1. Enable ArcObjects®.
Switch to the GIS module. Select the GIS | Enable ArcObjects command.

2. Import GIS data using ArcObjects®.
Select the GIS | Add Data command. Use the Select Data dialog to locate and open the GIS files such as such as Shapefiles or raster files.

5. Convert ArcObjects®.

1. Convert to feature objects. Select and make active the map coverage that will receive the feature objects from the GIS object. Switch to the GIS module. Select the GIS | ArcObjects → Feature Objects command. Use the GIS to Feature Objects Wizard to map to convert the ArcObjects® to the map coverage. 2. Convert to 2D scatter points. This process requires the active GIS data contain point layers. Right-click on the GIS object and select the Convert to | 2D Scatter Points command. 3. Convert to UGrid. This process requires the active GIS data contain polygons. Right-click on the GIS object and select the Convert to | UGrid command.
