AutoCAD Map 3D - WMS IntegrationThese instructions apply to AutoCAD® Map 3D® 2016 and above, and describe how to load georeferenced Nearmap imagery using Web Map Service (WMS).

Rather than import a single image of a small area, WMS allows AutoCAD to request the imagery directly from the Nearmap server in a variety of map projections.

Please note that only certain Autodesk applications ( and ) support this functionality.AutoCAD Map 3D  Autodesk Civil 3D
