Attribute map of polygon map

By creating an attribute map of a polygon map, the class name or ID of each polygon in the original map is replaced by the value, class or ID found in a certain column in an attribute table.

A polygon map using a Class or ID domain, can have extra attribute information on the classes or identifiers in the map. These attributes are stored in columns in an attribute table. The attribute table can be linked to the map to which it refers, or to the domain of the map. You can check whether an attribute table is linked to the polygon map or to its domain through the Properties dialog box of the map or the domain.
