Exercise 4: Drape a parcel layer on top of the surface
Tutorial: Analyzing Data Using Styles, Joins, and Buffers
Exercise 1: Set up an ODBC connection for an Access database
Lesson 2: Analyzing Data With External Information Using Joins
Join the parcels layer to a Microsoft Access database that contains owner information.
To connect to an Access database from AutoCAD Map 3D, you must first set up an ODBC connection for that database using a control panel in Windows. Then, connect to this source using Data Connect, just as you connected to the physical data sources in your map. The database source contains a field that you can match to a field in the Parcels layer, so you can join the data to the parcels and style or analyze all the resulting data seamlessly.
