autocad map 3d - trasformare categorie of database in layer

[sauro82]

hello to all:smile:
I do not know whether the following is a question of gis or autocad map 3d:

the file I am using (a shapefile with its .dbf database support files, etc...) has only one layer for geometries (closed polylines and related retinals), which describes all soil consumption. In the database table there is the only column I need, that is the one that notes the use of every geometric shape.
Is there a way (in autocad map 3d) to easily transform the various categories of the column into layers or anyway to create a layer type organization?

I tried to extract geometries from each category and then import each category individually in autocad, but it is too long work. :frown:

thanks in advance to those who will help me

problem solved with the help of the tristan user of treddi.com, which I thank also here.

this is the tutorial you did to explain the procedure:

in the end a user of this forum, gimmigis, responded indirectly to me via tristan.

I'm taking the post here, maybe it's for someone in the future. :wink:

"Good idea to show the operation of map 3d queries, which are really powerful.

but I would suggest here a method that allows you to get the same result much faster.

in the import window click the field under layers of cards and then press the button that appears on the right of the field.

in the opening window, you can immediately define that the target layer is created using the values of a field attributes you choose.
in your example the legend field.

Have fun!

the procedure is valid only if you start from a shapefile (as in my case)
