Can you define flat coordinates or georeferenced information?
Reason for the question: The combination of geographic information system (GIS) with CAD information is becoming a common task in our daily work. The misconception that AutoCAD works in flat coordinates and not in geographical coordinates can be the difference between locating a project correctly or making a huge construction cost change. Do you know the difference between a database and a database manager system? Reason for the question: There’s no such thing as magic in the computer processing task. All input data and the generated information are stored somewhere in some format. Almost all of today’s engineering design software (e.g., Eagle Point and AutoDesk products) announces the virtues of using the industry standard databases. At the very least the end user should understand the basic concept of relational database. While the continuing advances in CAD systems are exciting and potentially beneficial, as long as the software evolution soars faster than the users knowledge evolut
