Your mission, should you chose to accept it:
CAD to GIS (Basic)
Import Parcels
Extract attributes from
labels

Position in label determines which
attribute to populate.
Vertical labels can be rotated to
determine position.
Solution
Photo: Mark Kent via Flickr
Overlay labels on parcel polygons.
Create list of all inside labels.
Solution
Photo: Mark Kent via Flickr
List contains all of the
label strings, but not in
any order.
Use ListSorter to order
list for extraction.
Solution
Photo: Mark Kent via Flickr
Populate output attributes from ordered
list.
Write to Geodatabase.
What made this possible
● Exploit Annotation Organization
● Use Annotation Location to associate with
Geometry.

Your mission, should you chose to accept it:
CAD to GIS (Advanced)
● Leaders
● Callouts
● Tables
● Many
levels
Solution
Solution
Move label to head of leader dimension
Solution
Solution
Solution
Convert Station leader to point
and extract attributes from text
Solution
Associate text with
line using
NeighborFinder
Use first coordinate of line for output point
Station has
prefix ‘+’
Solution
Move Callout text to placement point
Solution
Removed
Changed
Polygon
with Spike
Overlay text onto Callout
polygon, then use Removed
Point from SpikeRemover for
location
SpikeRemover Input SpikeRemover Output
Solution
Table lines and text can be stored in same
Annotation Feature Class
Solution
What made this possible
FME’s spatial manipulation and filtering transformers
Your mission, should you chose to accept it:
CAD to Specific Data Model

FME excels at CAD -> GIS Data Model ReconciliationEsri Water Model
Solution
Photo: Rob "Berto" Bennett via Flickr
What made this possible
FME’s ability to:
● Import feature types from Geodatabase XML
Template
● Create new Geodatabase from XML Template

Solution
Solution
Failed validation
produces HTML file
with errors and
Google Map of
location
Solution
Successful
validation writes
data to
Geodatabase
Solution
Publish to FME
Server
What made this possible
GeometryValidator and Tester transformers to
validate geometry and attributes
XMLTemplater to create HTML reports
Special attribute fme_db_operation set action to
Insert, Delete or Update on output features.
Check out all new AttributeValidator now in FME 2016 beta!
Your mission, should you chose to accept it:
GIS to CAD
Solution
Solution
Label roads, parks and
transit lines with the
MapTextLabeller
Solution
Set the output DWG
symbology using the
DWGStyler transformer
What made this possible
The MaptextLabeller labeling rules ease the
creation of sophisticated map annotation.
The DWGStyler is a one-stop shop for setting CAD
symbology.
Summary
Key takeaways:
● FME has been tackling CAD<->GIS for 20+ years.
● CAD Standards are a huge help!!
● Have a step by step plan. Take it step by step.
