[fdo-users] AutoCAD and FDO OGR for personal geodatbases

[Brad Nesom]

To connect to personal and file-based Geodatabases, you must have the
following:

   - A 32-bit operating system
   - Access to Personal and File Geodatabases
   - A valid license to either ArcGIS Desktop software or equivalent
   ArcEngine Runtime.

   ArcEngine is included with the ArcGIS Dektop products, such as ArcView,
   ArcEditor, and ArcInfo.

"I have a map of the United States... Actual size. It says, 'Scale: 1 mile
= 1 mile.' I spent last summer folding it. I hardly ever unroll it. People
ask me where I live, and I say, 'E6."
