Esri ’ s ArcGIS basemaps integrated into Autodesk Civil 3D and AutoCAD
Industry leaders in the architecture , engineering and construction ( AEC ) sectors are increasingly relying on the interoperability of geographic information systems ( GIS ) and building information modelling ( BIM ) to reduce costs and boost efficiency across construction projects . In support of AEC organisations , Esri , the global leader in location intelligence , and Autodesk , an industry leader in design and engineering , are expanding their strategic alliance .
“ Esri is proud to bring this new integration to Autodesk users , empowering them with enhanced visibility of existing conditions for better-informed design decisions that reduce environmental impacts ,” said Kathleen Kewley , Esri Director for AEC global business development .
The integration of ArcGIS Basemaps with Civil 3D and AutoCAD provides AEC professionals with detailed geospatial data and mapping capabilities . The new integrations further unify GIS and BIM , delivering real business value to architects , engineers , planners and contractors .
“ Unleashing the power of ArcGIS Basemaps in Civil 3D and AutoCAD provides users with an unparalleled geographical perspective , driving precision in decision-making and fostering a more sustainable built environment ,” said Eric DesRoche , Autodesk Senior Manager , Infrastructure Strategy , AEC design . “ This new integration is a testament to our unwavering commitment to innovation and collaboration .”
“ ArcGIS Basemaps serves as the cornerstone of our mapping products ,” said Bridget Brown , Geospatial and Information Management Director for HDR , a user of Esri and Autodesk software . “ These carefully styled basemaps not only offer vital location context but also liberate our teams from creating them from the ground up , allowing us to concentrate on project-specific data . Additionally , the capability to customise these basemaps using the vector tile style editor empowers us to unlock new realms of cartographic creativity when needed .”
“ ArcGIS Basemaps are the contextual canvas that establishes one of the most important elements when answering the question of ‘ where ’,” said Darin Welch , Associate Vice President , Design , Geospatial and Community Intelligence , HNTB Digital Transformation Solutions , another Esri and Autodesk user . “ Esri ’ s basemaps have equipped our teams with immediate and accurate representation of the surrounding world , and the situational awareness necessary for making the best transportation decisions for improving our communities .” �
