To Work With Offline Data

When you work offline, AutoCAD Map 3D caches all your feature data connections.

To work offline

1. Click Feature Edit tabEdit Set panelAutomatic Update.
2. Check out the features you plan to use.

   For more information, see Checking Out Features.

3. Click the Online/Offline toggle on the Status Bar.

You can still check out and edit features while you are offline. When you return online, AutoCAD Map 3D attempts to lock features that you checked out while you were offline. Non-feature data cannot be checked out, so you cannot edit it unless you are connected to its source.

To return online

• Click the Offline/Online toggle on the Status Bar.
• Check in the checked out features.

  For more information, see Checking In Features.
