Hello Ted, We believe what you are describing is based on an ArcGIS Desktop client workflow where there is one table of contents. While there is logic to this one table of contents all polylines, points, polygons and basemaps are added to this one table. However, the user has the ability to rearrange the layers to create the best map as needed. ArcGIS for AutoCAD has the Esri Contents UI which simply separates the map/image layers from the feature layers from the document feature layers. In this scenario the map/image layers appear to be on "top" of the feature layers, but the feature layers have a predefined drawing order to be on the top of any map/image layers as they should be when working with these GIS layers. If I am off topic here please provide more detail as to what the issue and or idea you are looking for is.

Hello Ted, When we are within the ArcGIS for AutoCAD's "Manage Portals" UI we can add new ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS Online connections. Once the new Organization has been added by entering the URL a new tile is added displaying the details. On this same tile we can click the blue "Sign In" button to sign in as well. In the image below a red box surrounds this blue button. We then see the green checkmark/circle indicating the connection is active. The blue button is also displaying "Sign Out". AFA Manage Portals If we then close the "Manage Portals" UI and click the blue "Sign In" button (this could be a blue profile button instead) in the upper right of the "Add Data" UI we can also see the list of available organizations and if they are active. Blue sign in is displayed as profile The ability to set a default organization is a valid idea I have added to the AFA development board. This is an idea we want to do, just not in the immediate plans to implement. Thank you for the idea.

Hello Ted, Perhaps I am not understanding the question, but from what I do know filtering map, feature and image layers is already possible within the Add Data UI of ArcGIS for AutoCAD. By default all three layer types are selected and there are 18 layers available. Default layer filter. After selecting the layer type I need as I believe you are describing I still have 18 available layers: Selecting the Feature Layers type However, after selecting the layer type I want to filter I then click the Apply button and now I only have eight Feature Layers available. Feature layer filter applied I hope this helps.

Hello Ted, Thank you for using ArcGIS for AutoCAD. The ability to add layers by their layerID has been available for quite some time. Would you mind providing more details (screen captures and errors) of this behavior you are seeing please? If any of the layers you are working with are public can you provide the URL(s) so we can test in-house too.

Hello Tomas, Thank you for using ArcGIS for AutoCAD! Other than the minor question here I am glad to hear your published services are working well for you. With the information provided in your post I am curious how the layer(s) were published and from where? I ask because when you publish from ArcGIS Pro we can dictate how our feature classes will display, color, size, etc. so, I wonder how the feature classes were symbolized before publishing. On the other side I also wondering if perhaps any new objects/features were drawn in the CAD file on Layer 0 (which has the default color of white). Another words, what are the colors of the "footprints", "room" and Interior Walls" in both ArcGIS and AutoCAD? If you can go into a little more detail and add screen captures we can continue discussing this topic. As for the secondary question about a definition query to display just the features that reside on level 1, 2, 3, etc. I would highly recommend you log a case with Esri Technical Support to work on this. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hey Michele, It appears the new attachments are stuck in virus scan mode. Can you send me a private message with your email address? I can then schedule a meeting for us to get together perhaps tomorrow late afternoon your time or Wednesday.

Hello Michele, You mention build 350 in your initial post so, if we are in contention with this version or maybe 370 I cannot say where either of these folders might be since you simply just unzip the file and use netload back in those days so the ArcGIS for AutoCAD files could be anywhere on your system. Since build 400+ the installation is required to go to the specific folder we are discussing here so, if say build 400.2 is installed we need to use the Windows Control Panel to uninstall. The installer for 400+ only looks for the presence of AFA in the application list to see if it is there or not. I also just noticed build 400.2 is selected in 777.jpg. I hope we want to install build 410 instead. 1) Please provide a screen capture of the application list within the Windows Control Panel. 2) Please provide a screen capture of the Windows File Explorer drilled down to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins. 3) Just in case please also include a picture of the ApplicationPlugins folder under (x86) too.

‎06-27-2022

Perhaps you already have an older build of ArcGIS for AutoCAD installed. If so, please use the Windows "Control Panel" > "Programs and Features" to uninstall the existing one first. Then install the latest build, 410. Here is the resource document: Install ArcGIS for AutoCAD I look forward to hearing from you!

Hey, I appreciate the screen captures. I think they are going to help us solve this behavior. I have never actually looked under (x86) folder before, but I do have the same as you at least for the folder we need, ApplicationPlugins. We really care about the folder for 64-bit applications and your provided image on this, 123.jpg, indicate the folder we need is spelled wrong. In the image there is an extra "s" in the folder name. This is unlike the (x86) folder which is image 345.jpg. The folder name should be: "ApplicationPlugins"

Hello Ali, Thank you for using ArcGIS for AutoCAD! This should be a really simple fix to get those elevations on each contour line within Civil 3D. To display the contour lines within Civil 3D, or most any Autodesk product we need to fill in the Elevation values for each contour. Although this value does not come across when converted from ArcGIS for 2D polylines we should have a column labeled "Contours" or "Elevation" and in this column will be the contours height values for these 2D polylines from ArcGIS. 1) We can simply run an ArcGIS for AutoCAD command, "Esri_ElevateToField", to Programmatically set those elevation values we need in the Autodesk product of choice. Then when you manipulate the drawing to a 3D view the contours will be on their correct elevation. If by chance after running this command you still have issues please provide screen captures of the Attribute Table from ArcGIS Pro and also ArcGIS for AutoCAD. This should get you up and running, but if not please let us know.

