How can I load a data table from a spatial file into a Map in Spatial Manager Desktop™?
You can load a data table from a spatial file using the right-click menu over the file item itself, over a table from the file or over any UDS that refers the file, in the "Data sources" panel, to load its content into a new or existing Map. You can also double-click over the file item itself, over a table from the file or over any UDS that refers the file, in the "Data sources" panel, to load its content into a new or existing Map (this behaviour may be configured in the application settings)
To learn some other interesting ways (drag and drop or openning from Windows explorer) to load spatial data from files, take a look at Drag and drop of SHP, KML, GPX, etc., files to a Map
How can I open directly the folder containing a file in Spatial Manager Desktop™?
