We are in the process of testing Map 2008 with ArcSDE with versions to
see if it will work. Haestad Methods (now Bentley) had a product call
GIS Connect that would allow you to connect to and edit ESRI data inside
of AutoCAD. It did this by pulling the ArcGIS engine into AutoCAD.
Unfortunately it required you to have both AutoCAD and ArcGIS loaded on
your machine. I am not sure if Bentley has continued with this product.

We have tried AutoDesk Map 3D 2007. The issue is that the FDO provider
for SDE
only connects to default. Version management is privative if non
existent. Connecting to multiple DSN does not work. If you are not the
version owner you can't connect. In our disturbed environment we can
only edit children of a master version of which the master was made from
the default version. I have heard the Map 3D 2008 will be a little
better. I could not find anyone who successfully implemented this as a
solution. I have been trying to
speak to the
reps at AutoDesk to discuss this and AutoDesk BuzzSaw further.
