Exercise 2: Import the SDF layers
When you connected to the SDF file you created earlier in this tutorial, you
brought in its data as geospatial features. Each feature class was a separate
Display Manager layer. However, in this lesson you
import the SDF data as
drawing objects, and each feature class becomes a separate drawing layer.
NOTE This exercise uses the map you created with the DWGImportTemplate.dwt
template and the SDF file you created in Lesson 1: Convert Drawing Layers to
Feature Classes (page 250).
To import SDF layers
1 In the Tool-based Ribbon Workspace, click Home tab

4 In the Import dialog box, check Import Polygons As Closed Polylines.
5 Check that each Input Layer maps to the appropriate Drawing Layer.
