Autodesk AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 [32 & 64 Bit]

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.

Features:

Built on the New AutoCAD 2010 Platform - AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 software is built on the latest release of AutoCAD software, and is enhanced with a suite of geospatial tools. It contains all the features and functionality of AutoCAD 2010, which is automatically installed with AutoCAD Map 3D 2010—so you know you’re working with proven, reliable, industry-leading software.

Geographic Coordinate Systems - Work with more than 4,000 real-world coordinate systems, or define your own custom coordinate system. Perform coordinate transformations and use tools such as Transform, Rubbersheeting, and Track Coordinates to accurately georeference your AutoCAD design data.

Direct Data Access - Using open-source Feature Data Object (FDO) technology, AutoCAD Map 3D provides direct access to spatial data from a variety of data sources, including ESRI SHP files and Oracle®, Microsoft® SQL Server™, MySQL®, and ESRI® ArcSDE® managed databases. Access aerial and satellite imagery, including Mr.SID, ECW, and geo-referenced TIFF files, and connect to web mapping services (WMS) and web feature services (WFS) to take advantage of publicly available data. Direct access means no data translations, which helps to ensure integrity.

Data Exchange - AutoCAD Map 3D interoperates with all major design and GIS software, so you can read, write, and convert data between standard formats, including: DWG™; Arc/Info® coverages; SHP and E00 from ESRI; MapInfo MIF/MID™; MapInfo TAB; MicroStation® DGN (V7 and V8); Generalised Markup Language (GML 3.1.1); Ordnance Survey MasterMap (DNF) (GML2, read-only); Vector Product Format (VPF, read-only); ASCII; LandXML SDF; Spatial Data Transfer Standard (SDTS, read-only); After working with the data, you can maintain it in a DWG file, convert it to an external file, or move it into a spatial database.

Automatic Data Cleanup - Automate the correction of common drafting and digitising errors using Drawing Cleanup tools. Delete duplicates, correct undershoots and dangling objects, and more. Clean and accurate data makes integration into your GIS or mapping system easier.

DWG Query - Using DWG query functionality, multiple users can access, view, search through, and edit the same sets of DWG files or base maps simultaneously. DWG query provides quick viewing of drawing information, including the number and type of objects, symbol tables, object data tables, and object classes. Alter-properties functions can be used to change CAD object properties, such as layer, colour, linetype, lineweight, and more. This efficient and reliable way to work collaboratively with DWG-based information reduces the need for version control and can minimise time wasted waiting for data.

CAD Editing on Geospatial Data - Data accessed through FDO can be directly edited with standard AutoCAD commands such as Pedit, Trim, Break, Join, Offset, Extend, Rotate, Move, and Cut/Copy/Paste. Easily edit polygon objects with split and merge functions, and use the Expression Builder to populate feature attributes using data calculations and intrinsic object properties.

Classification - Organise objects in your drawing by the real-world features that they represent, such as roads, parcels, cables, or water pipes. When you create an object using object classification, it automatically takes properties and values from its object class, maintaining consistency and establishing standards in your drawing. By applying a classification to an existing or new object, you can be assured that it meets your standards for both data and display. Visit the AutoCAD Map 3D Extensions page to learn about free* industry-specific toolkits that can help streamline the classification process.

Geometry (COGO) - Use coordinate geometry to accurately locate and create features captured via traditional survey methods. Streamline the process of drawing plats and existing conditions by allowing for the input of geometry in terms of Bearing/Distance, Azimuth/Distance, Angle/Distance, Deflection/Distance, Orthogonal/Offset, Bearing/Bearing, Distance/Distance, and Inverse Report.

