Lesson 2: Using the Resulting SDF Files

Connect to the SDF file you created and edit the objects in the map as geospatial features. (If you imported the SDF file instead of connecting to it, the data would come back in as drawing objects instead of geospatial data.)

You can also add properties to the feature classes in your SDF file. In this lesson, you’ll add a constrained property. Constrained properties can have only the values you specify: values within a particular range or within a list you specify.

This lesson involves the following steps:

• Create a new map.
• Connect to the new SDF data.
• Add a new property.
