CAD layers in CAD software can be used to organize data and control visibility, and the default symbolic properties of entities in the drawing.Unlike GIS layers, this content can be of any geometric type and there is no requirement for consistent attribution. CAD feature dataset in the mapĪdding a CAD feature dataset to a map generates a group layer of feature layers. To validate the positioning information for any CAD or BIM file, you can inspect the file properties in catalog and perform a coordinate positioning validation. Notifications will guide you to choose the proper spatial reference, and you will be presented with tools for any necessary CAD data repositioning. You will be alerted by ArcGIS Pro when attempting to add CAD data that does not have a proper spatial reference. CAD files are required to have a valid Esri coordinate system (PRJ) file, and may require an optional coordinate transformation information (WLD file) to identify how the coordinates in the CAD data should be positioned on the earth's surface. CAD data positioningĬAD data is a common source of GIS content, but before it can be used in ArcGIS Pro, the data must have a defined coordinate location. Please note that we are no longer able to provide network storage shares.You can optionally convert CAD feature datasets to the project geodatabase in the CAD options. Special Course or Project shares: If you require a place to store and share files for your project or course, please first review the other files-sharing options such as Box.
