I am currently running AutoCAD Map 2012. I am trying to display consensus boundaries on a dwg. I have attached SHP Connection. I have the data displaying on the dwg as a map feature. When I click on the map feature polygon it gives me all the feature properties information i need in the properties window. My question is: Is there a way to display all that "Feature Properties" information on the face of the map as txt? I would like it to show the txt within the polyline after Import the shape file so a user who doesn't have AutoCAD Map can see what each boundary is.

	Sorry for the late reply. 1._mapimport-Choose your file you want to import 2.Select coordinate system. Then pick on data in that window. Select "Create Object data" and hit "ok" then click on "import polygons as closed polylines". Select "OK" 3. Then Zoom Extents 4. In the task pane under the display manager right click on Map Base then go to Data==>Add Drawing Data==>Query Current Drawing 5.I then select location make sure all is selected then hit ok and ok again 6. Now right click on current drawing element in the task pane again. Select add style and text. 7. Right click text style and select properties. 8.In your properties dialog select text label button. then expand object data then expand next field then choose the label you want. 9. Go back to your properties and change the height and it should then center on the screen.
