Software > Autodesk® MAP®
 Get powerful precision mapping with AutoCAD Map™ 2004 software, the leading mapping application built on the AutoCAD® 2004foundation. Autodesk Map helps you capture, create, maintain, and produce maps, integrate data from many different sources including Oracle® Spatial, and perform GIS analysis. Autodesk Map technology now includes coordinate geometry (COGO) to help create highly accurate maps, a classification feature that makes analysis more intuitive, an annotation tool that displays text information on the screen, plus enhanced import/export, drawing cleanup, and topology functionality. Autodesk Map software is a key part of the entire GIS workflow solution from Autodesk.
Features:
Based on AutoCAD
The foundation for Autodesk® Civil 3D™ is AutoCAD® 2004, so you can work in a familiar graphical environment with trusted drafting tools. The robust AutoCAD plotting process enables you to plot project documentation and plan sets with dependable accuracy and fidelity.
Points
Autodesk Civil 3D provides familiar and extended tools for creating point information from various data sources. Points groups are dynamic groupings with expanded control over their appearance in the graphics environment. Styles can control the appearance of points when they label a point, are dragged from their original location, and are a part of a point group. Autodesk Civil 3D contains several routines to migrate points to and from Autodesk® Land Desktop projects, including LandXML and direct reading of ASCII and Autodesk Land Desktop database files.
Surfaces
Autodesk Civil 3D creates surfaces from all the traditional data types. But now these surfaces are responsive and dynamically update to all your data selections and editing choices. The analysis tools for surfaces include developing contours, delineating watersheds, slope arrows, and elevation banding. When you have two Autodesk Civil 3D surfaces, you can calculate volumes between them.
Parcels
Autodesk Civil 3D offers many options for designing parcel layouts. In this flexible application, you interactively design parcels by converting AutoCAD polylines, creating alignments, or using new dynamic and graphical layout tools. Parcel styles in Autodesk Civil 3D help control the lot configuration by introducing design criteria and setting the labeling characteristics. All the labeling, individual lines, curves, and tables are dynamically linked to the editing of defining geometry and parcel boundaries.
Alignments
Dynamic and graphical alignment design layout tools create an interactive design environment. Autodesk Civil 3D creates an alignment where editing and what-if scenarios are part of the design solution process. You have control over the design criteria (including design speed and station equations) and the visibility and appearance of all alignment elements.
Profiles
Autodesk Civil 3D is aware that alignments and profiles are linked design elements. When you edit a roadway alignment, for example, Civil 3D automatically updates the profile of that alignment to show the new elevations found along the roadway centerline. The profile can show one or more surfaces. Creating a vertical alignment is as simple as graphically drawing the alignment or editing a tabular data sheet. You can graphically edit the vertical alignment to contain circular or parabolic vertical curves.
Grading
Autodedsk Civil 3D grading tools now interact with surfaces and other grading schemes. The grading process is more interactive and suited for site and subdivision design. You can easily convert a grading solution into a design surface ready for analysis and visualization.
Data Interoperability
Data is the most important asset of any design project. Autodesk Civil 3D has tools to migrate your design data from Autodesk Land Desktop and other design applications to your new design environment. These tools include directly importing Autodesk Land Desktop project data and importing and exporting data as LandXML files. Autodesk Civil 3D saves in DWG and DXF™ formats. Creating DWF™ output from Autodesk Civil 3D allows you to easily communicate your design data by email or over the Internet.
