I would call ESRI support.  This is a big step and should not be handled alone. for NERC purposes we have servers in our main office and in separate secure location about 50 miles away.   ... View more

Ok this explanation may get a little confusing but I will try my best.  I would suggest making a Model to import a single drawing.  Top left, NewConstruction is a database MEA... is the drawing CADName is the name of the FeatureData set that will be created in newConstruction that will house this drawing. One of the issues is that the CAD To Geodatabase will name all points as Point, Lines as Line etc Test the model to make sure it works. Export the Model to Python You see the name of the drawing, It appears in multiple formats. MEA021_A_WRDM865_Transmit_Si_DWG  Change these to CADDwg MEA021_A_WRDM865_Transmit_Si.DWG  Change everything before the .DWG (or your extension) to CADDwg at the bottom of the script add del CADDwg del CADName Now get a list from a cmd prompt of all your drawings remove the extension and paste them all into a column in table in MS Access. remove the red items and blank lines from the script and paste it into a field in a different MS Access table. Make a new table in Access from joining the two tables Use the replace function to replace CADDWg with the name of the drawing, minus the extension. You should now have a series of scripts to import the drawings into a single database.  Put the script back into python. The Del functions clear out the previous use of the variables so they can be used again. Sounds like hooey but I once received 4500 stakeout drawings that had been converted to file geodatabases and had to work out a way to get them all in one database. I then created another series of scripts to append them all into one. ... View more

Do you know if all of your drawings are identical in layout.  Meaning are all layers named the same? However, at the end of the day converting AutoCAD to GIS is very time consuming and can be frustrating.  No matter how good the CAD person thinks they were there will be a number of issue.  Lines won't actually be snapped Blocks As example. I have converted Electric Distribution.  Quite often someone will want to change a line from A phase to B phase.  They should change the layer the line is in, but they just change the color for that line. ...

You don't have the GPU power.  What you have is more built for people on MS Office and general computer use and web browsing.   The integrated Intel graphics, while very good, are not meant for these types of applications. It does not take much of a card but it normally takes more than Intel Chipset ... View more

Have you set visibility scales?  When looking on a phone seeing everything at the state level may not be helpful anyway as things are more of a blob rather then features.  Have your scale set for more in close looking. I had one of my collector apps set to State.  But the field crews were only needing to see things closer then 1:10000 so I adjusted and everything was better. Also, check your symbols. Online does not work well with complex symbols ... View more

I would suggest taking some GIS classes at a local university. You need to determine what you want to show in your project and then either go looking for the data or making it. http://www.reefbase.org/gis_maps/datasets.aspx https://catalog.data.gov/dataset?tags=coral+reefs ... View more

I have spent most the first 13 years of my GIS career (at this job) converting AutoCAD drawings of electric distribution systems to a working ESRI GIS. Bringing a CAD dwg into ArcMap should not cause it to freeze up. Granted 2gb is a large DWG. On a copy of your drawing.  Clean it up first.  I cannot remember the CAD command any more but there is a command to clear out and clean up the drawing and get rid of fields that are not being used anymore.  it is has an effect it will make your drawing smaller. But if your having the issue with the computer lag in ArcMap in general upgrading the OS won't make much difference. What are your computer specs?   Processor RAM GPU Using explorer how much HDD space do you have?  If it is less than 10% you need to clean some out. Run disk defragmenter Are you pulling the drawings through a network?  If so try putting the drawing on your HDD.  Is your database on a network.  If so put it on your HDD. We had a heck of a time trying to edit databases in our network until we upgraded to 100 GB ... View more

Probably not what the reps want to hear but you may consider staying with ArcMap. the inability to edit in a geometric network is a real bugger with Pro.  We are going let the utility network be out for awhile before plunging into it. ... View more
