Hi there, I use the Local Government information model and recently started using ArcGIS Online (AGOL) to provide utility maps within my organization. It is important for me to be able to produce printable maps for my colleagues using our organization-specific layout. Typically, we do this in AutoCAD. In the past (before we started using GIS last month), we have just used Google Earth to snip basemap imagery and insert it into an AutoCAD DWG, along with our survey point data or linework. This was cumbersome to say the least. I am now using ArcGIS for AutoCAD plugin to bring in basemaps, but that still does not address the matter of our utility data from our geodatabase. Since we are now using ArcGIS, I want to be able to import content from our AGOL map or our file geodatabase into AutoCAD to create maps (along with basemap imagery) using the ArcGIS for AutoCAD Plugin. I have called Esri support but they say that it is currently not possible to import your own content from an AGOL service or file geodatabase. In all honesty, it is too cumbersome to create maps in ArcMap layout view. There is no functionality to import our own layout template, and my colleagues are much more accustomed to using AutoCAD to create maps (I am the only one who knows how to use GIS). I think this functionality would be very useful. If there was a way to import my GIS content into AutoCAD, retaining spatial information, attributes, symbology and all, that would be extremely helpful and would be a huge time saver for our organization (and others I am sure). I have tried to export my feature classes to a DWG using the Export to CAD tool in ArcMap, but it does not retain symbology or attribute information. Please add the ability to add ArcGIS online content or file geodatabase content to AutoCAD via the ArcGIS for AutoCAD plugin. Blaine Wruck, GIS Technician Port of Morrow in Boardman, OR

Hi there, We are an industrial port that just recently started using the Local Govt information model. So far I enjoy the template and all the features it provides by default. I am having one problem with it though. We have a fair amount of steam infrastructure that runs from a local natural gas powerplant, and I would like to bring this data in to the Local Govt model. But I cannot find a place for it in any of the default feature classes. I have looked in the data dictionary but cannot find anything that covers steam. I might be missing something, but can someone point me in the right direction? If there is indeed no place for steam infrastructure currently in the Local Govt info model, then I think it would be advantageous for Esri to include it in their next update to the Local Govt model. Does anyone agree? I am open to questions, comments or concerns. I am still a GIS newbie and am trying to get the ball rolling for our municipality! Always love to learn new things! -Blaine from Port of Morrow in Boardman, OR
