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

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

Poll: What are your biggest data exchangeproblems?

FME Approach: GIS to CAD

Create AutoCAD blocks 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
