how i can change from gis (arc view) to auto cad dwg?

Answer 1

ArcGIS toolbox can export to DXF/DWG, Autodesk Map can import/translate to DWG, Bentley MicroStation can import/translate/export to DWG. Note, all of this is for vector files, such as SHP points, polylines, polygons, not rasters.



If you are using Autodesk products, I suggest getting Autodesk Map, as it gives you the interoperability with GIS data (you don't even have to convert it), but you work in AutoCAD. You can get a 30-day trial from your local reseller. Note that AutoCAD Land Development Desktop and Civil are both built on top of, and therefore include Autodesk Map.



If it is a one-time-only thing, you can usually ask someone to do the conversion for you, just have them convert the area and layers of interest.

Stark seems to use Palladium isotope from his missiles as the reactor's fuel. Once the reaction starts, the energy harnessed is enourmous at 3 GJ/s or equivalent to 3 GW. (That's more than twice energy required for time-travelling (which needed only 1.21 GW of power) in Back to the Future films). This power can be used to power up his suit for a long time for his enhanced reactor, not the first one. To make this extremely efficient power supply, I believe we can. And I believe it is possible. But I think that it can be done only in a few hundred years. The movie is purely fictional and I believe that the writer are just fantasizing about the perfect energy source. (Dreams mostly become true eventually). If we are living in 19th century, people won't believe you if you can send sound wave and pictures accross the globe. Now, it's possible. So what makes an arc reactor impossible? It can be done. But not in recent time.

Answer 3

Get a program called "global mapper" It does all kinds of conversions including STDS Dems to DXF, and any other gis info you have. It will change to DXF which you can open with Autocad or insert as a block. Autodesk Map will load gis data but it's awkward to work with. Global mapper is under 400 I think but it is very much worth the price and you will find you use it frequently to create linework for shapefiles, and do conversions. There is no program which will open an entire map in one and switch it to the other. This is because the software companies only want you to work with their stuff.

Answer 4

With an ArcInfo licence you can export from ArcGIS to DWG (I think it's in CAD conversion tools in ArcToolbox, not at my workstation right now).



I haven't used FME or the Data Interoperability extension but this is something they should handle without problems.
