Feature layer symbology ArcGIS for AutoCAD

Question

I am using the ArcGIS for AutoCAD plugin. I am importing feature layers from ArcGIS Enterprise to edit in AutoCAD. However, when I import the layers, the predefined symbology does not come through. Instead, I just get small circles. Is there a way to keep the predefined symbology from Enterprise in AutoCAD? Thanks

Hello there!  I am real new to all of this so I am hoping you would answer a simple question for me.   When you said "If you need the GIS symbology ArcGIS for AutoCAD supports Adding the map service"  do we need arcgis enterprise in order to publish a map service?

I see how to make a webmap easily in arcgis online but I am thinking this is a different thing than a map service? Is that correct?

Having the GIS symbology as CAD features is not in the product plan. The ability to add the map service to autocad that has an image of the symbology is currently possible with the plugin.

Thanks for the clarification Randy. Do you know if this functionality will be added to ArcGIS for AutoCAD in a future update?
