A data model stores the structure of the
industry model template
. It defines the feature classes, rules, and so on that govern the behavior of the drawing.
To import an industry data model into a drawing or template file
When you open a template or drawing file that does not contain an industry data model, you are prompted to create one or specify an existing one to use. This procedure assumes you are importing a SQLite model you previously exported. To create a new data model instead, see About Industry Model Templates.
For information on exporting a SQLite file, see To Export an Industry Model to a SQLite File.
