You are GIS Champions 60% Haven’t Tried ArcGIS for AutoCAD…Yet.
60% need to find a way to prepare CAD data for use in GIS 30% want to see their maps in CAD The rest? Checking it out How do you use CAD? 60% Planning and Design 50% Utility Networks 60% Landbase is in CAD What’s important to you? Putting CAD in your Maps: 70% Creating GIS Content in CAD: 50% Editing CAD in ArcGIS: 40% Editing GIS in AutoCAD: 30%
