GIS vector data can be converted to Feature Objects (points, arcs, polygons in coverages) for use in a conceptual model. Attributes associated with the GIS data can also be mapped over to attributes associated with Feature Objects. Two commands are available for converting GIS vector data to Feature Objects: GIS | ArcObjects → Feature Objects and GIS | Shapes → Feature Objects.
Selecting the GIS | ArcObjects → Feature Objects command (with an ArcObjects license), or the GIS | Shapes → Feature Objects (without an ArcObjects license) launches a mapping wizard which guides you through the process of converting your GIS vector data to feature objects in a map coverage. Before beginning the mapping process you should first make sure that the currently active coverage is the coverage you wish to map GIS data layer features to. Also, you will associate the GIS attributes with GMS coverage attributes, so you must make sure the GMS coverage attributes are defined before you can do the conversion.
The next step is to select the GIS features which overlay your study area and that you wish to convert to feature objects (this is done with the selection tool(s) in the GIS module). If you wish to map all the features you can execute the Mapping command, and you will be prompted if you want to convert all features since none are selected.
If you have ArcObjects enabled you will see that the GIS | ArcObjects → Feature Objects command; if you do not have ArcObjects enabled you will see that the GIS | Shapes → Feature Objects command is activated. After choosing the appropriate mapping command you will see the Mapping Wizard shown below. Follow the instructions in the mapping wizard to convert the GIS data to Feature Objects.
