Menu Command Description
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. You must have ArcGIS installed with a valid license (or access to a network license).
Add Data... Calls ArcObjects and uses ESRI's Select Data dialog.
Delete Layer(s)... Brings up a dialog where the user can 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.
Shapes → Feature Objects Converts Shapefile 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 user to select 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 the user to choose which GIS layers can have selections. ArcOjects only.
Visible Layers... Allows the user to choose 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

Map Properties... Brings up the properties for the ESRI map and shows the current coordinate system.
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.
Transparency... Allows the user to set the transparency on raster layers or, if using ArcObjects, any GIS layer;
Properties... Brings up the properties dialog for the selected layer.
Convert to 2D Scatter Points Converts GIS point layers to 2D scatter points.
Add Shapefile Data... Adds a shape file to the GIS data.
Clear All Data Removes all GIS data from the project.