Survey Functionality - AutoCAD Map 3D survey functionality focuses on asset data collection and mapping. This feature allows you to organise, manage, and effectively use data collected in the field within the AutoCAD Map 3D environment. The functionality includes: ASCII point and LandXML data import; Survey datastore and schema; Point groups; Creation of FDO features from survey features

Map Creation and Stylisation - Cartography tools enable you to create maps without additional GIS-specific software. Easily create stylised maps that highlight specific features or information, such as service areas, zoning districts, land usage, pipe and cable installation dates and diameters, and more. Create legends and call out details with attribute-driven labels that provide text along a curve and segment stitching functionality. Use transparency to blend data and reuse styles in any project, saving time and streamlining map production. Move beyond CAD maps to advanced cartography and presentations.

Analysis Tools - Analysis tools enable you to answer questions and make decisions about your data. Link information in vector and tabular formats together, perform data queries, create thematic maps, build topologies, create reports, and perform buffer, tracing and overlay analysis, and more. With integrated geospatial tools, AutoCAD Map 3D provides easy visualisation and evaluation of design and geospatial information.

Surfaces and 3D Visualisation - Visualise and analyse large-scale topographic information, including digital elevation models (DEM) and ESRI GRID files, for elevation, slope, and aspect. Create contours and perform sunlight studies with hillshading. Draping functionality combines topography data with aerial photographs and vector data for stunning, revealing 3D renderings that can be published to 3D DWF™ files viewable in free* Autodesk® Design Review software.

Database Integration - AutoCAD Map 3D mapping software provides open, standards-based database support. Easily join CAD objects to commonly used databases such as Microsoft® Access, and store CAD and GIS data in popular relational database management systems, including Oracle®, Microsoft® SQL Server™, and MySQL® without expensive middleware, or connect to ESRI ArcSDE managed databases.

Data Management Tools - Effectively manage spatial data in almost any format. Intuitive tools enable you to quickly and easily create users, define schemas (databases and files), or load data models via XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) from industry-standard modelling programmes. Move and convert data that resides in one data store to another (for example, SDF/SHP to Oracle). AutoCAD Map 3D acts as a hub for managing large amounts of spatial data, allowing you to unlock legacy spatial information and streamline your workflow.

Spatial Data File (SDF) - The spatial data file (SDF) enables you to organise and manage your data as real-world features. This easy-to-manage file-based data repository is a smart choice when an enterprise database doesn’t make sense. SDF supports rich geometry, multiple tables, and spatial indexing, and it provides a solid foundation for a smooth transition to a database such as Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server in the future, if the need arises.

Workflows - Using the Windows® Workflow Foundation (WF), AutoCAD Map 3D makes it easy to automate repetitive tasks with a new and powerful workflow framework and user interface. With this framework, you can build, save, and share simple and complex workflows with a visual editor. Workflows can include logic and initiate calls to other workflows—all with a single mouse click, improving efficiency and consistency in results.

Create and Edit Metadata - Maintain your investment in spatial data with tools to create and edit metadata. These tools help you call out the who, what, when, where, why, and how of your spatial information and publish it in standard formats, including ISO 19115 and 19139 and FGDC. With automatic metadata creation, it’s easy for you to share your data with colleagues, contractors, and regulatory agencies.

Map Books - Quickly and easily produce accurate, up-to-date tiled map books of your service area, and provide field crews with necessary information for the project.

Publishing Tools - Distribute your geospatial data, maps, and designs in ways that meet your organisation’s needs. Create drawings, designs, and maps and publish them to the Internet quickly using Autodesk MapGuide® Enterprise software. Or distribute them as individual geo-referenced DWF files, multisheet DWF Map Books, or paper plots. Help customers and teams throughout your organisation have the latest information.

Extensibility via Open Source - With the power of FDO data access technology on the desktop, AutoCAD Map 3D makes it easy for you to take advantage of the open-source world by extending data access with third-party and open-source FDO providers for data stores not currently supported by Autodesk.  

Robust APIs - AutoCAD Map 3D comes with robust .NET application programming interfaces (APIs) that organisations can use to create custom tools and automate common procedures. Additionally, AutoCAD Map 3D and Autodesk MapGuide® Enterprise software share a unified geospatial API, as well as unified FDO technology that can be used to build custom applications that share business logic and common code.
