Cadalyst Article on Geospatial Analysis with AutoCAD Map 3D

August 25, 2009 in AutoCAD, CAD

Here’s a short post on my first Cadalyst article which was published on August 19, 2009. Think of this first article as an introduction to geospatial analysis with AutoCAD Map 3D. Then watch for additional articles in this series as I expand on the “how to” aspects of the following topics:

  • Queries
  • Thematic mapping
  • Buffers
  • Geospatial topology
  • 3D surfaces
Please be sure to check it out!

SolidWorks World 2010: Call for Papers

August 20, 2009 in CAD, SolidWorks

SolidWorks World wouldn’t be the same without the Breakout Sessions and their presenters.  Each year, there is a call for papers.  This is where anyone with experience in a particular topic can propose a presentation as a speaker.  Not everyone who submits a paper will have their presentation accepted.  However, you never know.

Topics of interest [...]

Learn Geospatial Analysis at AU2009

August 19, 2009 in AutoCAD, CAD

Autodesk University 2009 (AU2009) will be held December 1-3, 2009 at the Mandalay Bay Resort, Las Vegas. AU2009 is one of my favorite learning events of the year and the perfect opportunity to connect with professionals from all over the world and explore new ideas, technologies and workflows. Early registration for AU2009 commenced on August 12.

I’m thrilled to be participating at this event and happy to once again have the pleasure of facilitating a class on geospatial analysis. If you are an engineering, CAD or GIS professional; if you are an existing AutoCAD Map 3D user; or simply interested in learning how to analyze your CAD drawings and geospatial data; check out my 90-minute class entitled, “Analyze This! How to use AutoCAD Map 3D for Geospatial Analysis”. The topics that will be covered include:

  • Enhanced overlay capabilities and the new workflow framework
  • Databases, tabular joins and the expression builder
  • Thematic mapping techniques
  • Geospatial buffers and point, line and polygon topologies
  • 3D surfaces

If you have a preference for the type of analysis that you want discussed and demonstrated during this class, please register your vote in the polling question entitled, Pick your AU2009 Topic, which is located to the right of this post and/or leave a comment.

If you’re going to be attending AU2009, be sure to register for Class ID: GS314-2 and please say “Hi”. I look forward to meeting you!

Cowboys, Barbeque and Geospatial Analysis

August 4, 2009 in AutoCAD, CAD

Yee Haw! It’s Stampede Week in Calgary, Alberta and what better way to celebrate than to combine Stampede attire (ie cowboy hat, jeans, big belt buckle and boots) with a seminar on Geospatial Analysis. Well, it seemed like a crazy idea; however, the folks at Autodraft, Inc have a great sense of fun. So, when I was given the opportunity to talk about my favorite topic of Engineering GIS and CAD/GIS integration, I jumped at the chance.

In spite of the Stampede traffic, the rain and the tornado watches, folks came out in droves to learn how to analyze their CAD drawings and geospatial data using the powerful geospatial analysis tools found in Engineering GIS. With the help of my pardner “Cowboy Bob”, we delivered a seminar entitled “Geospatial Analysis for the Egnineering and CAD Professional“. We used AutoCAD Map 3D, AutoCAD Raster Design and Autodesk Topobase to demonstrate numerous geospatial techniques including…

Sample Buffer Analysis performed with AutoCAD Map 3D

  • Queries and how to use them to get more information from CAD drawings and GIS data sources
  • Drawing cleanup tools and why they are necessary to ensure the accuracy and correctness of CAD and GIS data
  • Topology, it’s importance for CAD and GIS users alike and how to create topologically correct features
  • Spatial analysis such as network traces and their use with CAD and GIS data
  • Polygon overlay and its power to reveal new patterns in CAD and GIS dataSample 3D Surface Analysis performed with AutoCAD Map 3D
  • Buffer analysis and why it’s sometime the best way to determine spatial proximity
  • 3D surfaces and how to analyze them for height, slope and aspect
  • Raster to vector conversion and how to combine scanned CAD drawings, maps and aerial imagery with vector-based CAD and GIS data
  • And more…

After the presentation, we all moseyed on down to the Autodraft corral for a great Stampede barbeque, refreshments and conversation.

A fun and informative Yee Haw time was had by all!
