CAD and GIS Integration

When used together effectively, computer-aided design (CAD) and geospatial information systems (GIS) have a solid track record for streamlining decision making and reducing inefficiencies in the design, planning, and execution of critical operations and projects. And a growing number of engineering tasks in numerous fields-including design, archite Current trends and future directions in CAD / Omer Akin Current trends and future directions in GIS / Piyawan Kasemsuppakorn, Duangduen Roongpiboonsopit, and Hassan A.
