[postgis-users] PostGIS on ArcGIS AND AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013

Hello,

I installed PostgreSQL 9.1 64 bit and PostGIS 2.0.1 to host spatial data for our ArcGIS, which can be done via the ArcGIS "Add query layer" option.  Now that I got that working I have had a couple people ask if I can get our AutoCad Civil 3D 2013 users connected to PostGIS as well.   I noticed right off hand that AutoCAD connects to the postgresql, however even with the spatial reference system loaded the data does not appear to load properly.  I found a note that Civil 3D may not work with Postgresql 9.1 and PostGIS 2.0.  Is this correct?   

Has anyone found a combination of PostgreSQL and PostGIS that will serve data to both ArcGIS and AutoCAD clients?

Thank You

P.S.  This data is not "SDE" It is strictly postgreSQL and postgis.
