Design smarter with ArcGIS, AutoCAD, and Civil 3D all in sync
ArcGIS for AutoCAD simplifies CAD and GIS collaboration to boost productivity, streamline work, and share information seamlessly from the GIS system of record.
Use your own organisation’s ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise content and data from ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World to inform your CAD drawings with geospatial context. Gain a geospatial understanding of your design project surroundings.
CAD professionals can work with GIS data in their familiar Autodesk design environment while GIS professionals can work in ArcGIS, with everyone working synchronously with the same data.
Eliminate unnecessary rework by delivering ArcGIS software-ready CAD drawings to your GIS team. CAD drawings with GIS attributes can be utilised as a data source across ArcGIS.
Leverage advanced GIS data management tools in your AutoCAD or Civil 3D design environment without extensive ArcGIS proficiency. ArcGIS for AutoCAD seamlessly integrates GIS into CAD workflows, providing CAD users with self-service access to GIS content.
With ArcGIS for AutoCAD, easily add an Esri coordinate system for geolocating drawings and see your design in real-world context.
ArcGIS for AutoCAD lets you easily bring GIS content directly into your AutoCAD or Civil 3D design environment. Connect to your organisation’s GIS content via ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise and supplement that content with maps, layers, and imagery from ArcGIS Living Atlas.
Edit GIS data and attributes aligning with CAD layers. Any edits, additions, and deletions made in ArcGIS or AutoCAD are synchronised with one another to maintain the GIS system of record.
Templates allow CAD professionals to start a drawing with stored coordinate system definitions, web and document feature layer definitions, project areas, and web map and image layers. Templates also include standard CAD layer definitions and block symbology.
ArcGIS for AutoCAD ensures CAD drawings and Civil 3D designs are GIS-ready for consumption in ArcGIS foundational products and apps. CAD users can import and edit GIS data to prepare ArcGIS-ready drawings for submittals, while meeting CAD standards without the need for GIS expertise.
Add CAD data directly in ArcGIS Pro. The geometric attributes assigned in ArcGIS for AutoCAD are displayed as feature layers.
ArcGIS Indoors for AutoCAD is an extension to Esri’s free ArcGIS for AutoCAD solution. It offers diagnostic checks to help CAD users detect and locate common problematic conditions.
Using ArcGIS Field Maps, mobile workers can add attributed geometry to CAD drawings within ArcGIS for AutoCAD.
ArcGIS for AutoCAD allows you to add map and feature layers from ArcGIS Living Atlas.
ArcGIS offers comprehensive capabilities for creating, managing, analysing, and mapping geographic information.
Unlock even more capabilities in this app with ArcGIS user types. Assign user types to people in your organisation and others you work with, including contractors.
