Hello!

Happy New Year! New Year, new tasks

Is there a way to add new shapes (sdf) to existing shape files?

I have shape file with existing parcels and I need to add new parcels to it?

I would really appreciate quick respond!

Thanks,

Ania

Hi,

on Map-TaskPane right-click onto the GIS-layer of your SHP (where you want to add objects to) and select new object from geometry in the context-menu (hope that is correct translated from German).

It's not working - or rather, I cannot make it work :/

I connected existing shape (100 parcels) and new parcel (also shape, 1 parcel), right click on existing shape (in task pane), than clicked new feature from geometry and when i selected shape (existing shape - 1 new parcell- I wanted to add to existing shape files - 100 parcels) I have message '0 found'.

Sorry for long explanation and sorry if that's confusing but I hope that makes sense.

Thanks!

Hi,

if you want to copy all parcels from one SHP to another you may use bulk-copy (depending on the attributive structure of your data).

If you just want to add some of the parcels then convert the source-shapes to polylines and then select the polyline  for adding new geometry   instead the SHP-internal geometry-object.

"If you just want to add some of the parcels then convert the source-shapes to polylines"  - yes, that can be a solution.

Could you pelase advise as what it the best method of doing it?

I have some feature properties in shp which i need to keep.

Don't connect to the SHP via FDO/Map-TaskPane, instead use the command _MAPIMPORT and with that command convert the content of the source SHP-file to AutoCAD plane geometry.

Good luck, - alfred -

no luck, it crashes my Map :/

Hi,

>> no luck, it crashes my Map :/

at what step and with what message?

- alfred -

[#9]

after importing the shape and when I try to click on the shape and even when I only move mouse over it.

The message I get is attached.

Hi,

ok, I don't know what version of Map3D you are running, there was a version that had problems with MPolygons, maybe it's the source of the problem for you now.

What you can do then: the _MAPIMPORT dialog has (I think on the right-most of the tabs) a checkbox to import polygons as closed polylines, mark that, restart the import and try these elements then.

IMPORTANT: be careful for islands, because the default polylines don't know an island object like the MPolygon object does.

Additionally check for servicepacks!
