Bringing In Data
Overview of Bringing In Data
A map file in AutoCAD Map 3D is a specialized drawing (DWG) file in which
you can combine data from many sources. A map file holds all the information
required to create, edit, view, and publish your map, including the following:
■ AutoCAD drawing objects and information about attached drawing files
■ Attribute or point data stored in a spreadsheet or database that can be linked
to drawing objects
■ Information required to connect to databases like Oracle and ArcSDE
■ Information required to connect to geospatial features stored in a relational
database, such as Microsoft
®
SQL Server, SQL Server Spatial, Oracle
®
Spatial,
PostgreSQL/PostGIS, and MySQL
■ Information required to connect to geospatial features stored in a geospatial
data file format, such as an ESRI
®
SHP, Microsoft
®
SQLite, or Autodesk
®
SDF
file
■ Information required to connect to geospatial features stored in middleware,
such as ESRI
®
ArcSDE
®
■ Information required to connect to web-based resources such as WFS (Web
Feature Service) sites and WMS (Web Map Service) sites
■ Information needed to connect to raster images, including
DEM (page 2059)
surfaces that show elevation
■ Metadata
■ Styling information
