Referenced drawings (xrefs) that are inserted using the Bind option in AutoCAD are supported. They are often used for logos or complex point-of-interest symbols, but after import into Indoors, the resulting feature may not have any meaning without the content it represents. Remove proxy objects from the drawing file because they don’t import into Indoors as intended.

In ArcGIS Pro, the Repair Geometry tool also addresses some of the items listed. In AutoCAD, there are also Purge, Overkill, and Audit tools that can help you manage these conditions, and you can also configure the constraint settings for the Auto Constrain tool to detect these items. Ensure that the layers for important geometries such as levels, units, and facilities are included.ĪutoCAD Map 3D includes a Drawing Cleanup tool that fixes some of the items listed above. The AutoCAD layers you want to use in the Indoors model must be turned on and unfrozen. This must be completed before importing the AutoCAD floor plans into the Indoors model using the Import Floorplans To Indoors Geodatabase tool. You can georeference AutoCAD drawings in AutoCAD Map 3D or in ArcGIS Pro. The data must be drawn to scale and the drawing units must match the georeferenced units in ArcGIS. Coordinate systemsĪll drawings must be properly positioned to ensure that the building and floor plan features are in the right place at the right size for the corresponding coordinate system. The following data preparation requirements ensure that AutoCAD data can be used in ArcGIS without issue. The guidance on the AutoCAD quality standards below helps ensure that the data is ready for the Indoors model, and the listed best practices help ensure successful import. Part of preparing Autodesk AutoCAD floor plan drawings for the ArcGIS Indoors Information Model includes aligning to certain quality standards before import.

Available for an ArcGIS organization licensed with the Indoors extension.
