Power of AutoCAD Map 3D & ESRI Autodesk Interoperability Tools Richard E Chappell Geospatial Application Engineer © 2009 Autodesk

Welcome Richard Chappell –
“Rick” Geospatial Application Engineer rick.chappell@cadsoft-consult.com http://www.cadsoft-consult.com/blogs/geo/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/richardchappell Janelle Ramos Government Account Executive Janelle.ramos@cadsoft-consult.com CADsoft Consulting, Inc 1295 W. Washington St., Suite 201, Tempe, AZ 85281 480-820-0408 © 2009 Autodesk
3.
Objective Clarify the
CAD to GIS discussion Understanding of the Autodesk tools for interoperability © 2009 Autodesk
4.
Agenda Identify the
problem Review the technologies Look at solutions Practice the solutions © 2009 Autodesk
5.
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 © 2009 Autodesk
6.
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 © 2009 Autodesk
7.
CAD and GIS
Basics Both consist of basic primitive elements Points Lines Polygons Attributes Both store this information within a database © 2009 Autodesk
8.
Points Represent a position
or location Consist of coordinates – X, Y and Z © 2009 Autodesk
9.
Lines Consist of coordinate
pairs – a start point and end point © 2009 Autodesk
10.
Polygons
of group of coordinate pairs – a Consist boundary of lines © 2009 Autodesk
11.
Complex Features Complex features
are generally some construct of these primitives Annotation is a form of point Polylines are groups of lines © 2009 Autodesk
12.
Attributes Primitives will have
data elements attached Some elements describe the object itself Some are data describing what the object represents © 2009 Autodesk
13.
So what is
the difference? Data Structure Paradigm Graphic Representation © 2009 Autodesk
14.
Data Structure Paradigm
© 2009 Autodesk
15.
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 © 2009 Autodesk
16.
Data Structure Paradigm
ArcGISstores 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 © 2009 Autodesk

20.
AutoCAD Point Data
Set with Attributes © 2009 Autodesk
21.
ArcGIS dataset
© 2009 Autodesk
22.
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 © 2009 Autodesk
23.
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 © 2009 Autodesk
24.
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 © 2009 Autodesk
25.
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 © 2009 Autodesk
26.
Curves from a
Shapefile © 2009 Autodesk
27.
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 © 2009 Autodesk
28.
So What’s the
Problem? © 2009 Autodesk
29.
© 2009 Autodesk
30.
How it is
seen in GIS © 2009 Autodesk
31.
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 © 2009 Autodesk
32.
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 © 2009 Autodesk
33.
© 2009 Autodesk
34.
Let’s take a
look at some of the tools and methods © 2009 Autodesk
35.
Interchange Convert and share

systems ArcGIS for AutoCAD - ESRI GISConnect – Haestad Methods Bentley Crossfire* - EMS © 2009 Autodesk

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 © 2009 Autodesk
51.
Some of the
Issues Scale Precision Granularity Generalization Data Capture Cartographic Issues © 2009 Autodesk
52.
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’ © 2009 Autodesk
53.
1”=5000’ Map Electrical System
Map It shows the road centerlines and the feeders © 2009 Autodesk
54.
1”=500’ Distribution System Map Shows parcels, buildings, primary, secondary
and service lines © 2009 Autodesk
55.
1”=50’ Distribution System Map Shows
addresses, individual services, line labels, individual runs © 2009 Autodesk
56.
Generalization Reduce complexity by
Grouping of similar objects to simplify an image Simplification of lines based on scale Feature coalescence, selection and complexity reduction © 2009 Autodesk
57.
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 © 2009 Autodesk
58.
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 © 2009 Autodesk
59.
Cartographic Issues Symbols
Blocks vs Fonts Linetypes and masking Appearance – White Space “Slackuracy” © 2009 Autodesk
60.
Standards Freeform nature of
AutoCAD allows great flexibility We can constrain CAD data to a similar organization as GIS through standards © 2009 Autodesk
61.
Areas of Standardization Layering Symbols
(Block) Geometry Attributes © 2009 Autodesk
62.
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 © 2009 Autodesk
63.
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 © 2009 Autodesk
64.
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 © 2009 Autodesk
65.
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 One label block per element Consider using external database links and maintaining an ID as an attribute © 2009 Autodesk
66.
Conclusion
By understanding the issues that really impact our processes, we can develop workflows that will allow us to take the most advantage of our data © 2009 Autodesk
