DESCRIPTION
Small cities in Canada have two solitudes: CAD and GIS. Using FME, this chasm can be easily bridged. This session will explore how you can move AutoCAD DWG files to SQL Server Spatial for display within Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise. We'll focus on how FME's recent support for Object Data within DWG opens the doors for seamless migration between CAD and GIS.

About the Speaker: Gordon Luckett GIS Consultant for 14 years Arrow Geomatics Inc. Focus on Spatial Databases
SQL Server 2008 Oracle Spatial/Locator 8i and up to 11G
Primary Focus: Government Web GIS
AutoCAD to SQL Server with FME
Proof of Concept SQL Server 2008
City of Grande Prairie, Alberta
Task: Hundreds of DWG files Contain “Object Data” Move to SQL Server 2008 automatically Render in MapGuide Enterprise
AutoCAD to SQL Server with FME
Why SQL Server 2008?
SQL Server
MapInfo
AutoCAD Map 3D
AutoCAD Civil 3D
ArcMap
MapGuide
AutoCAD to SQL Server with FME
What is Object Data? Stored within DWG Custom property
Text Integer Double
Only in: AutoCAD Map 3D AutoCAD Civil 3D
AutoCAD to SQL Server with FME
How to get Object Data out of the DWG traditionally:
Export to SDF Export to SHP Export to …
Manual process per layer
Requires re-import into SQL Server
AutoCAD to SQL Server with FME
Alternative solution FDO for Map 3D:
AutoCAD to SQL Server with FME
Alternative solution FDO: Push all data into SQL Server Maintain SQL Server data directly from within
Map 3D and Civil 3D with FDO Directly Draw in Map 3D into SQL Server Directly enter attribute data into SQL Server
AutoCAD to SQL Server with FME
Downside to FDO: Some Traditional CAD objects not supported
(i.e. Leaders, Dimensions, Wipeouts, etc) Object Data not available to share data once
brought back in New learning curve to technicians and
engineers.
