Problem

Generating alignment sheets is a tedious process Point-by-point drawing/setup in AutoCAD Once created, data is static (PDF) Lots of manual data entry

3rd party “page cutter” application Cost Complexity reduction Static product

Solution

Data Driven Pages in ArcGIS 10 ArcToolbox custom tool Data processed by FME in ArcGIS Server

Interoperability extension Published parameters become arguments for ESRI’s

Model Builder

Process Flow Diagram

Raw Survey CSV file

ESRI Geodatabase

ESRI Custom Tool

(python script)

ArcGIS Custom Tool

Sets up sheet orientation and creates “pagecutter” polygons

Calculates deflection and bearing angles Calculates stationing on pipeline

Line Measures to points on line Updates geodatabase Packages geodatabase and MXD into ESRI Map

Pack

ArcGIS Custom Tool Details

Tools Used ArcGIS Server 10.01 (Geoprocessing Service) FME Data Interop Extension for ArcGIS Server Python ArcGIS Model Builder

Several Models and Python scripts in conjuction with FME generate a map package that contains the MXD and the file geodatabase needed for an alignment sheet

Final Product

ESRI ArcGIS 10.0 Map Pack Data Driven Pages Geodatabase with required data

Benefits Data is “live” and editable One file (mpk) contains all data and connections Automation = time saved! Retire 3rd party application = $$$ saved!

Final Product

Thank You!
