Connect to raster images and surfaces, or use the Raster Extension
feature.
■ Attribute data
Join additional attributes to GIS features, or add attributes to drawing
objects using database linking or object data.
■ Data from AutoCAD Civil 3D
Export Civil 3D feature data, such as parcels and alignments, in SDF
format. Connect to the resulting SDF file in AutoCAD Map 3D. You
can also save surfaces as DEMs in Civil 3D and connect to the resulting
DEM files in AutoCAD Map 3D. You can also bring in LandXML files
using the Survey feature.
■ Survey Data
Create a new survey data store and then bring in LandXML or ASCII point
data.
■ Create Display Manager layers.
Geospatial data that you add to your map is automatically organized into
display layers by feature class. You can also add drawing data to layers.
Layers give you control over draw order (Z-order), styling, and more.
