1 Introduction:
The purpose of this document is to provide step by step guidelines on how to add DEWA Marafeq Smart
Service in CAD Applications (Auto CAD & Microstation).
DEWA Marafeq Smart Service consist of two Web Services:
1. Web Feature Services (WFS)
2. Web Map Services (WMS)
using WFS Customers can select and view the services information where as WMS provides exact map
legend and can be used for printing and exporting into PDFs. In order to use above Web Services, Customers
require AutoCAD 2015 and above (AutoCAD Map or Civil 3D) or Microstation V8i (WMS Only). However,
Microstation V8i will not support WFS and expecting in next release.

Department
