Title: AutoCAD Map and WMS connection
Post by: Mark on July 05, 2018, 11:03:06 AM

Can anyone connect to this using Map and WMS connection? I cannot connect to any WMS server. Guessing it's a firewall issue.

thanks

Thanks for the tip Michael. Still doesn't work here. I'm guessing its a proxy server issue.

This is interesting! The following URL works in ArcMap. However this is NOT the URL found in the link you described. It is PART of it though. LOL

https://tigerweb.geo.census.gov/arcgis/services/TIGERweb/tigerWMS_Current/MapServer/WMSServer?

URL as mentioned above.

https://tigerweb.geo.census.gov/arcgis/services/TIGERweb/tigerWMS_Current/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS

more testing to follow ....

it took a little while to make the connection....

even a second 'connect' request was use before the layers showed up..FYI

I didn't need any proxy server settings, but we aren't using one...that I know of here
