Like may people I use Map3d to get around using ArcGIS's editing tools. I have a polygon feature class in a file geodatabase that I edited in Arc. I then connect, as an FDO, to the feature class in Map3D. The change made in Arc to the feature class doesn't show up in Map3d. There are no geometry errors that Arc can detect with its error checking tool, edits were saved, I deleted out and recreated the FDO in Map3d several times to no avail, verisioning in Arc is also off. Below image shows the disconnect, Map3d of left, Arc on right. Its like there's zombie data that won't die. Any ideas as to what on earth could be happening?
Geodatabase feature class changes made in ArcGIS don't show up in Map3D FDOs
Accepted solution
Hi,
Perhaps you can try to clear GWS files. When you checkin a feature, AutoCAD MAP creates a cache file (GWS file which is a SQLite DB) with your current modification. When you checkout, temporary modif are applied to GeoDB. If you modify GeoDB outside, sometimes AutoCAD MAp reread cache data instead of real data in DB.
In MAPOPTIONS command, System Tab you have a button to clear this cache.
It should be done in a blanck new drawing, then close and reopen MAP3D before opening your DWG connected to GeoDB.
