To work with GIS data into GMS, use the following steps:

Using the GIS module in GMS

1. Import GIS data.

Template:GMS Import GIS Data

2. Add GIS properties.
  1. Right-click on the GIS object and select the Join Table to Layer command.
  2. Use the Select Table File dialog to specify table information to add to the GIS object.
  3. Use the Join Table dialog to specify the table data should be added to the GIS object.
3. Convert GIS data.
1. Convert shapefile to feature objects.
  1. Select the GIS | Shapes → Feature Objects command.
  2. Use the GIS to Feature Objects Wizard to create feature objects on a map coverage.


Using the GIS module with ArcObjects® in GMS

Requires having a valid ArGIS® license.

1. Enable ArcObjects®.
  1. Switch to the GIS module.
  2. Select the GIS | Enable ArcObjects command.
2. Import GIS data using ArcObjects®.
  1. Select the GIS | Add Data command.
  2. Use the Select Data dialog to locate and open the GIS files such as such as Shapefiles or raster files.
3. Add GIS properties.
  1. Right-click on the GIS object and select the Join Table to Layer command.
  2. Use the Select Table to join to dialog to specify table information to add to the GIS object.
  3. If it appears, use the Join dialog to specify which attribute field in the GIS object will receive the table data.
4. Manage GIS layer properties.
  1. Right-click on the GIS object and select the Properties command.
  2. Use the Layer Properties dialog to specify layer properties.
5. Convert ArcObjects®.
1. Convert to feature objects.
  1. Select and make active the map coverage that will receive the feature objects from the GIS object.
  2. Switch to the GIS module.
  3. Select the GIS | ArcObjects → Feature Objects command.
  4. 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.
  1. 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.
  1. Right-click on the GIS object and select the Convert to | UGrid command.
