ArcGIS for AutoCAD is a free application that provides access to ArcGIS Server map services and allows CAD users to visualize and query GIS data without conversion in AutoCAD. As a CAD user, you can work directly with ArcGIS map services to add GIS context to your AutoCAD session.
This introductory video demonstrates how ArcGIS for AutoCAD leverages the spatial data management and cartographic capabilities of ArcGIS Server.
With ArcGIS for AutoCAD, you can (according to ESRI)
- View live GIS maps, displaying GIS symbology of all underlying GIS data structures in CAD.
- Include the results of GIS analysis in your CAD designs.
- Include GIS basemaps in your CAD products.
- Access feature attributes in CAD directly from the underlying GIS databases using the Identify tool.
- Define the coordinate system within AutoCAD to automatically project maps on the fly without transforming CAD drawings or converting GIS data.
