1. Convert GIS objects to a map coverage.
1. Convert raster data to feature objects.
Converting raster data to feature objects can be done in one of two ways:
  1. Right-click on the raster data and select Convert To | Feature Objects which will create a new map coverage with arcs along all contours.
  2. Right-click on the raster data and select Convert To | Feature Objects at Elevation and enter a contour elevation to create arcs in a new coverage along the specified elevation.
2. Convert shapefile data to feature objects.
  1. Select a shapefile dataset in the GIS module and use the Mapping | Shape→Feature Objects command.
  2. Use the GIS to Feature Objects Wizard to specify how the shapefile attribute will be converted.
2. Convert a scatter dataset to a map coverage.
1. Convert a scatter contour value to a map coverage.
  1. Select the Data | Scatter Contour→Feature command.
  2. Use the Create Contour Arcs dialog to create arcs along the contour elevation into an existing coverage.
2. Convert scatter boundaries to a map coverage.
  1. Select the Data | Boundary→Feature command.
  2. Use the Select Coverage dialog to create a new coverage for the arcs or have the boundary arcs created on an existing coverage.
