What can you do with a finished map?
You can share maps even with viewers who do not have access to AutoCAD
Map 3D. For example, you can share maps in the following ways:
Print maps
Save maps as DWFs (which can be viewed with Autodesk Design Review,
available from the Autodesk web site)
Publish maps to MapGuide
Convert all the data to AutoCAD DWG data
Post maps on the web
Publish to a MapGuide server to share a map on the web.
AutoCAD cannot read some information in an AutoCAD Map 3D file, such
as links to external spatial data. To share a map with an AutoCAD user, convert
all the data in your map to DWG format, including data from spatial data
stores.
