Import .SHP Shapefiles

Follow these steps to import shapefiles (.shp) from Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) into Object Manager.

Source Feature Type catalogs include Esri ASCII GRID and Esri Shape.

Note: To avoid errors when importing data from an ESRI shapefile, the coordinate system specified in your project must match the coordinate system specified in the shapefile.
