What is ArcGIS for AutoCAD?

ArcGIS for AutoCAD is a free downloadable tool that offers seamless interoperability between AutoCAD and the ArcGIS platform. Within the AutoCAD environment, you gain easy access to enterprise GIS data and imagery published by ArcGIS Server. In addition, ArcGIS for AutoCAD gives you the ability to prepare CAD data for ArcGIS using your existing CAD standards.

Use ArcGIS for AutoCAD to:

• Streamline information sharing between GIS and CAD groups.
• View live GIS maps and display GIS symbology of underlying GIS data inside AutoCAD.
• Include the results of GIS analysis in AutoCAD designs.
• Create, manipulate, and define how CAD data is organised and attributed as GIS content so it can be used in ArcGIS Desktop or AutoCAD.
