Summary:When comparing the data for computer-aided design and geographic information systems, there is much common ground. However, there is also data that does not need to be shared between the 2 disciplines. Seamless integration should not just be the concurrent use of all data, but it should be the sharing and usage of common data. More and more vendors are realizing the importance of offering viewers or servers that make it easy to acquire needed data. Software can be purchased that can collect any type of data and then bring into it the CAD or GIS world.
