A Wonderful Awful IdeaThe Solution
Great Grinchy TricksKey Takeaways
You’re not limited to a single dataset
format, FME can merge your different
datasets together regardless of how
different they are.
CAD data is more useful in GIS when the
implied meaning is made explicit.
Puzzler to Solve
Go to GIS with the intention
of
round-tripping
Retain all the symbology
information in the GIS
representation

Pack all the CAD symbology
into a opaque single blob
attribute to restore on the
way back
Puzzler to Solve
Create a rich CAD dataset
from the GIS data
To Spec Symbolized Labeled
