Digitize a Scanned Paper Map
Import Vector Data from Another File Format
If you have map data that is not in DWG format,
you can import it into AutoCAD Map 3D. Importing converts data to drawing
objects, while maintaining coordinate system information and links
to data. You can limit the import to a specific area in the map
or assign incoming data to existing AutoCAD Map 3D object classes.

Open or create a new drawing using a map template
|
|
|
|
|
|
Imported objects will use the coordinate system
in the map
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the objects to import are linked to a database
table, attach that table to the map, and create a link template for
it
|
|
|
|
|
|
For each incoming layer, specify the target
layer, the original coordinate system, how to store the data, and
an object class
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use drawing cleanup to correct geometry errors
resulting from surveying, digitizing and scanning errors
|
|
|
|
|
|
The drawing objects you brought in use the new
coordinate system, but the original drawing is unchanged.

NoteChanges you make to imported
objects do not affect the original map. To edit features and update
the original source with your changes, connect to the data rather
than import it. See Bringing in GIS Features in the AutoCAD Map 3D Help.
