Hello Steve, Based on my understanding of your request a few things come to mind. You can use the Select features by attributes tool which is just like the tool in ArcGIS Pro. Now this tool only allows the user to select features of a given "query". Since you want to display certain features based on this work order number I think what we want here is to add the feature layer based on a query. This is going to work as long as the work order number is a field in the attribute table of the layer. There are two ways to do this. The first is through the AutoLISP function esri_webfeaturelayer_add (AutoLISP). This function takes the REST endpoint URL or the URL with the portal ItemID as well as a definition query as arguments so that only features matching the query are added to the drawing. If you would rather perform this task using a dialog then you can do the same with the up and coming update to the "Add data by URL" dialog. If you want to "ask" the CAD user what the work order is then I suspect you will prefer the AutoLISP method and you can ask the user for the URL as well and have the programmatic aspect you are looking for. Thanks for using ArcGIS for AutoCAD! ... View more

Hello Kara, Apologies on the delayed response. I understand you are working with CAD data however, I believe from the information provided there is a filter or setting in this self deployed web application that is misfiring on the feature layer. I am not sure how we can move your topic to another community section, like ArcGIS Online to start, but another suggestion might be to contact Esri Technical Support for assistance here too. ...

Hello Brittany, First, thank you for using ArcGIS for AutoCAD (AFA) for your organizations workflows. AFA creates separate AutoCAD layers for each subtype. You can then use AutoCAD tools to symbolize those layers (setting layer, colors, etc). If you want to symbolize by a domain there is no easy way to do that but a tool like Select by Attributes will let you select everything that is of a certain subtype and domain. You can then use that selection to symbolize the data as you would like. Given you are new to CAD I will state that in order to "draw" or represent those GIS symbols AutoCAD blocks will need to be created which can then be applied to these WFL. Naming the blocks the same as the AFA layer names will aid in the automation of placing these blocks. Although some additional work will be required given there is a domain for the primaryType. The following help document should also help with this workflow and understanding: Feature layer symbols Feature layer symbols > Point feature symbols I hope this helps.   ... View more

Hello Johnny, ArcGIS for AutoCAD does not have any specific tools to handle ground to grid. Any conversion or offset values would need to be included in a prj file. You might already be aware, but ArcGIS Pro has a few help documents on this topic: Introduction to ground to grid correction Use ground to grid corrections I would suggest posting an idea on this topic in the AFA Ideas channel. ...

Hey, thanks for the update! ArcGIS for AutoCAD is going to display the x,y locations based on current location and spatial reference (coordinate system). It also sounds like you might be georeferencing a drawing as well, but it is somewhat difficult to determine from our posts. I think the best thing we can do is have you open an Esri Technical Support case with the ArcGIS Pro Team to work and double check this CAD data. If all is correct then they can transfer the case to the ArcGIS for AutoCAD support team after if needed. ... View more

Apologies, but I am not following. Would it be possible to get screen captures and or workflow details as to what we are trying to work with and do please? The only other thing I can offer at the moment is you might need to use a Coordinate System that is in Lat/Lon. ... View more

Hello, If I understand your post I believe you just need to open the AutoCAD Properties Pallet and look under the Geometry section for the information you are looking for.     I hope this helps! ... View more

Hey Derek, I am glad to hear you were able to resolve the issue. If you do not mind we were hoping you could send us the data and steps on how you originally created and published this layer so we can look a little deeper.   Thank! ... View more

Glad to hear from you Derek. Nice to see you are running AFA all the time! You are correct that when Web Feature Layers already exist in the drawing the only way to change the coordinate system will be to completely remove the WFLs first. ... View more

Hello Derek, I am not sure I understand the question, or perhaps it is related to your first sentence explaining your workflow. I will say yes this is the intended functionality. Additionally Object data is not the same as block attributes. If you are actually asking about ingesting the object data then this is not supported, however, the block attributes are. Another thing to think about is once the data is loaded in the table we can just use Select by Attributes to query against the block attributes. I hope this helps. ... View more

Hello James, Thanks for your continued use of ArcGIS for AutoCAD. I believe you are speaking about coded value and range domains. When created, there is a predefined list of values a user can select for the attribute field value. Please check out the following documentation: Feature layer subtypes Web feature layers It sounds like the field you are working with just does not have a domain assigned to it so the user must manually enter the value for the preconfigured data type. I believe the following screen capture will display what we are speaking about:   ... View more

Thanks for the screen capture Zack, but I cannot see any of the URL to even begin to check for an issue. Can you just block out your domain portion of the DLL, or send me the image privately? I want to check you have the Portal Web Adaptor included in the URL. ... View more
