Workflow Processes:

Import Data from ArcGIS Online

The Autodesk Connector for ArcGIS® uses your ESRI ArcGIS login information to connect AutoCAD Map 3D toolset to your ArcGIS data. Once you’ve signed in, use the Autodesk Connector for ArcGIS to browse available datasets and add ArcGIS data layers into your map drawing. Upon importing the ArcGIS data into your AutoCAD Map 3D drawing, you can edit layer style control the appearance of the mapping features.
NOTES:
Bringing ArcGIS data into your drawing does not require an ArcGIS account. If you don’t have an ArcGIS account, you can access public data. If you have an ArcGIS account, you can also access data from your organization and your groups, as well as data that you have created.
Edit & Append ArcGIS Data Source

Map data imported from ArcGIS online can be edited or appended in AutoCAD Map 3D and saved back to ArcGIS online, updating the original data source. Edits can be made to the feature geometry and attributes, or CAD geometry can be added to the feature layer. When you are ready to update the ArcGIS data source, you can Check-in the Features.
NOTES:
Saving edits and appending data to ArcGIS online data sources requires an ArcGIS account with editing privileges. For more information, see About Roles and Privileges Required to Exchange Data with ArcGIS.
Publish to ArcGIS Online

Publishing vector layers from AutoCAD Map 3D to ArcGIS online requires that you sign into your ArcGIS account and select the feature data to publish, define layers, add tags, and specify the publishing location. You can also specify whether to share the published content with your ArcGIS groups and whether it is editable. Publishing requires an ArcGIS account with publishing privileges. For more information, see About Roles and Privileges Required to Exchange Data with ArcGIS. After you publish content, it is available from your Content location in ArcGIS online after you sign in.
If you have not already done so, you’ll need to assign a coordinate system to your drawing and confirm that your coordinate system is compatible with ArcGIS Online. Once that has been established, you can Create New Features and Publish to ArcGIS Online. Once the new features have been published as a new dataset in ArcGIS online, you’ll need to import the new dataset for further editing of the ArcGIS data in AutoCAD Map 3D.
