ArcGIS in Auotcad

Question

I am using ArcGIS in Auotcad to connect to world imagery. I am only interested in 30cm resolution at any autocad viewport scale. Even if I select only 30cm resolution, If I zoom out, the resolution changes. I want to keep the 30cm resolution.

Any suggestions

I have updated the Bonus tools for ArcGIS for AutoCAD to include the functionality to create a mosaic or set of map tiles at higher resolution...  These bonus tools are found in their normal location on ArcGIS Online for free download:  http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=103f4d42de804f4ab42ff498026d9ddc

Yes, my suggestion would be to add the imagery twice or in your case a grid of 9 or more images.  In the past I had created an AutoLISP routine to build the matrix of these maps automatically, but you can do it manually.

To cover the 9 square miles you’d need nine, 3 square mile maps.  Or possibly more to cover you 10 sq mile area…   Each you would set to “on-demand” and you would have to keep track of the view to zoom in on each and refresh them individually.

You would be building a matrix of adjacent map services of the same map service.  World_Imagery, World_Imagery1, World_Imagery2, etc…

Its probably time to rewrite that lisp routine and make it available to people as a sample again.

I am using on Demand, I am trying to acquire 30cm resolution aerial images for a large area, for example 10miles by 10miles. Perhaps this size area you can not acquire that high of a resolution? If I only cover an area 3milesx3miles, I can get 30cm resolution.
