GIS data exists in various places—on your local computer, on your organization’s network, in databases, in portals, and on ArcGIS Online. ArcGIS for AutoCAD supports connecting to your ArcGIS Online account or ArcGIS Enterprise portal to add supported web content. You can add your organization’s Enterprise portal and add supported content, or sign in to ArcGIS Online to use ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World content.
