For this presentation we will discuss methodology and lessons learned while developing our process to convert from CAD drawn circuit maps to GIS generated circuit maps. By utilizing ArcGIS and Python we were able to auto generate the GIS based maps with minimal user interaction while keeping the printed circuit maps in sync with our GIS. The implementation of this process reduced operating costs and allowed us to serve a broader customer base with alternative map styles.
