Your mission, should you chose to accept it: CAD to GIS (Basic)

Import Parcels

Extract attributes from labels

Position in label determines which attribute to populate.

Vertical labels can be rotated to determine position.

Solution

Overlay labels on parcel polygons.

Create list of all inside labels.

Solution

List contains all of the label strings, but not in any order.

Use ListSorter to order list for extraction.

Solution

Populate output attributes from ordered list.

Write to Geodatabase.

What made this possible● Exploit Annotation Organization

● Use Annotation Location to associate with Geometry.

Your mission, should you chose to accept it: CAD to GIS (Advanced)

● Leaders● Callouts● Tables● Many

levels

Solution

Solution

Move label to head of leader dimension

Solution

Solution

Solution

Convert Station leader to point and extract attributes from text

SolutionAssociate text with line using NeighborFinder

Use first coordinate of line for output point

Station has prefix ‘+’

Solution

Move Callout text to placement point

Solution

Removed

Changed

Polygon with Spike

Overlay text onto Callout polygon, then use Removed Point from SpikeRemover for location

SpikeRemover Input SpikeRemover Output

Solution

Table lines and text can be stored in same Annotation Feature Class

Solution

What made this possible

FME’s spatial manipulation and filtering transformers

Your mission, should you chose to accept it: Validation

Online demo: knowledge.safe.com/articles/Samples_and_Demos/Data-Upload-Validation-and-Real-time-Display

Validation Webinar:www.safe.com/webinar/data-validation-webinar/

Solution

SolutionFailed validation produces HTML file with errors and Google Map of location

SolutionSuccessful validation writes data to Geodatabase

SolutionPublish to FME Server

What made this possibleGeometryValidator and Tester transformers to validate geometry and attributes

XMLTemplater to create HTML reports

Special attribute fme_db_operation set action to Insert, Delete or Update on output features.

Check out all new AttributeValidator now in FME 2016 beta!

Your mission, should you chose to accept it: GIS to CAD

Solution

Solution

Label roads, parks and transit lines with the MapTextLabeller

Solution

Set the output DWG symbology using the DWGStyler transformer

What made this possibleThe MaptextLabeller labeling rules ease the creation of sophisticated map annotation.

The DWGStyler is a one-stop shop for setting CAD symbology.

SummaryKey takeaways:

● FME has been tackling CAD<->GIS for 20+ years.

● CAD Standards are a huge help!!

● Have a step by step plan. Take it step by step.
