<div class="h5"><br>I have been trying to make an autocad map (2010, 2011) connection to sql2008 express with an arcsde 9.3.1 personal gdb. I get several reactions depending on which connection and the values I use. I tried going through autodesk support to get a resolution. I got the following response from them. I have seen some responses on this forum expressing that the connection is possible. Any help would be appreciated.<br>
Brad<br>My connection parameters...<br>sql server spatial<br>service name: sde:sqlsserver:myserver\sqlexpress<br>response: credentials are not valid or provider is unable to establish a connection.<br>
ArcSDE connection<br>server name: myserver\sqlexpress<br>instance name: sde:myserver\sqlexpress<br>response: no error on credentials but the data store not populated<br>the sde:sqlserver:myserver\SQLEXPRESS syntax works in FME and returns the geometry correctly<br>
<br>Autodesk Response ...<br><br>Here's the official word from the product manager:<br><br>This is not a supported configuration. Not tested. I suspect the "local connect" string is not understood by our provider. But even if Map 3D did connect, you wouldn’t be able to "create a datastore". FDO Provider for ArcSDE doesn’t allow creation of data store from Map 3D. you can only connect and edit existing ArcSDE Data Stores.<br>
