CAD File Guidelines for Indoor Mapping

[Siham TAHA]

Workplace Service Delivery's May 2022 Store release brings built-in Indoor Mapping capabilities through the new Indoor Mapping Application. Creating indoor maps can be done in various ways. It can be done manually by importing images (PNGs) but one of the best ways to automate most of the map creation process is by using our CAD file Import Module available in Map Studio.

Map Studio is a new tool available through the Indoor Mapping application and that allows anyone with the right Workplace Service Delivery role to create, edit and maintain their own Indoor Maps. To do so and achieve the best level of automation while having great looking maps, CAD files must meet certain requirements.

Attached are the guidelines intended for Architects, Civil Engineers or anyone with the skills to reformat CAD files that will guide you through requirements for your file layers, lines, text and export. You will also find a CAD file example that complies with these requirements.
