It also incorporates many built-in tools to streamline processes like assigning an Esri coordinate system, adding base imagery, setting work area boundaries, labeling, attribution, assigning blocks, built-in GIS schema templates, and two-way synchronization of the CAD and GIS environments. The value of AFA goes beyond the powerful ability to connect to, publish, and update GIS data. The core functionality includes adding, deleting, or modifying the GIS features and their attributes from within the CAD environment. That statement is a simplified view of the AFA functionality, but as you dig deeper the power, ease-of-use, and seamless integration become apparent. This includes publishing, editing, and viewing of GIS data directly from within the Autodesk CAD desktop. So, whether you are looking to add GIS data for base content and environmental constraints to your CAD project, or you need to publish and edit GIS data from the CAD desktop, ArcGIS for AutoCAD is now more powerful than ever in bringing the CAD and GIS environments together without having to leave your CAD desktop.ĪrcGIS for AutoCAD was created for the purpose of having the CAD professional become a direct participant in the GIS process without altering their familiar CAD workflows. The first video example below demonstrates how this process can benefit your operations. When their field edits are complete, you synchronize those updates and see those changes directly in your CAD drawing. Field workers can add new features, change attributes, and attach photos while on the worksite. In minutes you can enable your CAD data to be leveraged and edited in field applications like ArcGIS Field Maps. You can add GIS content and context to your design project with a few clicks. When AFA is installed, an ArcGIS tab is automatically created in the main ribbon of Autodesk’s AutoCAD or Civil 3D. These enhancements include the ability to dynamically connect labels and text with ArcGIS attributes, and Feature Class Templates to easily create industry-specific schema-based workflows for utilities, transportation, public safety, natural resources, and more.
Version 410 of ArcGIS for AutoCAD was released in May 2022 and contains several enhanced capabilities, simplified workflows, and adds some powerful new functionality.
Enabling the CAD professional to author, access, and maintain GIS data right from their AutoCAD desktop expands the value of both the CAD and GIS data. Now CAD users can be full participants in the GIS process. CAD professionals can access and edit the same System of Record data as other ArcGIS web, desktop, and mobile applications. Enable ArcGIS workflows directly from the CAD desktopĪrcGIS for AutoCAD (AFA) is a free Esri plug-in that connects the CAD user to ArcGIS data and GIS workflows.