Hello Michele, Thank you for using ArcGIS for AutoCAD! I am sorry to hear that your ArcGIS for AutoCAD installation fails. I am not sure the folder listed contains enough detail for us to determine your computer has the correct location or not so, let's go over a few things. 1) Are we using basic AutoCAD or are we using a vertical such as Civil 3D or Map 3D? 2) The current build of ArcGIS for AutoCAD is 410 released May 4, 2022. You can download it for free here: ArcGIS for AutoCAD is installed into the %ProgramFiles%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins folder. If this folder is missing or not accessible by the current user, ArcGIS for AutoCAD cannot be installed. On my computer this location is C:\Program Files\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins. 3) It sounds like there is a good chance the folder, "ApplicationPlugins", is missing from the machine C:\Program Files\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins. Please create this folder and then try to install ArcGIS for AutoCAD again. This should get you up and running, but if not please let us know.

Hello Julius, I would like to thank you for using ArcGIS for AutoCAD, however, I do apologize for the behavior you are running in to. To get started on this sync issue we are having let's first make sure we are running the latest build of ArcGIS for AutoCAD, which is 410. It is indicated above we are actually running a 400.x build so first I would like us to uninstall your existing build and then install the latest build. You can download the free plug-in here. Some additional help from the Online documentation follows: ArcGIS for AutoCAD system requirements Install ArcGIS for AutoCAD There is no mention of where this web layer resides (ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise) or what version if on ArcGIS Enterprise. I want to include the following resource in case you are using ArcGIS Enterprise and it is version 10.7.0 or earlier for this upgrade. Register ArcGIS for AutoCAD on ArcGIS Enterprise 10.7.0 and earlier portals Once we are running build 410 open the drawing from your screen capture above and just click synchronize with no edits waiting. If the synchronization works fine we can then add a new line somewhere in the drawing and then try to sync again. What happens? Kind regards,

410 release of ArcGIS for AutoCAD The primary enhancements in this release are the introduction of sharing document feature layers as hosted web feature layers, and improvements in standardized ways to create document feature layers from drawing templates. This release included the addition of AutoLISP routines designed to assist in the automation of common editing tasks, enriched user interfaces, improved help documentation, and software bug fixes. New functionality Share document feature layers as hosted web feature layers to collaborate with GIS and field workflows. AutoCAD block properties persist during synchronize. Nonlinked block attributes and rotation are preserved after synchronization. Document feature layers can now be renamed in the feature layer properties user interface by editing the feature layer name edit box. Create feature tools to assist in the proper placement of new features on the correct layer, accessed from the Esri Contents pane action buttons of a feature layer and the Esri_FeatureLayer command. Linked text labels can be generated from the field values of features using the Esri_GenerateLabel/-Esri_GenerateLabel commands that will invoke the generate labels user interface, or the command line version. The Esri_PickLabel command in this release now supports the text of dimension entities (read-only). Industry standard data creation templates have been added to help jump start the creation of common data sets. The new Esri_ElevateToField command has been added to allow you modify the elevation of features to numeric field values, such as the elevation value of 2D GIS contour lines. Blocks can be applied to document feature layers in addition to web point feature layers using the Apply option of the Esri_FeatureLayer command or Apply Symbol context menu option of the Esri Contents user interface. User interface changes Add Data Experience includes better portal search and browsing, including better organization of groups, and new data creation templates for setting up common GIS data schema and symbology. Quick access to the Esri Maps collection is now a separate ribbon button. The Esri Contents pane can access more functionality through action buttons and new context menu options. Sorting by field values has been implemented in the attribute table user interface. ArcGIS for AutoCAD AutoLISP functions (esri_label_generate)—AutoLISP function to used to automate the placement of linked text labels (esri_featurelayer_share)—AutoLISP function used to share document feature layers as hosted web feature layers (esri_label_set)—AutoLISP function to link existing text entities to feature attribute field values (esri_maplayer_extract)—AutoLISP function to automate the extraction of dynamic map and image layer images as static AutoCAD image entities (esri_featurelayer_selectspecial)—AutoLISP function to select features by complex criteria such as being flagged as modified or inside or geometric type Download here.

Hello Michal, Thanks for reaching out through the ArcGIS for AutoCAD group here in the Esri Community. Also, thanks so much for using the product! So, both provided URLs work fine in our deployments in the office here, but something we noticed just by reviewing those provided URLs is that one is HTTP while the other is HTTPS. Given the HTTP version is giving you trouble at work I suggest trying the following URL first: This is the same URL you provided but with HTTPS: https://gis.nature.cz/arcgis/rest/services/ObecnaOchrana/USES/MapServer If you are still having issues let's try to export that Map Service from the REST Service itself here: http://gis.nature.cz/arcgis/rest/services/ObecnaOchrana/USES/MapServer/export?bbox=-906771.5727172121,-1122662.4787663936,-442590.38190573646,-928203.593987705 Export Map is listed under "Supported Operations:" at the bottom of the page you provided for each service. We look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Dan

DESCRIPTION: In some instances, the ApplicationPlugins folder for Autodesk products is not created so when the ArcGIS for AutoCAD installer performs its checks it might present the user with a notification: ArcGIS for AutoCAD halted installation notification. "ArcGIS for AutoCAD setup requires Autodesk AutoCAD. Please refer to the installation notes for more information." CAUSE: The folder, "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins", is not created when the Autodesk product is installed. SOLUTION: Create the missing folder then rerun the ArcGIS for AutoCAD installation. 1) Open Windows File Explorer. 2) Navigate to C:\Program Files\Autodesk. 3) Create the missing folder, "ApplicationPlugins", here. NOTE: This action might require Administrator privileges. 4) Now run the ArcGIS for AutoCAD setup once again. Related Links: Install of ArcGIS for AutoCAD ArcGIS for AutoCAD
