SMS:GIS Data Workflow: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:17, 24 September 2015

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

1. Import GIS data.
Use the File \| Open... command to import GIS data files such as Shapefiles, MIF/MID files, Lidar files, or raster files. Alternatively, drag and drop the file into the Graphics Window in SMS.

2. Add properties.
Add database files (.dbf) to GIS layers using the Join Table to Layer* command. Define mapping properties. Manage GIS layers.

3. Convert data.
Interpolate data to scatter module, grid module, mesh module, or map coverage. Convert GIS data to feature contours, TINs, scatter set, or 2D grid.

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

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