We noticed recently that when our users bring imagery services into CAD using the plugin, the transparency is set by default to 30%. I'd be interested to hear the logic on this.... I understand that the users can adjust that, but it seems like an additional step. Is there a simple "no touch / low touch" way to make the imagery services default to 0 transparency? See attached image showing example: We publish our own imagery services and create new imagery of our sites quarterly. In some cases we use world imagery or other services to surround our site, versus having our image appear as an island in a white ocean. If our imagery service by default comes in at 30%, you can "see through" the service to the outdated basemap imagery. While this may not be an issue for most people, we are a mining company and our sites change significantly between flights, even quarterly.

This would be great! Filtering ANY layer by attributes would be extremely helpful for us!! We create many additional services for our CAD users so they are seeing the most recent / current data when there is a need to keep the historic features. Eg. We are a mining company and have a feature layer of our permits, with and attribute of the created / edited dates and when changes are made. Permits on a mine site change sometimes annually, and we need to keep a record of what it "used to be". In pro / webmaps, its easy to view the current permit by filtering out older permits by date. Our CAD users load the same layer, and have 6 permits on displaying in their CAD map. We have gotten around this by publishing an additional service of the "active" permits.

multi-user deployment with favorites? · ‎08-19-2021

I'm curious if anyone has used any type of group deployment to multiple users of this plugin without going to each users machine and installing? If so, were you able to install the plugin and also share coordinate system favorites? We have about 20 CAD users, that i would love to somehow automate the installation of this plugin, and go ahead and star their favorite CS! Thanks- John

I have successfully loaded build 370 into AutoCAD 2020. Can someone give me some specifics on how to get it to "stick"? When i close AutoCAD and open it again it is no longer there. I know i can go back to Netload, and reload the .dll.... but i'd like to have it automatically load each time i open autocad. Thanks!

Did you ever find a resolution to this? I am having a similar problem; I can't get more than one CAD file into the GDB. I have tried multiple times just using the tool, and even building a simple model. Very frustrating.... esri?

I would be really interested in a true "Multiple Layouts" functionality as well. I thought the same thing when i read about the data driven layouts and was disappointed to see that you can't have multiple layouts. That would be a killer feature that i would use all the time! John
