Lesson 3: Move SDF Data to a Different Geospatial Format

Use Bulk Copy to move the Roads data in your map from the SDF format it currently uses to ESRI SHP format.

While SDF files can contain multiple feature classes, each SHP file can contain only a single feature class. The Bulk Copy operation creates a set of new SHP files in a folder that you create.

Note:

You can use Bulk Copy to move data between geospatial formats, but you cannot use it to move data to or from DWG format.

Note:

This exercise uses the map you created with the map2d.dwt template and modified in Lesson 2: Using the Resulting SDF Files.
