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

Using GIS without ArcObjects®

1. Import GIS data.
  1. Use the File | Open... command to import GIS data files such as Shapefiles, MIF/MID files, Lidar files, or raster files.
  2. Alternatively, drag and drop the file into the Graphics Window in SMS.
2. Convert data.
  1. Interpolate data to scatter module, grid module, mesh module, or map coverage.
  2. Convert GIS data to feature contours, TINs, scatter set, or 2D grid.

Using GIS with ArcObjects®

1. Enable ArcObjects®.
  1. Switch to the GIS module.
  2. Select the Data | Enable ArcObjects command.
2. Import GIS data using ArcObjects®.
  1. Select the Data | Add Data command.
  2. Use the Select Data dialog to locate and open the GIS files such as such as Shapefiles, MIF/MID files, LIDAR files, or raster files.
