Description
Many utilities today find themselves with legacy mapping systems that were installed 10 to 15 years ago or more. Those legacy systems have been beneficial in assisting utilities to organize their data and make improvements in their ability to visualize and understand their infrastructures. But strides in technology have helped the tools for managing the data in those legacy systems to become much more user friendly and “out of the box” than systems of the past. AutoCAD Map 3D Enterprise software now includes rich features that can model electric infrastructure with the power of AutoCAD software as the user interface. NV Energy has made the transition and uses AutoCAD Map 3D Enterprise software to map and manage its infrastructure assets more effectively. We will discover the value that you can gain from an enterprise geographic information system (GIS) and hear examples from other utility organizations in a roundtable setting.
Key Learnings
- Discover the extensive uses of the data captured in AutoCAD Utility Design GIS Solution
- Discover examples of the power of AutoCAD Map 3D—Electric Industry Model
- Learn from other roundtable attendees
- Learn about the level of integration of CAD in an AutoCAD Map 3D Enterprise GIS Solution

- JBJohn ButterlyJohn Butterly is a Project Specialist for Grant PUD in central Washington State. He has worked at Grant for just over 15 years, the last seven of which have been dedicated to the overhaul of the mapping system to an integrated Design and GIS system comprised of Map3D (Electric and Fiber), AIMS, AUD and Mobile Maps.
- BPBrad Vander PlasBrad is the CAD/GIS Supervisor for Golden Valley Electric Association (GVEA). He is responsible for maintaining the GIS and CAD for GVEA's very large service area and producing 4 different maps annually; 2 that are taken directly from Autodesk Map 3D Enterprise. He is also responsible for drawings of multiple Substations, Communication Sites, and Facilities. In addition, Brad has led the charge to update GVEA to Topobase 2010, and just recently won the hard faught battle to upgrade to Autodesk AIMS 2013.
- AMAndy MorsellThis will be Andy's 13th consecutive year presenting at Autodesk University! Andy is a consultant in the Americas Utilities and Telecom Consulting group of Global Services at Autodesk. He has more than 15 years of management, programming, and customization experience in the Autodesk® reseller, training, and developer communities; and he previously owned and operated Spatial Integrators, Inc., a private GIS and CAD consulting firm.
