AutoCAD Map 3D 2009 Geospatial Platform Reference

AutoCAD Map 3D Geospatial Platform API

Stream resource data is stored as a binary stream in the repository database.

Note:
This is not valid with AutoCAD Map 3D. It works with MapGuide only.
Remarks:
Streams provide quick access to smaller data sets like symbol libraries. They are not intended for data streams larger than a few megabytes. Large data sets should be stored as files.
