Autodesk AutoCAD Map 3D 2011

AutoCAD Map 3D 2011 software provides direct access to data needed for infrastructure, planning, design, and management activities. AutoCAD Map 3D helps engineers, planners, surveyors, and GIS professionals working on transportation, land development, water, and power projects to create better designs, enhance productivity, and improve data quality.

AutoCAD Map 3D enables users to more easily aggregate cadastral, utility, topographic, environmental, image, LiDAR, and asset data; better visualize and evaluate existing conditions; improve decision making by performing corridor, network, and site analysis; and exchange information with government agencies, utilities, and contractors in both CAD and GIS data formats.

Features:

• New point cloud tools enable large sets of 3D laser scanning/LiDAR data sets (often with hundreds of millions, and potentially billions, of points) to be imported and visualized within AutoCAD Map 3D software.
• Feature Data Objects (FDO) data access technology in AutoCAD Map 3D 2011 enable you to work with an even wider variety of data. AutoCAD Map 3D 2011 includes read and write support for ESRI ArcSDE 9.3.1 (32 and 64-bit), Oracle 11gR2, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SP1, PostGIS 1.3.6 (on PostgreSQL 8.3.7-1), and SQLite 3.6.14.
• Workflow tasks enable you to connect to any vector data source
• Change and save feature layer styles, and run analysis such as buffering or spatial overlays
• Work within very large and/or multiple drawings
• Provide multiple users access to the same drawing concurrently
• Import the most up-to-date and accurate mapping data from Ordnance Survey
• Create thematic maps
• Create and analyse terrain models and contours
• Work directly in a database environment based on the SDF file format.
• Combine geo-referenced raster imagery with drawings
• "Clean up" third party and scanned drawings
• Support for 4,000 global projections and co-ordinate systems
• Collate information with advanced drawing and data queries
• Drawing clean-up tools to ensure drawing integrity
• Import the most up-to-date and accurate mapping data from Ordnance Survey
• Classify object characteristics and behaviours
• Add object data with flexible and user-definable attributes
• Link external databases to your drawing objects
• Specify what information is to be displayed at set scales
• Access web based data using WMS / WFS
• Automatically export .dwg data to SDF and Oracle Spatial
• Combine geo-referenced raster imagery with drawings
• Visualize and analyze large-scale topographic information—digital elevation models (DEM) and ESRI GRID files
• Use GIS spatial analysis tools such as network tracing, buffer and polygon tracing overlay
• Create and edit Metadata to ISO standards
• Extensibility with OpenSource providers and robust .NET API
• Import survey data using direct import of ASCII point and LandXML data, Survey data store and schema, Point groups and FDO features from survey features.
• Additional coordinate geometry (COGO) tools including Orthogonal/Offset, Bearing/Bearing, Distance/Distance, and Inverse Report.
• Track or input coordinates in one spatial reference system, and keep track of them in other systems as well with the multi-coordinate system tracker.
• Seven new overlay operations enhance the analytical capabilities including; Intersect, Union, Erase, Identity, Clip, Paste and Symmetric difference. Compare or combine FDO-connected (Feature Data Objects) data stores for faster, more accurate decision-making.
• Workflow Framework makes it easy to automate repetitive tasks using a new and powerful workflow framework and user interface.
• Data Creation and Editing Options including improvements to object snap functionality such as the addition of intersection, extension, apparent intersection, and parallel object snaps.
