Discover how to easily move data between AutoCAD and GIS systems – while maintaining full control over CAD annotation and GIS attributes – using FME. See also how you can load data into Map 3D and style to your desire, or take data from Civil 3D and load into other applications such as Esri Geodatabase. Plus, you'll get a sneak peek at FME 2014's upcoming support for Autodesk Revit.

10. CAD vs GIS:
Different Perspectives
CAD users have a drawing perspective:
Layers & levels
Styles & Symbology
Dimensions & Labels
GIS users have a feature perspective:
Attributes and geometry
Data structure, model
Relational tables, domains
Location
Connectivity and proximity
Analysis
11. FME Approach: CAD to GIS
Preserve labels and attribution from text, blocks or
dimensions
Interpret layers, styles or symbols as attributes (e.g. road
type, pipe diameter)
Improve geometry:
create connectivity – snapping
form polygons from lines
Combine geometry and attributes using proximity
e.g. point on area overlay, nearest neighbor: transfer
label id to nearest line or polygon
Join to external database based on common id
12. Poll: What are your biggest data exchange
problems?
#fmewebinar
15. FME Approach: GIS to CAD
Create AutoCAD blocks based on attribute values
Preserve attributes as object data or tags
Translate annotation
Schema transformation to conform to CAD standards
Geometry transformation and filtering to match CAD
requirements (layers etc)
Ensure essential CAD information is preserved in GIS
structures (GIS <-> CAD)
18. Poll: Now that you’ve seen what FME can
do, what Autodesk products would you like
to exchange data with?
