Gain total control over CAD and GIS data exchange. Discover how to use FME to preserve the information in CAD annotation when converting to GIS, and turn GIS data and attributes into rich, clean CAD drawings. You'll see how you can use reusable workflows to easily transform virtually any CAD or GIS data including AutoCAD, Esri ArcGIS, MapInfo, and MicroStation.

10. CAD vs GIS:
Different Perspectives
CAD users have a drawing perspective:
Layers & levels
Styles & Symbology
Dimensions & Labels
GIS users have a feature perspective:
Attributes and geometry
Data structure, model
Relational tables, domains
Location
Connectivity and proximity
Analysis
11. FME Approach: CAD to GIS
Preserve labels and attribution from text, blocks or
dimensions
Interpret layers, styles or symbols as attributes (e.g. road
type, pipe diameter)
Improve geometry:
create connectivity – snapping
form polygons from lines
Combine geometry and attributes using proximity
e.g. point on area overlay, nearest neighbor: transfer
label id to nearest line or polygon
Join to external database based on common id (ms_link)
14. FME Approach: GIS to CAD
Create AutoCAD blocks or Microstation cells based on
attribute values
Preserve attributes as object data or tags
Translate annotation
Schema transformation to conform to CAD standards
Geometry transformation and filtering to match CAD
requirements (layers etc)
Ensure essential CAD information is preserved in GIS
structures (GIS <-> CAD)
