Attach Attribute Data to Drawing Objects

You can attach data to objects in your drawings. The data can be stored in the map itself (which makes it easier to send the map and its data to another user), or in an external database like Microsoft Access or Excel (which makes it easier to share an existing data store with other maps and other users).

For object data:

Define an object data table		Create an object data table to save attribute information in the drawing
Connect the data to the objects		Enter the data for each object

For external data:

Attach the database, containing the external data		Attach the database to the map
Create a link template		Create a link template, to specify the key fields in the database
Link the data to the objects		Link a record from the database to the object
