Attaching Object Data to an Object

Concept

After you define an object data table, you can associate it with one or more objects. When you attach object data to an object, Autodesk Map creates a new record in the selected table and attaches the record to the object. You can create more than one record for each object, and you can attach records from more than one table to an object. You can attach object data in these ways:

Attach object data manually to selected objects by specifying the data values for each object. Automatically create and attach object data based on existing block attributes or text in the drawing. Attach object data as you digitize objects .

When you attach object data to queried objects, Autodesk Map prompts you to add the object to the save set.
