Featured Data Format: CAD (*.dwg, *.dxf)

Map Suite is data agnostic allowing you to read almost any data format. For a complete list of supported formats go here. In case you have a format that is not supported you can extend Map Suite by building your own feature source. For details on building your own feature source review the “Integrating Custom Data Formats” webinar.

In a previous post we featured KML. Today, we’d like to discuss another very popular format – CAD (*.dwg, *.dxf) drawings. Thanks to the CadFeatureLayer which was natively introduced with Map Suite 8.0, you can render CAD drawings on your map using either the embedded styles from the drawing or your own custom style.
