Open the door to potential solutions to

address your field challenges & problems.

Quick

Overview of

GIS & related

technologies

Intro to GIS

What is GIS?

Why do we use it?

OGC – Open Geospatial Consortium

OGC(R) standards are technical documents that detail interfaces or encodings. Ideally, when OGC standards are implemented in products or online services by two different software engineers working independently, the resulting components plug and play, that is, they work together without further debugging.

What is a Map?

An AutoCAD Map 3D map file is a window into your information. It has links to all the data and images you include in your map:

1. Standard AutoCAD objects

2. Spatial data from a database or file

3. Raster images

4. Attribute data

DEMO: Overview of AutoCAD Map 3D Features1. Create and Assign Geographic Coordinate Systems

2. Combine Geospatial Features and Drawing Objects

3. Create and Edit Features and Drawing Objects

4. Search and Filter Data

5. Creating and Editing Data and attributes

6. Analyzing Data

7. Use Metadata

8. Organize Data

9. Style Data

10. Theme and Analyze Data

11. Manage Data

DATA

CONNECTIONS

Data Connection

1. Shapefile – standard ESRI spatial data geometry.

2. ArcSDE – ESRI’s spatial database which adds additional tools & features to standard spatial databases.

3. Spatial Database – A spatial database, or geodatabase is a database that is optimized to store and query data that represents objects defined in a geometric space ~ Wikipedia

4. WMS - The OpenGIS Web Map Service Interface Standard (WMS) provides a simple HTTP interface for requesting geo-registered map images from one or more distributed geospatial databases.

5. WFS – The OpenGIS Web Feature Service Standard (WFS) provides a simple HTTP interface for requesting & editing vector data.

6. Raster Imagery

ArcGIS for

AutoCAD

ArcGIS for AutoCAD

ArcGIS for AutoCAD is a free, plug-in application for AutoCAD that allows you to access and create GIS data by connecting to services from ArcGIS for Server and ArcGIS Online.

ArcGIS for AutoCAD

Use ArcGIS for AutoCAD to

• Streamline information sharing between GIS and CAD groups.

• View live, rich cartographic GIS maps in AutoCAD.

• Include the results of GIS analysis in AutoCAD designs.

• Add imagery to your AutoCAD drawing.

• Create, manipulate, and define how CAD data is organized and attributed as GIS content so it can be used in ArcGIS for Desktop or AutoCAD.
