If so, this technique does not work. you have to follow the procedure in the post. it is possible to theme data imported "the old fashioned way" but i dont spell it out here. I only explain how to do using the data connection method.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17796379629733984760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14401064.post-8760042132978932692007-09-10T19:16:00.000-04:002007-09-10T19:16:00.000-04:00Hi,I was looking at the details on Map import of s...Hi,<BR/><BR/>I was looking at the details on Map import of shape files. After bringing in a shape file I couldn't do all the fancy themes etc. that you talked about.<BR/>The shape file is a landownership file. It comes in on one layer that doesn't even show up in the display menu. All I can do is change the color of the lines in the layer menu. I can also pick the lines (polygons) and in the properties menu get all the data that comes with the line e.g. area.,<BR/>but alas , I can't seem to to the fancy themes or annotation stuff. What am I doing wrong?<BR/><BR/>I import the shapefile, set the projection that it was created in, choose to import attribute data and import all closed areas as polygons. It comes in just fine but then nothing else seems to go right. Currently I'm in Civil 3d 2008.<BR/><BR/>Any help would be great as creating themes sound relly fun.<BR/><BR/>Thanks in advance for any help.<BR/><BR/>KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14401064.post-1160670794879083712006-10-12T12:33:00.000-04:002006-10-12T12:33:00.000-04:00Thanks!

I never slowed down long enough to investigate the Map box or how it could make my life easier. When I get a chance, I'll play around with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
