CAD data is GIS data • Automatic grouping of layers types • No longer have feature dataset and drawing dataset • CAD features are rendered using display properties in the CAD drawing. • Definition query, works the same as with GIS data • More fields are supported, searching can be more precise. • CAD data works as input to many geoprocessing tasks
Integrating CAD data into GIS • According to ESRI as much as 70% of existing GIS data has been derived from CAD sources • Georeferencing toolbar now allows users to interactively rotate, scale, and move CAD files • World files are automatically created with Georeferencing tool, no longer need manually edit a text file. • Can assign a projection to multiple CAD files at the same time by saving them in the same directory with ESRI_CAD.prj, • Transform multiple files with ESRI_CAD.wld • New tool has been added to samples toolbox which converts CAD data to feature class with the attributes of the nearest point.
Moving the “Opposite” DirectionArcGIS for AutoCAD • ArcGIS for AutoCAD is a free application that installs on top of AutoCAD 2007 • Provides access to GIS mapping and geoprocessing capabilities within AutoCAD. • Leverages ArcGIS Server map services to • View/include “live” GIS maps in their CAD designs • Access GIS feature attributes in CAD directly using an integrated Identify tool • Include the results of geoprocessing tools in their CAD designs
