Product Description

AutoCAD® Map 3D software enables engineers, planners, mapping technicians, surveyors, and GIS professionals to directly access, edit, visualize, and analyze a broad variety of CAD and spatial data in a familiar AutoCAD® software environment.

AutoCAD Map 3D mapping software is one of the leading engineering platforms for creating and managing spatial data and bridges the gap between CAD and GIS. AutoCAD Map 3D makes it possible for engineering and GIS professionals to work with the same data, and helps you integrate geospatial functions in a single environment for more efficient workflows.

AutoCAD® Map 3D mapping software is built on the latest release of AutoCAD® software, and it's enhanced with a suite of geospatial tools and features. These core capabilities make it easy to share data across your organization. AutoCAD Map 3D functionality enables engineers, planners, mapping technicians, surveyors, and GIS personnel to access, edit, visualize, and analyze a variety of CAD and spatial data. Core features include:
- Easy-to-use ribbon interface
- Direct data access
- Map creation and stylization
- Analysis capabilities
- CAD editing on geospatial data
- COGO and survey functionality
- Publishing tools
- Extensibility via open source

Reasons to Buy
- Read and write data in a variety of standard formats including DWG™, DGN, ESRI SHP files and ArcSDE®, Oracle®, Microsoft® Access™ and SQL Server™, and MySQL® databases.
- Easily integrate field collected data in varying formats to accurately update drawings, maps, and databases to reflect the as-found locations in the field.
- Work with more than 4,000 real-world coordinate systems and tools such as Transform, Rubber-sheeting, and Track Coordinates to accurately georeference your AutoCAD design data.
- Use drawing cleanup tools in AutoCAD Map 3D, to automate the cleanup of common drafting and digitizing inaccuracies, reducing duplication and incorrect information.
- Quickly analyze and stylize design and GIS data using object properties and data attributes to highlight specific features such as service areas, zoning districts, land usage, pipe and cable installation dates and diameters, and much more.
- Easily publish drawings to the web using Autodesk MapGuide® Enterprise software, or distribute them as secure individual georeferenced DWF™ files, or multisheet DWF map books that can be viewed and marked up in Autodesk® Design Review software.
