- Selecting specific feature properties when importing Shapefiles

When importing shapefiles in Bentley Map CONNECT Edition, by default all associated feature properties are imported.

However, Map Interoperability does allow you to control which properties are transferred.

Steps to follow:

1) In Bentley Map CONNECT Edition, go to File> Import > Shapefiles
Browse to the location of your Shapefile and select the Shapefile> Click Done

2) Map Interoperability dialog opens, under the Import Node you will see the Shapefile that you selected
Right‐click on the feature, and Select Show Properties> Ungrouped.

3) Expand the feature to display all associated properties and uncheck the properties that you do not want to import with the feature.

4) Right-Click on Import Node and select Import to start the process.

The Shapefile is imported in Active DGN only with the checked feature properties.
