Map services always display behind Civil 3D WMS layer?

Mark_Johnson · ‎03-03-2022

Since at this time ArcGIS for AutoCAD doesn't support WMS, I added an aerial photo WMS (in my case Nearmap) with Civil 3D tools (Planning and Analysis > Home > Connect > Add WMS Connection) and then added some feature and map services with ArcGIS for AutoCAD. I can't get the map services to display on top of the WMS aerial photo, they always draw behind it. Is there a setting in there somewhere to make this happen I'm not finding? Feature services are drawing on top of the WMS. Thanks

Hi Mark,

Sorry for the very slow reply. I missed this. There is no way to get it to draw on top, the way we draw maps is using an AutoCAD toolset that always forces it below everything. The one thing you can do is extract the map at the current view (in the table of contents you can extract the map). This will create a PNG of the map that will then just be another feature in autocad that you apply draw order to, the problem is that it will no longer be dynamic.
