I would like to share what I saw in last week; the geoExpressions is stored into my blogline. These webcast is created by Autodesk, hosted by DLT Solutions, Inc.. It's focus on water/ wasterwater management by using AutoCAD Map 3D.

Before to see the webcast, why we need to manage geo-spatial data? Do we need it for our project?
- Bill of Materials
- Scheduling
- Budgeting
- Pre-planning
- Feasibility Study
- Site selection
- Surface studies

You will get the idea from the webcast as below:

Michael Schlosser had shown the AutoCAD Map 3D capabilities from CAD query, thematic to network topology analysis.

Improving Access to your Water/Wastewater Data with AutoCAD Map 3D
Presenter: Peter Southwood, Autodesk

Generally speaking GIS data is very useful when you need to doing thematic map, spatial analysis or query, but it's not really popular in many departments. They are still using CAD file for managing their spatial data. IN last century they like to use CAD entities e.g. linetype, color, attribute etc. to helping their routine job. Actually this is very useful existing information for developing GIS system. How to increase the efficiency about the migration process? This is not easy to do if you use the pure GIS software, as it involves many CAD processing. How to apply it to the design, build, operate and maintain process?
