ArcGIS for AutoCAD

ESRI's latest release of ArcGIS for AutoCAD simplifies the communication between CAD and GIS platform.  For those using AutoCAD and not Map 3D or Civil 3D this is a pretty good tool.  You can use ArcGIS for AutoCAD to do the following:

Use ArcGIS for AutoCAD to

• Streamline information sharing between GIS and CAD groups.
• View live, rich cartographic GIS maps in AutoCAD.
• Include the results of GIS analysis in AutoCAD designs.
• Add imagery to your AutoCAD drawing.
• Create, manipulate, and define how CAD data is organized and attributed as GIS content so it can be used in ArcGIS for Desktop or AutoCAD.
• Navigate your AutoCAD session based on street address or place names.
