Add DWG Data to an Existing Feature Source

You can add drawing objects to a geospatial feature source.

NoteUse this workflow to add a few objects. To add many objects, use the workflow for exporting to SDF and then bulk copying to SDE, or export drawing data directly to Oracle.


Open the drawing file		Open the file containing the drawing objects you want to add to a feature source

Clean up the drawing data		Use drawing cleanup to correct common map errors resulting from surveying, digitizing, and scanning errors

Connect to the feature source		Connect to the data source containing the features to which you want to add the DWG data

Create a new feature from geometry		Add a drawing object to a feature layer

Add attribute information for the new feature		Enter feature attributes in Data Table

Optionally, set Update Edits Automatically		Queue your edits to save to the source all at once, or save them as you work
