This document outlines the agenda and process for integrating CAD and GIS systems for an Environmental Utility Department. [1] It describes the initial disconnected workflow between their AutoCAD, ArcInfo, and Hansen systems and the challenges this caused. [2] Ideate helped integrate the systems by replicating Hansen asset tables in AutoCAD, automatically populating attributes, and exporting to SHP files for ArcSDE. [3] This streamlined the process, improved data accuracy, and reduced staff time spent on maintenance between the different software tools.

City of Roseville Case Study
Today’s Agenda I. Introduction II. Background Information III. Initial Process IV. The Challenge V. How Ideate Helped VI. Final Results VII. Moving Forward… VIII. Contact Us
Background Information • Located approximately 22 miles northeast of Sacramento • Population of approximately 106,000 and growing • Ranked 2nd out of 16 cities (Sacramento Business Journal) • 1,500 miles of Environmental Utility Pipeline infrastructure COREUD Administration Building • Staff of four full-time employees, two part-time
Initial Process • AutoCAD MAP used to capture and create environmental utility data • ArcInfo used for analysis and maintenance of the GIS data • HANSEN used to manage utility asset attribute data • AML routines written in ArcInfo to link new GIS data to HANSEN
Initial Process HANSEN AML DXF ArcInfo AutoCAD MAP
The Challenge • CAD and GIS software tools not integrated well with each other • Import and exporting data led to redundancy and overlapping work • CAD/GIS workflow process was not very repeatable by staff • Streamlining process would require additional software and training
How Ideate Helped • Replicated all asset information tables from HANSEN into CAD • Created object data tables within AutoCAD MAP to capture attributes • Automatically populated pipe and manhole attributes (ID, TO, FROM, Layer, etc.) to object data tables • Already linked to HANSEN from the ID’s created on the CAD side • Exported to SHP files, and uploaded into ArcSDE
How Ideate Helped HANSEN Object Data SHP SHP ArcInfo AutoCAD MAP ArcSDE
The Results • EUD staff trained to clean data, less time spent by management • Accuracy of data was improved by performing QAQC within one location using error checking • Less time spent on the GIS side maintaining the CAD utility data • No peripheral 3rd party software or training investments needed
Moving Forward… • Upgraded to ArcSDE 9.2 as their central GIS database • Connecting directly to ArcSDE from AutoCAD MAP 3D to access, edit, and maintain utility information • Utility and infrastructure data accessed online with ArcIMS • Distributing the data to field personnel using the DWF Viewer
Moving Forward… HANSEN ArcIMS DWF Viewer Clerical Field Crew Object Data SHP SHP ArcInfo AutoCAD MAP ArcSDE
