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 -
Hi,
>> no luck, it crashes my Map 😕
at what step and with what message?
- alfred -
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!
- alfred -
did you try "import polygons as closed polylines" - a checkbox in the mapimport command - to see if that makes a difference since you won't have the mpolygons?
Just a thought from looking at the image and seeing all of the polygons as filled shapes. closed polylines usually wouldn't be filled like that.

Hello again Everybody!
I wasn't here for a while - busy, busy, buy I was! (still am!)
could I please refresh the topic?
I have received 3 shape files with parcels information. In those files there are about 1000 parcels, each has got ID.
I also created additional shape with new parcels.
I also have access data base with additional information for those parcels.
I'm using data base to theme the plans I'm creating. The data base is updated regularly.
In order to theme plans properly I need to create new shape files with information from data base "build in them" therefore I need to create joints, export to new shapes and all of that would be easier if I only have one master shape file.
Exporting to CAD geometry is not an option bacause it looses the id.
Anyone has an idea?
I'm using Map 2012 but may use 2013 if it has got that functionality.
Thanks!
Ania
