CAD and GIS: Connecting Two Worlds
- 1. CAD and GIS: Connecting Two Worlds
- 2. Agenda • GIS vs CAD • How to Convert GIS to CAD • Creating AutoCAD Layouts – Live Demo
- 3. GIS vs CAD CAD • Design & drawing • Static & concrete • AutoCAD DWG, Microstation DGN GIS • Mapping & analyzing geographic features • Dynamic • Esri Shapefile, Esri Geodatabase, GML
- 4. Converting GIS to CAD • Convert GIS structures into complex CAD geometries • GIS attributes -> CAD annotations & symbology • Labelling • Styling
- 7. Creating AutoCAD Layouts • New: Write AutoCAD layouts in FME • Automates layout production • Requires template file with blank layout(s) and block definition
- 8. A layout created in FME
- 9. Demo: Create CAD layouts from grid layer
- 10. A single AutoCAD block plus an FME workspace replaces hours of manual editing.
- 11. ● GIS and CAD store data differently — labels, symbology, annotations. ● FME can handle conversions between GIS and CAD formats. ● New ability to write AutoCAD layouts automates layout production.
