Spatial files
Access to a data table inside a spatial file
In Spatial Manager™ for GstarCAD you can access a data table from a spatial file using the right-click menu over the file item itself, over a table from the file, or over any UDS (“Standard” and “Professional” editions only) that refers to the file, in the “SpatialManager” palette, to import its content into a new or the current GstarCAD drawing. You can also double-click the file item itself, a table from the file, or any UDS (“Standard” and “Professional” editions only) that refers to the file, in the “SpatialManager” palette, to access and import its content into a new or the current GstarCAD drawing (this behaviour may be configured through the “Spatial Manager” tab in the “Options” window of GstarCAD or by running the SPMOPTIONS command).
To perform the import process of the data table, see: Import.
