This document discusses workflows for converting data between CAD and GIS formats using FME and outside of FME. It notes that FME makes the conversion process easier by allowing models to be reused, enforcing standards, and being more stable than other options. It also lists some specific FME transformers that are useful for CAD and GIS work, such as ArcStroker, GeometryFilter, and GeometryCoercer. The document concludes by mentioning fan out capabilities in FME for distributing datasets and by attributes.
