Overview

The AutoCAD Map 3D application maintains lists of available import and export formats. It is not possible to modify these lists using the API. The application Importer and Exporter classes can import and export data using these formats.

Any import or export procedure requires the following:

• Selecting the external file format and location
• Mapping attribute data from the external file to object data
• Setting any necessary driver options
• Importing or exporting

The particular options will vary depending on the type of data being imported or exported, but the overall procedure is the same.
