About loading data in ArcMap

The Object Loader wizard in ArcMap allows you to specify a number of source tables and feature classes, provided their schema match. It also allows you to specify which fields in the input data are loaded into which fields of the target feature class or table.

In addition, the wizard lets you specify a query to limit the features loaded.

Some tips about the Object Loader

  • If the feature coordinates you're loading are not precisely located, you can choose to honor the current snapping environment, snapping coordinates as they load.
  • If you're loading into a feature class that has validation rules, such as attribute domain or geometric network connectivity rules, you can create a selection of the loaded features that are in violation of these rules.
  • If you're loading into a network feature class, ArcMap builds connectivity for you as each feature is added.
  • If you're loading into a feature class that has feature-linked annotation, ArcMap adds a record to the linked annotation feature class as each feature is added.
