To Link a Database Record to an Object

You can create a link between an object in the drawing and a record in a database table.

To link a record to an object manually

  1. Open a linked database table in the Data View.
  2. In the Data View window, select a record.
  3. In the Data View, click Links menu Link Records To Objects.
  4. Select the objects in your drawing. Press Enter.
    Note: If you are linking data to a polygon and plan to use the data with topology functions, be sure to link the data to the centroid of the polygon. Topology functions do not use data linked to the polygon border.
