Background for Teachers

The file from AutoCAD to ArcView.ppf contains slides for an introductory lecture on placing AutoCAD files on geographic coordinates. It also demonstrates use of other geographic themes to be used with the transformed AutoCAD drawing. It may be viewed using PowerPoint. The other files can be used by the students as an assignment to replicate the transformation of an AutoCad drawing to ArcView. However, local information may be obtained from the internet will have more relevance for students.
