Over the last few years, ESRI/ArcGIS has been advancing data interoperability between CAD and GIS – using ArcGIS, I love the ease with which I can pull in CAD data in GIS and vice versa for the Engineers and Architects I work with who need to pull in GIS data into their CAD software.
I often work with CAD data that is often in paper space (not in geographic space that has real world coordinates), so I need to georeference the CAD file and be able to bring it into GIS and view it along with other GIS layers.
