To Import an Esri SHP File
- Select File > Import > Geospatial File Types > Shapefile (*.shp). The Import dialog opens.
- Select the file(s) to import. You can select multiple files in multiple folders. You can also select the files in ProjectWise.
- For each input file, you can use a Template named as its shapefile name. You can modify these defaults by selecting any existing Template using the drop-down. For each template, the application will display the Item Type specified in the Template.
- You can enable the option to flip the X and Y axes. It is sometimes necessary to correct badly created files that do not follow the definition of the coordinate system in which they are created.
- When all parameters are set as required, the Import button will run the import.
