Hello everyone,
One issue we've consistently run into is that synchronizations and loading of web feature layers slow down significantly when there are many unique symbols involved. ArcGIS for AutoCAD creates a separate CAD layer for each unique symbol set. For example, we have a web feature layer with over 100 symbols defined by an attribute value, and this causes syncing and loading to become extremely slow.
Recently, we discovered that by updating the feature layer's definition and setting the typeIdField to a blank value, ArcGIS for AutoCAD imports the data without creating a separate layer for each symbol. This significantly improves both sync and load performance.
The definition update we made looks like this:
{ "typeIdField": "" }
So far, we've noticed that the symbology within Portal (ArcGIS Enterprise) remains unaffected. However, I wanted to ask the community:
Are there any potential side effects or unintended consequences we should be aware of when clearing the typeIdField like this?
Thanks in advance for your insights!
