This document discusses principles of Engineering GIS, which integrates CAD and GIS data and tools. It outlines five principles: 1) data passes through a lifecycle from design to construction, 2) data is accessed natively in CAD/GIS tools without import/export, 3) tools enable data creation and maintenance in design and GIS, 4) geospatial analysis and mapping tools are used, and 5) design data is accurately rendered. Case studies demonstrate how the approach improves efficiency across tools, workflows, and locations.

1. A Range of CAD/GIS Integration Scenarios Michael Schlosser, Autodesk

2. The CAD/GIS Link CAD and GIS are linked by the vary infrastructure that they portray and analyze

3. The old way of integrating CAD & GIS Import Data Conversion Export

4. CAD/GIS Integration It’s not about CAD or GIS; It’s about both! GIS? Engineering? ENGIS

6. Reduced re-work

7. Reduced errors

8. Retained accuracy, precision & integrity

9. Increased usability/value

10. Improved efficiency

11. Increased competitiveness

12. Increased collaboration

13. Increased flexibility for design, planning and “what if”…and more

15. Data is accessed natively

16. Design tools for data creation & maintenance

17. Geospatial tools for mapping & spatial analysis.

20. Data Redundancy

23. Principles of Engineering GIS Design data is accurately rendered Validate Communicate Visualize Experience it Before it’s Real

25. Across Workflows

27. Avoid data import/export, conversion

28. Data is more secure, accurate and preciseYork Region Ontario Canada

29. Engineering GIS – Across Workflows Base Map Preparation Base Map Preparation Connect to data natively Design Design Leverage existing design and geospatial tools Update with as-tendered data and versioning Construction Construction Accurately rendered designs Records Management Records Management Update with as-built data

31. Improved efficiency of searches by 20%

32. Improved accuracy of infrastructure inventory on new construction by up to 15%

33. Spinoff benefits: improved accuracy in regulatory reporting, decision making and public safetyCity of Saskatoon Saskatchewan Canada
