This command sets the current GIS Features and GIS Data Format.
The GIS Features file (.GIS) defines the structure of the GIS
features and their attributes. This file is set by the Define GIS
Features command.
The Data Format defines where the GIS data will be stored and
the file format. For Single File Type Database, the data is stored
in an external database in either SQLite format (.DB) or Microsoft®
Access (.MDB). Map Object Data is limited to Autocad Map 3D
only. Map object data is attached to individual object and
stored in tables in the drawing. Object data tables store
text and numerical information related to an object. The Esri
MSC Data stores the GIS data within the drawing file in a format
that both Carlson and Esri use. Esri added support for MSC from
ArcGIS V9.3. The ESRI MSC structure makes the DWG file a type of
geodatabase with all the feature definitions, GIS data and geometry
stored in the file. The SQLite/Spatialte stores date in
SQLite format(.sqlite) with spatial capabilities. The
SQLite/Spatialite DB can be added into QGIS layer.
Use Enable Store/Read Point GIS Data to/from SQLite (CRDB) File
to provide an easier transferal method to and from data used in
SurvCE/PC and Carlson Office products. The CRDB file format is
based on SQLite structures. The CRDB format contains the same data
as a CRD format but with extra information like GIS data and photos
links. If Enable Store/Read Point GIS Data to/from SQLite (CRDB)
File is OFF, the GIS data will be stored in a VTT format
file.
