This command works with either Interior Text or Entity Handles. The initial choice of which to work with determines which dialog is displayed. In either case, the dialog box displays Tables from the Output MDB on the left, and the available Fields from that Table on the right. The use of Text gives the option of creating new GIS polylines on a specified layer by taking each text entity and creating a closed polyline around the text from the selected linework, using the text value as a field in the GIS data. If this option is not selected, the GIS data is added to existing polylines. Using Handles does not allow for the option to create new polylines.
