This has been an intermittent issue since the birth of FDO Work arounds are not acceptable .. If a dwg with FDO connections is XREFed into a host dwg and or used with sheet set manager the Map features do not display at all.

Xref and SSM are both vanilla Autocad features, don't expect Map3D features like FDO to work with them. If you want the same data displayed in multiple dwgs/maps then save the FDO connection to a layer (.layer) file and drag/drop it into any dwg that you want it in the same as a xref. That's the method designed to work with Map3D.
I have always just saved out the dwg as vanilla acad then use that in ssm It worked but adds to work flow. the .layer drag n drop is better And I thank You
Regarding the .Layer method if the the .Layer file changes will the dwg that it was drag and dropped into update ?
Yes as long as you saved the changes to the layer file.Quote:
