CAD and GIS working together
ArcGIS for AutoCAD builds a bridge between CAD and GIS professionals for two-way, synchronous information sharing and decision-making.
Use your own organization’s ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise content and data from ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World to inform your CAD drawings with geospatial context. Gain a geospatial understanding of your design project surroundings.
With ArcGIS for AutoCAD, easily add an Esri coordinate system for geolocating drawings and see your design in real-world context.
ArcGIS for AutoCAD lets you easily bring GIS content directly into your AutoCAD or Civil 3D design environment. Connect to your organization’s GIS content via ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise and supplement that content with maps, layers, and imagery from ArcGIS Living Atlas.
Edit GIS data and attributes aligning with CAD layers. Any edits, additions, and deletions made in ArcGIS or AutoCAD are synchronized with one another to maintain the GIS system of record.
Templates allow CAD professionals to start a drawing with stored coordinate system definitions, web and document feature layer definitions, project areas, and web map and image layers. Templates also include standard CAD layer definitions and block symbology.
CAD drawings with GIS attributes can be utilized across ArcGIS and used as a valuable dataset in multiple different tools across the ArcGIS system.
Add CAD data directly in ArcGIS Pro. The geometric attributes assigned in ArcGIS for AutoCAD are displayed as feature layers.
ArcGIS Indoors for AutoCAD is an extension to Esri’s free ArcGIS for AutoCAD solution. It offers diagnostic checks to help CAD users detect and locate common problematic conditions.
Using ArcGIS Field Maps, mobile workers can add attributed geometry to CAD drawings within ArcGIS for AutoCAD.
ArcGIS for AutoCAD allows you to add map and feature layers from ArcGIS Living Atlas.
