To use a database in a drawing Do one of the following: ■ From Windows Explorer, drag a database file to the Map Explorer tab of the Task pane. If the Map Explorer tab does not immediately display the data source, right-click a blank space in the Map Explorer tab. Click Refresh. ■ Right-click the Data Sources folder on the Map Explorer tab and select Attach. AutoCAD Map 3D automatically creates the required files for communicating with the database application. However, for some database types, you must configure these files yourself. Display Manager The Display Manager lets you create display maps. Each display map contains a set of styled layers. You can have more than one display map in a map file, and you can style the same data differently in each one. Use Data Connect to add features to your map, or drag data sources into Display Manager to add them as layers. For example, drag an SDF file from Windows® Explorer into the layer area to add it. 16 | Chapter 1 Tutorial: Introducing AutoCAD Map 3D 2010
