From CAD to GIS: where are we?
CAD and GIS are often considered as contradictory. However, we are regularly asked to help to perform a transition from CAD to GIS.
We would like to share with you an overview of situations where this transition succeeded. For this, we will go through issues and solutions we provided.
We will talk about the differences and similarities between those two worlds.
We will review the existing file formats.
We will make a list of available opensource tools that can facilitate this transition: gdal, QGIS and its plugins.
We will show that almost anything needed can be realized within QGIS today.
Finally, we will introduce a verification tool that can validate data in order to facilitate their integration: QompliGIS.
Not only will we talk about theory, but we will also give each case a concrete example of the work done for it, since several years.
Loïc Bartoletti has a dual background as a historian and urban planner (University of Grenoble), specializing in territorial analysis.
He has worked in the Geographic Information Systems and CAD/BIM for 10 years. As a developer, user and former decision maker, he can synthesize the expressions of each.
He joined the Megève Town Hall in order to take care of the municipality's major projects. Shortly afterwards, he was responsible for creating and managing the engineering office. Faced with rationalizing resources and tools, he chose to migrate data from CAD to GIS and developed business tools on QGIS.
He contributed on his free time to QGIS and to maintaining CAD and GIS tools on FreeBSD.
Loïc Bartoletti is passionate about computers and an ardent supporter of open source. He joined the Oslandia team at the beginning of 2018. He is involved in the development of QGIS and business tools.
I qualified as an engineer in electronics and industrial data processing through a three-year M.Sc.
My interest in computer programming reinforced during 3 years of data processing at STMicroelectronics.
After university, my 3 years at CEA-LETI created a passion for image/geometry processing and python language.
At Unistellar, I bring my knowledge in algorithmic and signal processing in order to work with embedded informatics constraints in terms of performance, optimization, and platform.
In 2019, I am in charge of a GIS in a consulting mission during which I increase my python skill, and capitalize on my experience in data and geometry processing. As a result, I discover the power and huge scope of open source software QGIS, and the strength of its community.
After this mission, I joined Oslandia in 2021 to get closer to opensource values, to cartography, and to QGIS community.
