AutoCAD Map 3D: FDO Overview

AutoCAD Map 3D provides data-access and data-management tools to make the process of integrating different types of data easier. In particular, FDO data providers and a consistent data-connect interface simplifies access and management of multiple feature sources. With AutoCAD Map 3D, you can extend your existing workflows and take advantage of efficiencies created through geospatial tools and store some of your information in a spatial data store, such as SDF. Also, you can augment your maps (DWG or other) by bringing in data from a variety of formats, including free data sources, such as web services (WMS and WFS).
