  1. Thursday, July 14, 2011 – 3:40 PM Exporting GIS Features to CAD Drawings Alex LeReaux

  2. Agenda • Anatomy of the Export to CAD tool • Standard output • Extended output for AutoCAD drawings • Demo • Customizing output • Generate specific drawing layers • Export attributes as CAD text • Export point features as AutoCAD blocks • Demo

  3. The Export To CAD tool

  4. The Export To CAD tool Feature layers/classes, and shapefiles to V8 DGN and DWG/DXF formats. Field = DocPath

  5. Standard output

  6. Standard output Out of the box results ArcGIS MyDrawing.DWG (or DGN) Shapefiles Drawing layer for each input feature class or layer GDB features Native CAD geometry georeferenced to x,y (0,0) Export To CAD Base data contained in the seed file (optional)

  7. Extended output for AutoCAD drawings

  8. Extended output for AutoCAD drawings Standard output (continued) MyDrawing.DWG (2007 or higher) Coordinate system Drawing layer for each input feature class or layer Feature class Native CAD geometry georeferenced to x,y (0,0) Property filter Attributes Base data contained in the seed file (optional) Non-graphic schema

  9. Demo – Exporting standard output

  10. Customizing output

  11. Customizing Output Workflow Seed file (optional) Feature class table Calculate fields Export To CAD Add fields (Reserved) MyDrawing.DWG (or DGN)

  12. Generating specific drawing layers Reserved fields Layer (as text) and LyrColor (as an integer) Feature class table Field Calculator Export To CAD Add Field

  13. Exporting attributes as CAD text A point feature and fields CADType (as text) and TxtValue (as field value) Feature class table Field Calculator Export To CAD Feature To Point Add Field

  14. Exporting point features as AutoCAD blocks Fields CADType and RefName, and a seed file with AutoCAD blocks Feature class table Field Calculator Export To CAD Add Field

  15. Demo - Exporting customized output

  16. Exporting GIS Features to CAD Drawings Review • One tool: Export To CAD • Georeferenced geometry and a drawing layer for each input feature • Standard output to AutoCAD drawing includes the coordinate system, feature class schema, and attaches attribute values to geometry • CAD professionals can use ArcGIS for AutoCAD or custom .NET and/or AutoLISP. • Customize output with reserved CAD fields and a seed files
