The ''GIS'' menu appears when GIS data has been loaded into GMS. The menu has a submenu, the ''Selection'' submenu, which contains its own submenu, the ''Interactive Selection Method'' submenu. The following commands are available in the ''GIS'' menu:

The GIS menu appears when GIS data has been loaded into GMS. The menu has a submenu, the Selection submenu, which contains its own submenu, the Interactive Selection Method submenu. The following commands are available in the GIS menu:

Add Shapefile Data...
Adds a shape file to the GIS data.
Shapes → Feature Objects
Converts Shapefile data to feature objects using the GIS to Feature Objects wizard.

Obsolete Commands

Enabling ArcObjects is no longer supported in GMS starting with version 10.3.

Enable ArcObjects
Loads ArcMap ArcObjects so that ArcMap can run inside of GMS. This command is only available in 32 bit GMS since ArcMap is a 32 bit application. An ArcGIS must be installed with a valid license (or have access to a network license).
Add Data...
Calls ArcObjects and uses ESRI's Select Data dialog.
Delete Layer(s)...
Brings up a dialog where it is possible to select from the currently loaded layers and remove them from the GIS data. ArcObjects only.
A more efficient way to remove layers from a project would be to select the item in the Project Explorer and select delete.
ArcObjects → Feature Objects
Converts ArcObjects vector data to feature objects using the GIS to Feature Objects wizard.
Selection >
Select By Attributes...
Brings up ESRI's Query Wizard for selecting based on attribute. ArcObjects only.
Select By Location...
Brings up ESRI's Select By Location dialog. ArcObjects only.
Clear Selected Features
Clears all selections of GIS data. ArcObjects only.
Interactive Selection Method >
Allows selecting how ArcObjects will process new selections based on the 4 options listed below. ArcObjects only.
Create New Selection
Mode for handling interactive selection. ArcObjects only.
Add to Current Selection
Mode for handling interactive selection. ArcObjects only.
Remove from Current Selection
Mode for handling interactive selection. ArcObjects only.
Select from Current Selection
Mode for handling interactive selection. ArcObjects only.
Options...
Brings up ESRI's Selection Options dialog. ArcObjects only.
Selectable Layers...
Allows choosing which GIS layers can have selections. ArcOjects only.
Visible Layers...
Allows choosing which GIS layers are visible. ArcObjects only.
A more efficient way to change the visibility of the GIS layer is to use the check box next to the item in the Project Explorer

GIS Right-Click Menu

The following commands are available by right-clicking on GIS objects in the Project Explorer.

Attribute Table...
Brings up Attribute Table of the selected GIS layer.
Join Table to Layer...
Brings up File Browser dialog to choose a dbf file to join to a GIS layer.
Convert To >
Feature Objects
Converts Shapefile data to feature objects using the GIS to Feature Objects wizard.
2D Scatter Points
Converts GIS point layers to 2D scatter points.
UGrid
Converts GIS polygon data to an unstructured grid.
Trimmed Raster
Creates a new DEM from the selected DEM trimmed to the bounds of the active coverage or the selected polygons of the active coverage.
Projection >
Projection
Brings up the Projection dialog.
Set as Display Projection
Lets your selected GIS layer be set as the assigned projection.
Properties...
Brings up the Properties dialog for the selected layer.
