To work with GIS data into GMS, use the following steps:

Using the GIS module in GMS

1. Import GIS data.
  1. Use the File | Open... command to import GIS data files such as Shapefiles or raster files.
  2. Alternatively, drag and drop the file into the Graphics Window in GMS.
2. Add GIS properties.
  1. Right-click on the GIS object and select the Join Table to Layer command.
  2. Use the Select Table File dialog to specify table information to add to the GIS object.
  3. Use the Join Table dialog to specify the table data should be added to the GIS object.
3. Convert GIS data.
1. Convert to feature objects.
  1. Select the GIS | Shapes → Feature Objects command.
  2. Use the GIS to Feature Objects Wizard to create feature objects on a map coverage.
2. Convert to 2D scatter points.
This process requires the active GIS data contain point layers.
  1. Right-click on the GIS object and select the Convert to | 2D Scatter Points command.
3. Convert to UGrid.
This process requires the active GIS data contain polygons.
  1. Right-click on the GIS object and select the Convert to | UGrid command.
