Safe Software Enables Seamless Integration of Civil 3D Data into GIS
March 12, 2010Safe Software announced that its leading spatial extract, transform and load (ETL) solution, FME, can now seamlessly integrate Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D data into geographic information systems (GIS). These new capabilities are designed to help municipalities more efficiently leverage contractor data submissions to maintain their GIS dataset for meeting their federal asset management requirements.
According to the announcment, strong market demand for a more efficient solution, Safe Software introduced interoperability for Civil 3D data by extending FME to support reading this format. Civil 3D datasets can now be quickly translated and transformed into information that is immediately usable within municipal geographic information systems.
"The ability to effortlessly import engineering data into our GIS environment will not only save us time from a data entry perspective, but it will help us get the data out to the maintenance crews who need the information in a much more timely fashion," says Steve Scheepmaker, Manager of Information Technology at the Township of Langley.
"At Safe, we're committed to improving data interoperability for GIS professionals so they can get the most out of all of the spatial data they interact with," says Dale Lutz, Vice President of Development at Safe Software. "We're now eager to witness the innovative ways customers tap into the richness that Civil 3D data holds."
