Using ArcGIS for AutoCAD to access ArcGIS Online data

JonBokic — Sat, 09 Dec 2017 00:35:25 GMT

Our company has an ArcGIS online account we use to enter data from the field, via Collector, and to integrate with our GIS environment. What we would like to do is also access this information, and other webmap services created in ArcGIS Online, from our CAD environment (specifically AutoCAD/Map 3D/Civil 3D). We did try going through technical support and seeing if this could be accessed using ArcGIS for AutoCAD but it doesn't have the capability (Esri Case #01996591). Is this something that could be easily added to in the future?

Jon,

That's an interesting question and I'm not sure where you would find the best answer. I am tagging these groups to hopefully get more visibility:

Add my vote for this functionality. The ability to access hosted layers from ArcGIS Online or Portal would be an important feature to allow us to fully implement ArcGIS for AutoCAD into our workflows.

If this is something that is not implemented and not on any road map, I'd suggest adding it to the https://community.esri.com/community/arcgis-ideas?sr=search&searchId=7c96c64f-55e7-40cc-a97b-a937e8a6dc25&searchIndex=0‌ area.

Anyone know if this has been addressed yet? We are trying to use ArcGIS for CAD to connect to ArcGIS Online hosted feature services.
Thanks!
Todd

Hi all,

This is still something that is under consideration. If you'd like to raise awareness, I invite you to contact Esri Support Services to get added to the enhancement log:

ENH-000088243: Allow for services published to an ArcGIS Online organization to be consumed in ArcGIS for AutoCAD.

Kind regards,

Earl

How can i support this enhancement, this would be a very good improvement.

Thanks for the nice comments! We agree that this is critical functionality. Support for Map Layers and Feature Layers on AGOL and portals is planned for the next release of ArcGIS for AutoCAD.

This is excellent, thank you!

Yes Karen, completely agree that would be an excellent improvement, can you offer a rough ETA on next release of ArcGIS for AutoCAD?

Thanks!

It's pretty slick. I think you'll like it. We'll be showing it off at the User Conference in San Diego. Should be available for download shortly after, actual date not yet determined.

Thanks Karen, this is great news!

Just to be clear, we should be able to read and edit ArcGIS online feature layers from ArcGIS for AutoCAD when this new release comes out?

Re: Using ArcGIS for AutoCAD to access ArcGIS Online data

KarenHodge — Thu, 13 Jun 2019 14:35:18 GMT

Yes Maryse. With the next release of ArcGIS for AutoCAD, you'll be able to connect to ArcGIS Online (or your enterprise portal) and add feature layers published there.

Re: Using ArcGIS for AutoCAD to access ArcGIS Online data

GD — Thu, 13 Jun 2019 17:15:57 GMT

I understand we will be able to add feature layers to AutoCAD, but will we be able to edit and publish modifications back to ArcGIS Online?

Re: Using ArcGIS for AutoCAD to access ArcGIS Online data

KarenHodge — Thu, 13 Jun 2019 17:37:11 GMT

Ahh...I see your confusion! Yes...you'll be able to "add" the feature layer into your AutoCAD drawing. If the layer supports editing, then you'll be able to modify the geometry or the attributes within AutoCAD and synchronize your changes back to the web feature layer. If the publisher of the layer doesn't allow editing, you'll still be able to see the geometry and attributes, but won't be able to synchronize any changes.

In either case, you'll also be able to extract the information...so you'll have a local snapshot of the information from the layer at a specific point in time.

Fantastic! What type of ArcGIS Online licence will be needed in order to synchronize changes to ArcGIS online from AutoCAD? Will AGOL Editor be sufficient?

Re: Using ArcGIS for AutoCAD to access ArcGIS Online data

KarenHodge — Fri, 21 Jun 2019 13:58:06 GMT

Yes. That will be fine!

Hi Karen

Do you have any idea when the plugin should be coming out?

I think the user conference ended a few weeks ago...

Thanks!

We're still working on it. Looks like later in the fall. No concrete dates yet.

Any updates on this release?
