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
- Properties...
- Brings up the Properties dialog for the selected layer.
