- Keeping the intelligence, such as object data and link templates, when moving data into vector-based GIS, is critical for data integrity. You will load multiple objects into the GIS data set in this lesson. In this case we have a new sub-division of autoCAD objects with object data, and we need to move them into the parcels SDF. So lets drag the parcels SDF into our current drawing. Under view, we're going to click on new subdivision. So you'll see that the parcels do not have that new subdivision yet, and what we need to do is take these autoCAD objects, and convert them into the SDF with the same data set. If we look at the parcels, we'll notice that in the data table we've got ID, street name and street no, and hopefully the object data matches those names. So lets make sure it does. So if we pick on that individual object right there that's an autoCAD object, and we look at the object data, yes, ID…
