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

Using GIS in SMS

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® in SMS

Requires having a valid ArGIS® license.

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.
3. Add GIS properties.
  1. Right-click on the GIS object and select the Join Table to Layer command.
  2. Use the Select Table to join to dialog to specify table information to add to the GIS object.
  3. If it appears, use the Join dialog to specify which attribute field in the GIS object will receive the table data.
4. Manage GIS layer properties.
  1. Right-click on the GIS object and select the Properties command.
  2. Use the Layer Properties dialog to specify layer properties.
5. Convert ArcObjects®.
1. Convert to feature objects.
  1. Select and make active the map coverage that will receive the feature objects from the GIS object.
  2. Switch to the GIS module.
  3. Select the Mapping | ArcObjects → Feature Objects command.
  4. Use the GIS to Feature Objects Wizard to map to convert the ArcObjects® to the map coverage.
2. Convert to geodatabase.
  1. Select the Mapping | Feature Objects → Geodatabase command.
  2. Save the geodatabase file.
