2 In the BuildMap1.dwg file, in Display Manager (page 310), click Data ➤ Connect to Data. 3 Under Data Connections By Provider, select Add SDF Connection. 4 Click the file icon next to Source File. 5 Navigate to the folder in My Documents where you copied the sample files and select PARCELS.SDF. Click Open. 6 Click Connect to add the parcel data file as a data source. Under Add Data To Map, Parcels is selected. The coordinate system for this feature class is displayed next to its name. If this information was incorrect, you could click the current coordinate system listing to see a down arrow and select a different coordinate system. NOTE Change the incoming coordinate system only if you know the original coordinate system for the feature-do not change the coordinate system to match your map. AutoCAD Map 3D automatically converts each feature from its own coordinate system into the coordinate system for the current map. If you change the coordinate system, the conversion might not be correct. 7 Click Add To Map. In the Data Connect window, connect to a data provider and then select the feature class you want. 44 | Chapter 2 Tutorial: Building a Map
