Automating conversion of drawings to indoor maps and plans. One example is a computer-implemented comprising: preprocessing an original CAD drawing to create a modified CAD drawing, a text database containing text from the original CAD drawing, a CAD vector-image of the modified CAD drawing, and a CAD raster-image of the modified CAD drawing; determining a floor depicted in the CAD drawing, the determining results in a floor-level bounding line; sensing furniture depicted on the floor by applying the floor-level bounding line, the CAD vector-image, and the text database to machine-learning algorithms, the sensing results in a plurality of furniture entities and associated location information; identifying each room depicted in the CAD drawing, the identifying results in a plurality of room outlines; and creating an indoor map for the floor by combining the plurality of furniture entities and associated location information with the plurality of room outlines.
