ArcGIS for AutoCAD Reviews

Arcgis for autocad is a powerful software for managing autocad drawing using Arcgis.

Arcgis for autocad requires high performance PCs.

Solves problems to integrate autocad design with geographical location.

As a beginner in this field, i could easily catch up the UI and most of the features. So it is very user friendly and many more innovative features incorporated in this.

Though many new features incorporated, the existing features are not upto the mark. The developers should work to optimize the app to enhance processing speed and have to work on simple features like zoom in/out.

I am new to this field, and ArcGIS for autoCAD helped me to get a good hands on experience.

It's a nice software to complement AutoCAS

I don't think there is anything to dislike.

Site coordinates for bridge projects

Works with simple netload command

Great Plugin into AutoCad tool

It can be loaded using a custom script

A superb combination of Mapping & 3D Build dimensioning software

I really like the accessibility it gives the user and the ease of interface.

I don't really have any complaints with the product - I think it works very seamlessly.

The ability to track certain subjects and to detect patterns.

Arcgis is the bussiness friendly platform where work gets a heavy flow with excessive support technical as well as manual 24×7 customer as well as strategic support..

Arcgis has well defined corner of support,training,consultancy and cloud management..

With standard level of consultancy support and training project get chances of implement high technology to make short term consultancy projects to high transformational projects and focussed bussiness..

Customer portal is quite not up to the mark..

Can easily pull up a map of the entire state in AutoCAD to aid in project design. Very high resolution and simple/quick process to retrieve

Honestly, nothing. It is very helpful and I would recommend to anyone

Transportation design projects

I can open large format files and GIS sets that contain huge amounts of data without my computer slowing down.

It could be a bit more responsive at opening a string of .gis files that contain images and reference documents/attachments.

We use ArcGIS to import site / civil surveys into our CAD models for new and existing renovation projects. The data from GIS maps is integrated with the survey and mapped accurately using points from the field. The benefit is the accuracy of the maps, and allowing to get into detail without too much lag or freezing on any computer - its reliable.

Automated conversion of AutoCAD data to ArcGIS data that can be used as features and layers in a GIS.

Gotcha: "Leaky rectangles". If corners of manually created rectangles have the slightest of gaps, the converter does not interpret the object as a rectangle. Instead it sees it as vectors at right angles. Requires manually extending those vectors until they actually touch at the corners. Time consuming. But I realize this is human error on the AutoCAD side, just should somehow be intelligent enough to be "forgiving" for a couple pixels at least.

This is the best on the market for filling this conversion nitch. I hadn't mentioned it, but we also can import maps into AutoCAD which is also useful to help with digitizing from field data.

Specifically, we were able to convert architectural drawings of interior of San Diego Convention Center into GIS data from which we created an interior 3D GIS so that attendees could be routed to their next meeting across 3 floors without stepping outside. It also predicted how long it would take to walk.

ArcGIS is the first mapping software to use for professional mapping. The package comes with ArcCatalog, which is great for organizing files. There are many ways to use the software, if you can learn how the functions work together. Everything is referenced on a coordinate system, which means everything you do is fundamentally related to the real world. The raster uses and analyzes are high-level as well. ArcGIS is extremely user-friendly and the possibility of doing so many tasks, from vectorizing a geographic chart to working statistics in thematic maps, excellent as a tool for planning a specific territory.

The major issue that I've run into is the crashing program. I deal with big data on relatively new machines and despite their power, it can be pretty easy to overpower them. While it is easy to get the hang of what the software will or will not be able to handle, it would be nicer to have a program which draws less processing power. The image processing module does not seem to complete, I think it is necessary to develop it more.

I would recommend something else if you have no money and must have a free GIS software suite. Otherwise, there should not be any question. If you are going to learn GIS, learn the one that every employer is looking for in GIS analyst. ArcGIS is used by so many people so it is worth it for an individual or a company to purchase the product. The support team is always helpful as well.

I always receive requests from supervisors, clients, fellow students and colleagues from different types of geographic information, which is refined, georeferenced, analyzed and in its cartographic output format. Therefore, to do all these operations it is necessary to use the ArcGIS to manipulate entities with their attributes in an efficient way linked to the requirements of third parties. I have used ArcGIS for the regionalization of the territory, the analysis of the regional urban system of different territorial areas, and the construction of topographic and thematic cartography for territorial diagnosis. Visualizing any data and traffic-related or not traffic related. It is easy to interpret numbers by using mapping, at least easy to present. Providing spatial analysis is an effective tool thanks to ArcGIS. It certainly uses spatial and numerical anlaysis easier in terms of visualization.
