"There was a problem adding data to Map"
Nothing seemed to have changed - we still have Map 2013, the raster files are the same. So why didn't it work anymore?
Autodesk support pointed me to the following KB article:
"AutoCAD Map 3D: Error: "There was a problem adding data to Map" when adding WMS or Rasterfiles"
Issue:
Connect to WMS or Raster files via FDO, the connection work but cannot add the layer to Autodesk® AutoCAD® Map 3DCauses:
The issue could be related to permission, or lack of them.Solution:
Open AutoCAD Options menu >Files tab and locate “Temporary External Reference File Location”. This revealed the path where program copies the remporary FDO files.FDO needs full rights to this location C:\Users\<username>\appdata\local\temp\
Alternatively create folder with full permission at C:\TEMP and set “Temporary External Reference File Location” to that path.
Funny though as my setting for "“Temporary External Reference File Location”" was already "C:\temp". But then I realised that we applied a new AutoCAD profile to all workstations couple of weeks ago and that the new profile probably has to do with the issue.
I created a new (empty) profile and added the images succesfully to Map. The setting for the Temporary External Reference File Location is now "C:\Users\<<>>\AppData\Local\Temp\" again. When I change it to C:\Temp I cannot add the files anymore.
Conclusion - it works for me but exactly the other way round as described in the KB arcticle. Anyway, as long as it works....
Map 2013, SP2
Edit:
ok, the difference is "full rights". As normal user I do not have full rights on c:\temp and I cannot change that myself. Whereas with C:\Users\<username>\appdata\local\temp\ I have full access. At least in our corporate environment.
