To Bring in Features from FGDB

You can access the spatial and attribute data from the ESRI file geodatabase (FGDB).

  1. In Display Manager, click DataConnect To Data.
  2. In the Data Connect window, select Add FGDB Connection in the Data Connections By Provider list.
  3. Under Connection Name, type a name for this connection.
  4. Under Source File, specify the location of the file.
  5. Click Connect.
  6. In the feature class list, select the feature classes to include in the map.

    If this feature source contains only a single feature class, that feature class is selected automatically. If it contains multiple feature classes, you can right-click any of them and choose Select All or Select None.

  7. Verify that the coordinate systems are correct. You can change an incorrect coordinate system, if necessary.
  8. Click Add To Map.

    To bring in a subset of the data, click the Down Arrow and select Add To Map With Query.
