To import USGS SDTS DLG files by attribute:

  • Use the Map | Base Map command, and specify one of the [.DDF] files in the hydrography DLG, and click Open to display the SDTS-TVP Import Options dialog. 
  • In the Selection Criteria group, change the By Attribute Name from (ALL) to ENTITY_LABEL, and enter the attribute code (major plus minor code) in the Value edit box. 
    • Lakes are 0500421
    • Rivers are 0500412
    • Rapids are 0500400.
