Attaching Excel file to existing shape file

I have an existing shape file that I have referenced in. It contains 5 attributes.  I also have a spreadsheet that contains more attributes. How do we link the two?

  • You can create a Join between the two.  The steps are included in the attached PDF file.



  • Is this going to be updated in future versions for a more direct process? We used to be able to directly join csv files, but that functionality is gone.

    If the above is the only method that works right now, can you clarify a couple of points?

    Step 3. "Create an ODBC Data Source (DSN) for Bentley Map." Can you explain this in detail, including navigating to the menu commands?

    Step 4. Create a VRT, use the help menu. Can you explain this in detail? When I open my help menu in my installed Bentley Map program, it opens up "MicroStation PowerDraft V8i" help instead of Map help, so I can't access the information.
