Geographic Information Systems (GIS) development is now a norm around the world. Clients like government agencies, municipalities ask all project data in GIS ready file format so they can update their national GIS. Engineering new data is created & existing data is available in Computer Aided Drafting & Designing (CAD) software’s in DWG (Autodesk AutoCAD) or DGN (Bentley Systems MicroStation) file formats. CAD file format can store multiple objects, geometry types etc. point, line, polygon, circle, arc and blocks altogether at in one file. GIS file can store one type of object, geometry in one file and store point, line and polygon separately. CAD to GIS data conversion is big task and now a days in demand skill.
