Add Shapefile Data

The Data | Add Shapefile Data command allows opening shapefiles as GIS layers in GMS. Without a license of ArcView on the computer then shapefiles are the only supported format for GIS layers. With a valid license of ArcView the Data | Add Data command is available and any of the ESRI supported formats can be opened as GIS data layers.

Add Data

The Data | Add Data command is available when ArcObjects is enabled and uses the same dialog resource to open GIS data layers that is used by ArcView.

Select Data dialog

When ArcObjects is enabled, GMS is able to load any of the ESRI supported formats, including shapefiles, coverages, geodatabases, grids, images, CAD files and others, as GIS data layers. These data can then be converted to GMS feature objects in map coverages.
