A free online seminar this month will teach people the new methods and tools in ESRI ArcGIS 9.2 software for working with computer-aided design (CAD) data.
Working with CAD Data in ArcGIS 9.2 will air on ESRI’s training and education Web site at www.esri.com/training on April 26, 2007, at 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 3:00 p.m. Pacific daylight time.
ArcGIS 9.2 contains many new methods and tools for working with CAD. The seminar’s presenters will introduce the new CAD dataset organization, rendering, and expanded property support as well as the new tools for georeferencing CAD data.
They will also discuss the techniques for using CAD data as input to ArcGIS geoprocessing tools and demonstrate methods for converting data to and from CAD and geographic information system (GIS) formats. The seminar will cover ArcGIS for AutoCAD, a free AutoCAD application that allows CAD users to visualize and query ArcGIS Server map services within the AutoCAD environment.
The online seminar is designed for people familiar with ArcGIS Desktop who want to learn to integrate CAD data into their GIS. However, experienced CAD users new to ArcGIS also will find the seminar of interest.
A broadband Internet connection and an ESRI Global Account are needed to watch the seminar. Creating a global account is easy and free. It only takes a few minutes to set up by visiting www.esri.com/lts, clicking Login, and registering your name and address.
