Hi, Autodesk, iam coming to give my ideas, iam with a BIG GIS Project in my country (Angola) and could only do simples things with Map 3D and went to do the majority in QGIS, see what follows, (The project is with more than 300.000 Features)
1 - AutoCAD Map 3D could not save correctly to its plain file (DWG). Not saved well Current Map to Dwg.
Solution found: Went to export the layer in QGIS, did not took long and the label styles were complete and perfect, in MAP 3D, the mayority of labes desapears.
2 - Export to PDF: i could create the Map Book very well, that is a nice thing of Map 3D but as the Raster imagem is big it crashing to export to PDF all the Layouts, I have got in the project files with more than 256 layouts, even the ones with less than that the operation to export all layout from the sheet manager or other places gives fatal error, only if i try to export them without the Aerael photo that is not important to the client.
No solution until now
3 - Merge Layers: As you could see the project is not small, so we decided to merge 18 layers as one, more than 10 hours and nothing:
Solution, in less than 10 minites could do in QGIS.
4 - Geopackage.
This is the file that is coming to replace Shp, even in AutoCAD Map 3D 2019 there is no option to open that, for QGIS 3 on, now is the default file.
My Ideas: Give more importance to MAP 3D Autodesk, as i have mentioned in posts before, GIS is a world and working together with Remote Sensing, see this Autodesk.
