You can display two types of data in a map: drawing source and feature source.
- Drawing sources
- Preserve styles and themes created using the Display Manager in AutoCAD Map 3D or other Autodesk applications. The data is converted to Design Web Format (DWF) so the styles and themes are rendered accurately in the displayed map. You cannot modify these styles and themes.
To make styles and themes available for further analysis and editing, convert the data to SDF when loading. The data becomes feature source data in Autodesk Infrastructure Studio. Styles and themes are preserved and are available for further analysis and modification.
- Feature sources
- Unstyled data that you can style and theme in Autodesk Infrastructure Studio. Feature sources include all FDO data sources.
