Presentation Outline
I. Arc GIS to MicroStation CAD export (gas utility)
II. Example GPS/GIS/CAD environmental data workflows
III. Bentley products for GIS/CAD
Arc GIS exported separate raw CAD files1. Point features
Arc GIS exported separate raw CAD files2. Linear features
Arc GIS exported separate raw CAD files3. Annotation
Combine All FeaturesPoint Features
+ Linear Features
+ Annotation

Line Style Lookup
Result
Point Features Processing-GIS symbols have different origins than CAD symbols
-Point features need to by symbolized to CAD Stds
Result: Need to do table look up for each symbol to get offset
GIS origin
CAD origin
Linear Features Processing-CAD requires custom line style that GIS is unaware of-Linear features need to be symbolized
Result: Need to do table look up for each linear feature to get custom line style, color, weight, level

Linear Features Processing-Custom Line Style
-Proprietary – format not published-Keeps file size small-Requires a binary data linkage to linear CAD element-Instructions for drawing custom line style in separate .rsc file
