Copy Features from an FDO Feature Source to a DGN File

AutoCAD Map 3D Workflow

 
Copy Features from an FDO Feature Source to a DGN File
 
 
 

Get features and related attributes from a database and export them to DGN 8 format.

NoteThe coordinate system for the map will automatically match your database. You don't need to assign a coordinate system to the map itself, unless you want to transform the data to a different coordinate system. Generally, you should edit in the same coordinate system as your database. If the data is in different coordinate systems, edit one layer at a time so you are always editing in a coordinate system that matches your data.
 
 
 

Open or create a new drawing using a map template

   

Set up the database to work with AutoCAD Map 3D and assign the proper privileges and credentials

   

Each feature class you choose becomes a display layer in the map

   

Filter a display layer to display a subset of the features in your map

   

Save each display layer as an SDF file

   

Open or create a new drawing using a map template

   

Import the SDF files to convert the SDF data to DWG data

   

Use AutoCAD styling features to change the appearance of the drawing objects

   

Export the styled DWG objects to MicroStation Design Version 8
