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.

ESRI has announced enhancements for ArcGIS Server in version 9.3. I will shortly summurize the most improtant ones of the new release:

  • REST and JavaScript APIs
  • Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Services Support
  • PostgreSQL Support
  • Collaborative Design Activity (COLLADA) File Support
  • Improved Performance
  • Better Diagnostics
  • Enhanced Security
  • More Documentation

ArcGIS 9.3 is expected to be available in the third quarter of 2008.

Interesting for Developers:

ArcGIS 9.3 will support Visual Studio 2008 in ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Engine, and ArcGIS Server for customization and development. In addition, ArcGIS 9.3 will continue to support Visual Studio 2005. ArcGIS 9.3 will still have the Visual Basic (VB) 6 Software Developer Kit (SDK) for ArcGIS Engine and ArcGIS Desktop, but it will be the last release that will support VB 6. ArcGIS Server 9.3 will support .NET 3.5.

ArcGIS 9.3 will not support Visual C++ 6.0. In fact, ArcGIS 9.1 was the last release that supported it. However, if you want to do COM Visual C++ development at ArcGIS 9.2 and 9.3, ESRI will support that language via Visual Studio 2005 (not Visual Studio 6).

ArcGIS Server 9.3 will support the following operating systems:

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 4.0 Update 2
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10
  • Sun Solaris 10 (SPARC)
  • Sun Solaris 9 (SPARC)
  • Windows 2000 SP4 Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter
  • Windows 2003 SP2 Server Standard, Enterprise, and Datacenter
  • Windows 2003 SP2 (64-bit) Server Standard, Enterprise, and Datacenter
  • Windows Vista SP1 Ultimate, Enterprise, and Business
  • Windows XP SP2 Professional Edition
