Looks like you HAVE to import the SHP files for this to work. There’s an outstanding issue with 2009 and importing large data sets or opening dwgs with previously imported data.

Is there any way to get a surface built from queried data files instead of via attached dwgs?

[...] Once you import the sdf file you will have polylines and object data attached to them, if you check the properties of one you notice it is at an elevation of “0” but the object data has the correct elevation listed. At this time save the drawing and close it out. We need to attach it to another new drawing and perform an alter-property query to alter the polylines elevation. So open a new drawing again and make sure the map task pane is open. Attach the saved drawing (the one you just saved and closed) using the map task pane. Now perform an alter-property query to set the polylines on their correct elevation. The image below is a refresher in accomplishing this if you need more “How-do” look here or here. [...]

Excellent article. In the past I’ve used shp files to post entities as well as data associated with them. This has always been a mystery for our company. Will you be attending AU? Are you golfing?
Thanks
