AbstractEngGIS- Engineering Applications employing GIS Technology Track: Engineering Analysis Author(s): Constantine Tonias GIS has spread out into many different fields. Engineers and Surveyors, who both have been heavy CAD users, have incorporated GIS into their work flow. Industry diversity emphasizes the importance of being able to integrate data with maps for the performance of various analyses. A natural extension, therefore, would be to incorporate the design process with GIS. If we are using GIS to pre-process (import) base data, and post-process (update) base data, why not create all of the data directly within GIS. This paper addresses how civil engineering applications such as roadway design, plan and profile drawing preparation, sewer and water distribution systems modeling can be performed directly within the ArcGIS® environment. In so doing, the need to pass data back and forth from CAD can be eliminated. Learn how to customized commands and tools developed using Avenue Wraps™ and ArcObjects® to bring engineering design functionality into the ArcGIS environment.
