MichaelH27 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Is anyone out there familiar with using shapefiles (.shp) and manipulating the data that is contained in the shapefiles? I am new to this mapping world and using GIS files to create functioning Cad dwg's. Spoon feeding would be welcomed! Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Are you using AutoCAD or Map 3D? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emigrato Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 manipulating the data that is contained in the shapefiles? Well, if you only wanna see the graphic content of a shapefile, with its Gis attributes, type in _MAPIMPORT setting it like this: However, if you must edit the attributes inside, I advise to do it in a Gis opensource, or simply editing the .DBF in Excel (without adding rows).

Emigrato Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 How are you??? Fine, thanks. If you'd like to edit the geometry of your survey data, you should simply _MAPIMPORT that shape in Autocad Map, as explained above (see post 23rd Aug 2012 11:37 am). However, if you'd like to edit the inner attributes (textual), use the powerful free Mapwindow_Gis or edit the .DBF in Excel, amigo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
