Associate Database Versions dialog box
Use this dialog box to set options related to database versions and file extensions.
To associate database versions with files extensions (page 243)
Click Map Setup tab Map panel angle-arrow.
NOTE This functionality applies only to an attribute data source that you use with
drawing objects. For information about attribute data for geospatial features, see
Overview of Joins (page 507).
You can associate a database file extension with the version of the database
software that you use to edit the file. When you drop a database file on the Map
Explorer tab of the Task Pane, AutoCAD Map 3D checks the file extension and
uses the specified version of the database software.
Always Prompt
Select this option if you use more than one type of database. Each time you
drop a database file onto the Map Explorer tab, AutoCAD Map 3D will prompt
for the version of the database software to use with the file.
