Field To Finish

!  FME process to convert the exported .CSV file to a .DWG file with all point data mapped to attributed blocks and line features.

!  Data QA/QC and manipulation into centralized data store.

!  Data extraction from centralized data store.

Past Field To Finish Process

Field Data Collected

Data Imported Into AutoCAD using various

tools

Data QA\QC in AutoCAD and drawing stored in a

project folder

Problems

!  No company wide standard schema for data collected

!  No auto generation of drawings to speed up data collected in the field to client(s)

!  No centralized data store for current and archive retrieval

!  No data transformations for reoccurring processes.

Solution

Data Standards

!  Centralized data standards for data collected in the field

!  Schema standardization of spatial data store !  QA\QC process for all data collected !  Standard symbology for all data types !  Standard templates for all drawings generated

CSV(PNEZD) TO DWG

CSV(PNEZD) TO DWG

!  Iterates through each individual feature code and routes accordingly to the correct feature type.

!  Data QA\QC is automated and validation log files generated.

!  DWG output with standardized template which includes populated point attributes and object data

CSV(PNEZD) TO DWG OUTPUT

DWG To Spatial Data Store

!  Iterates through each individual feature extracting object data then stored in spatial data store according to defined schema

!  Data QA\QC is automated and validation log files generated

!  Data is centralized to be viewed or edited by internal users for final adjustments

Data Extraction Process

Data Extraction Process

Data Extraction Process

!  Users can extract data via a viewer or from FME Server

!  Users can specify output data format from multiple listings (currently DWG,SHP,SDF,KML).

!  Users can specify output data projection !  Users can select whether polylines or polygons

should be clipped to a certain Area Of Extent
