Let me ask this... I am trying to use these SDFs (.Layers) for creating simple exhibits. I can drag the GIS files into CAD (Parcels , Roads, FEMA, etc.) and then turn on an aerial. Really simple. But I am tryin to understand how to control it more. More like a "normal" drawing. I don't think I want to save these out to DWGS and xref them in. (There huge and loading takes forever.) SDFs are fast to load which is awesome.
Sorry for rambling on. Also, could these SDF files be read only so it will not prompt me to "Check in" the features each time I close out of a exhibit drawing?
