You can also use the following options to share map data:
■ Export data to a GIS format and back into DWG format (page 1465).
■ Convert Display Manager styles to object properties (page 1459). This allows
you to share styled maps with users who do not have Display Manager (for
example, users of AutoCAD or a previous version of AutoCAD Map 3D).
Publishing Maps
When you publish a map or
map book (page 2067), AutoCAD Map 3D plots it
and sends it to an output format. For example, if you publish your map to a
plotter, you print a copy of the map. If you publish it to DWF, you create a
file containing the plotted map or map book.
