Ground Rules
No religious discussions
No discussion of whether GIS or CAD is better.
Many of us, for various reasons, need to work in
an environment shared between CAD and GIS
software
![Page 6: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

CAD and GIS Myths
CAD is dumb data
GIS is not accurate
CAD drawings aren’t “clean”
CAD doesn’t use coordinate systems
CAD uses x and y coordinates, and GIS uses Latitude and Longitude
CAD is a graphics program and GIS is a database program
You can’t do analysis with CAD programs
Technology now allows us to capture 80% of CAD data for GIS
Moving data between CAD and GIS is difficult
![Page 7: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

CAD and GIS Basics
Both consist of basic primitive elements
Points
Lines
Polygons
Attributes
Both store this information within a database
![Page 8: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
© 2009 Autodesk
Points
Represent a position or location
Consist of coordinates – X, Y and Z
![Page 9: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
© 2009 Autodesk
Lines
Consist of coordinate pairs – a start point
and end point
![Page 10: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
© 2009 Autodesk
Polygons
Consist of group of coordinate pairs – a
boundary of lines
![Page 11: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Complex Features
Complex features are generally some
construct of these primitives
Annotation is a form of point
Polylines are groups of lines
![Page 12: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
© 2009 Autodesk
Attributes
Primitives will have data elements attached
Some elements describe the object itself
Some are data describing what the object
represents
![Page 13: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

So what is the difference?
Data Structure Paradigm
Graphic Representation
![Page 14: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Data Structure Paradigm - AutoCAD
AutoCAD stores data in a free form object
oriented database where the fields in each row
are defined by the entity type
DWG File
Entity ID Line St Point End Point Layer
Entity ID Point Point Layer Color
Entity ID Block Ins Point Layer Color
Entity ID Arc St Point End Point Bulge
![Page 16: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
© 2009 Autodesk
Data Structure Paradigm
ArcGIS stores data in predefined data structures
where the fields are defined in each data type
Feature Class (Pipes – Lines)
ID Shape (BLOB) SIZE MATERIAL IN USE
ID Shape (BLOB) SIZE MATERIAL IN USE
Feature Class (Vegetation – Polygon)
ID Shape (BLOB) SPECIES AGE AVG DBH
ID Shape (BLOB) SPECIES AGE AVG DBH

What this means
The means that AutoCAD will store multiple
data types in a single DWG, while ArcGIS
will store multiple data types in separate
tables and/or files
Tables in Geodatabase
Sets of files for Shapes and other formats
![Page 23: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
© 2009 Autodesk
Graphic Representation
In AutoCAD, the graphic representation is
stored on the object as part of the individual
object definition
In ArcGIS, all graphic representation is kept
separate from the data
![Page 24: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
© 2009 Autodesk
What this means
Sharing a DWG file provides an exact
representation of the original graphic
representation
Sharing a GIS data set will not provide an
exact representation of the original graphic
representation, without the ancillary
support files
Not good or bad – just different
![Page 25: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
© 2009 Autodesk
Other Differences
Coordinate number data types
Floating point vs Long Integers 32-bit
Single vs Double Precision
Some differences in primitives
Annotation – feature linked as well as annotation
objects
Curves – curve data isn’t carried through some
GIS data sets
![Page 26: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

What’s The Point
The physical transfer of data is a minor
technical issue
Most software vendors now provide excellent
tools to transfer data back and forth
Most will allow direct editing of other data
formats
![Page 28: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Integration Barriers
The primary barriers to integration are data
organization and business issues rather
than technical issues
The purposes of the data have a much larger
impact than how the data is stored
Understanding those issues can remove the
barriers
![Page 32: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Purpose of the Data
The purpose of the data can have a profound
impact on the data
Across the facility management environment,
there are a number of areas of the lifecycle,
each with its own requirements

Purpose of the Data
The purpose of the data can have a profound
impact on the data
Across the facility management environment,
there are a number of areas of the lifecycle,
each with its own requirements
![Page 51: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

Some of the Issues
Scale
Precision
Granularity
Generalization
Data Capture
Cartographic Issues
![Page 52: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
© 2009 Autodesk
Scale
Different scales have different requirements
Generally, design scales will be much larger
than GIS map scales – Design scales get in
the 1”=20’-50’ range, where system maps
get much smaller, as in 1”=100’-400’
![Page 53: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

Generalization
Reduce complexity by
Grouping of similar objects to simplify an image
Simplification of lines based on scale
Feature coalescence, selection and complexity
reduction
![Page 57: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

Granularity
Granularity is the grouping of dissimilar
objects to represent a single feature
Items that aren’t important to the operation of
the system may be dropped from facility
maps
![Page 58: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

Precision and Accuracy
Higher accuracy is more expensive
Design requires a high degree of accuracy
Underground utilities
Most new construction work will include a
site survey of 3rd order (or close) to identify
the existing conditions
With a large land base, highly accurate data
is likely too expensive to create and
maintain
![Page 59: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)

Cartographic Issues
Symbols
Blocks vs Fonts
Linetypes and masking
Appearance – White Space
“Slackuracy”
![Page 60: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)

Standards
Freeform nature of AutoCAD allows great
flexibility
We can constrain CAD data to a similar
organization as GIS through standards
![Page 61: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

Areas of Standardization
Layering
Symbols (Block)
Geometry
Attributes
![Page 62: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)

Layers
In AutoCAD, layering is the most common method of
segregating data
In ArcGIS, feature classes and subtypes define
segregate the data
Match layers to feature classes and subtypes to
segregate the data
Use similar object types within each layer
ie. Lines with lines, points with points
![Page 63: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
© 2009 Autodesk
Point Symbols
Represent points in data set
ArcGIS uses a font in the map document to
create the symbol
AutoCAD would use a block in the drawing
Identify Font-Block Mappings during
conversion
![Page 64: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
© 2009 Autodesk
Geometry
Maintain snapping through connected line
features – use wipeouts to mask lines
Insure intersections are broken within a
single data set
Use closed polygons to identify polygons
![Page 65: Harness The Power Of Auto Cad Map And Esri](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030218/588683f91a28ab962a8b7787/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

Attributes
Use attributes to label items rather than text
labels
Use label blocks to attribute polygons and
lines – after conversion, they can be
spatially joined
