Exercise 3: Query in data from the drawing
When you attach a drawing to a map, objects in the drawing do not appear
in the map immediately. You must query them in. The drawing file you
attached is a map of California with polygons defined for each county. Since
the city of Redding is in Shasta County, you add the Shasta County boundaries
to your map. You can query in data based on location, properties, or data. In
this case, query the name of the county, which is stored as object data.
NOTE
This exercise uses the BuildMap1.dwg map you created and modified in the
previous exercises.
