Plugging CAD Users into the ArcGIS System
Track: Technology
Authors: Don Kuehne

ArcGIS is a system. It is a system of creating accessing and sharing geographic knowledge. ArcGIS for AutoCAD is the AutoCAD-user's interface to this system. With release 300, ArcGIS for AutoCAD has gone from useful and interesting to indispensible for AutoCAD and ArcGIS interoperability. This application is for those ArcGIS system users working in AutoCAD, with or without access to ArcGIS Server. It is useful within a connected enterprise, or by a stand-alone consultant. Come see how the latest version of the free downloadable plug in, ArcGIS for AutoCAD 300 allows AutoCAD users within or outside your organization to prepare GIS data in CAD and edit geodatabases. Learn how AutoCAD users can dynamically view, or extract useful maps and infrastructure geometry and their attributes from ArcGIS Online and your organization's ArcGIS Server maps. This demo-centric session will leave you with a practical understanding of the software's capabilities, and how easy it is to download, install, and employ.
