the map immediately. You must query them in. The drawing file you attached is a map of California with polygons defined for each county. Since the city of Redding is in Shasta County, you add the Shasta County boundaries to your map. You can query in data based on location, properties, or data. In this case, query the name of the county, which is stored as object data. NOTE This exercise uses the BuildMap1.dwg map you created and modified in the previous exercises. To query in drawing data 1 In the BuildMap1.dwg file, in Display Manager (page 310), click Data ➤ Add Drawing Data ➤ Query Source Drawing. 2 In the Define Query Of Attached Drawings dialog box, under Query Type, click Data. 3 In the Data Condition dialog box, select the Object Data option. 4 In the Object Data Fields list, select NAME.
