MidCoast Council replaced an end of life CAD validation tool with Open Spatial's ACDC to validate as constructed drawings for water, sewer, and reuse assets. ACDC migrated legacy standards, added tailored rules, and enabled self validation through Desktop and Portal. Consultants now fix issues before submitting, data quality is higher, and GIS workflows continue without rework.

ACDC 6.0 is here, delivering full compatibility with AutoCAD 2025 and 2026 plus powerful new validation features. This release introduces pipe direction checks, expanded spatial integrity rules, and improved block validation accuracy. With enhanced configurability, stability fixes, and future-ready .NET support, ACDC 6.0 ensures seamless performance for mission-critical design and data validation workflows.

Accurate data isn’t optional—it’s foundational. This blog explores why infrastructure resilience depends on capturing validated, GIS-ready asset data at the time of construction. Learn how shifting data validation earlier in the project lifecycle helps eliminate rework, reduce risk, and support long-term decision-making.
