Esri & Autodesk Integrations

Architects, contractors, builders, engineers, designers and planners face an immediate opportunity to influence significant process change to improve efficiency and project outcomes. Esri and Autodesk have partnered to make sure that our technology and our resources support this digital transformation

As software leaders, we believe that working together to create direct, faster, and more transparent data flow between our systems will enable our customers to positively impact the way we build things. By streamlining information exchange early in the design phase, we can responsibly consider the natural environment and set achievable goals for sustainability and resiliency.

 

GIS & BIM Resources

 

ArcGIS Pro & BIM

Desktop GIS software continues to support CAD data and now BIM & Civil 3D objects through our newest 64-bit program, ArcGIS Pro. Even if your CAD data or Revit model doesn’t have a known coordinate system, you can use tools within ArcGIS Pro to georeference your CAD drawing and Revit model and place it in is real-world location so that it lines up with the rest of your data.

 

AutoCAD

ArcGIS for AutoCAD is a free plug-in that simplifies the way you share and synchronize GIS content between AutoCAD and ArcGIS. Enrich your CAD drawings with ArcGIS hosted maps, imagery, and geographic features. Edit geographic features within AutoCAD and use them for navigating the drawing through location.  Learn how Black & Veatch boosts productivity with ArcGIS for AutoCAD.

Civil 3D & InfraWorks

The Autodesk Connector for ArcGIS is the first step toward realizing the vision of the partnership between Autodesk and Esri to integrate BIM and GIS workflows. This new feature allows you to improve GIS data request coordination and enhance design optimization workflows. With this capability, all attributes of the GIS data are added to the model, making the 3D context model much more intelligent, robust and accurate.
