Tutorial AutoCad to ArcMap and ArcMap to AutoCAD

Module content

This tutorial will cover how to bring a .dwg AutoCAD file into ArcMap and how to export ArcMap layers
for use in AutoCAD

Adding an AutoCAD file to an ArcMap Project

AutoCAD files can be directly added to an ArcMap project. When saving your .dwg file in AutoCAD

make sure that there are no spaces in the file name, for example Autocadfile.dwg. Save the .dwg in

one of your ArcMap project folders. In this case we will add an Ordnance Survey .dwg file to our

ArcMap project.

Open the .mxd project that you want to add the AutoCAD file to. Select Add Data and navigate to

the AutoCAD file you want to add. Select the .dwg file and click Add.

Download Google Earth KML and KMZ to SHP converter

Need of transferring Google Earth Data to a GIS? Kml2shp transforms KML 
files into ESRI Shapefiles.

The KML file could contain Points, Paths and Polygons. When creating SHP 
files the information is separated into thematic layers.

For each shapefile (shp), an attributes table (dbf) and index file (shx) are 
created.

The kml to shp conversion consists of three steps:

1) Open KML file
2) Choose Shape Type
3) Select output Shapefile name

Optionally, you can change from WGS84 to a local datum and from Lat/Lon to 
UTM.

Also, Kml2shp can export to AutoCAD (DXF) and GPS (GPX)


Download a very useful and simple software to convert your KML or KMZ file (From Google Earth) to Esri   Shapefile (SHP)
