Adding an ArcGis Rest Service as a Data Source

[sduffin]

All,

The county I work in has an online map that contains valuable GIS data that I would like to incorporate into Infraworks (specifically 2016 aerial imagery).  I contacted the GIS administrator for the County and was told that it is an ArcGIS Rest Server with the following URL:

http://arcgis10.washco.utah.gov/arcgis/rest/services/

How do I incorporate this data source into Infraworks?

Alternatively they have given me a link to download a plugin for Civil 3D at the following link:

http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgis-for-autocad

I would love to see if this is an option!

Thanks in advance for the help and ideas!

Hi @sduffin

My name is Pat and I am with Autodesk Technical Support.  So the easiest way to get this into Infraworks is to convert it to an SHP file.  ESRI has a few methods for converting to SHP.  Alternatively, bringing it into Civil is also a good work flow, as you could then also create an SHP or use the DWG it is in.  Couple ways for you.

Hello friend, there is no direct connection but in this article comes step by step what you must realize, as soon as I create a video I share it

Thanks for the response please do send a link to your video when you get it completed!

I am back to this question since my County is providing this same link again to access its DEM and aerial data.  How do I go about importing this into Civil 3D (Map I presume) so that I can export it as a shape file or raster format?  Thanks in advance for your help!

Now that we have the ArcGIS connector is there a new way to connect to a data source such as the following links?  I am trying to access parcel data in Riverside County CA.

or

Thanks for your insight on this!

I too am wondering if it'd be possible to do a direct link.  Using a SHP import is not optimal due to the need to update the data manually with each change from the county.  A streamed-in REST endpoint would show the county's updates as soon as they do them.

@cbalzer If I understand right, thats exactly what "Connector for ArcGIS" does. Can you check that out? Here is a youtube link to get you started.
