Seamlessly Work With Spatial Data
With powerful, affordable, and open geospatial solutions at
every stage of data creation, maintenance, and distribution—
AutoCAD Map 3D, Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise, and
Autodesk Topobase software—organizations can seamlessly
share spatial and nonspatial information with minimal effort.
The analytical buffer tool can be used to easily identify property owners who will be impacted by scheduled work on the
water line.
Streamlined Data Access
Open-source Feature Data Objects (FDO)
technology enables AutoCAD Map 3D software to
directly and natively access spatial data stored in files
and relational databases, as well as connect to web-
based services. As a result, engineering and other
departments, including GIS, can more effectively
access and share data, such as road, cadastral,
topographic, environmental, and image data. With
native access to spatial information in a familiar
CAD environment, team members can be confident
that the information they depend on is up-to-date,
supporting more-informed decision making.
More Accurate Designs and Data
Reduce time wasted on imprecise drawings and
data. Map 3D makes it easy to integrate field
collected data in varying formats to accurately
update drawings, maps, and databases to reflect
the as-found locations in the field. Combined with
powerful tools to automate the cleanup of drafting
and digitizing inaccuracies, Map 3D helps to
maintain data integrity throughout the design, build,
operate, and maintenance lifecycle.
Powerful Mapping and Visualization Tools
Use Map 3D to visualize and evaluate vector,
raster, and tabular data in a variety of formats. Use
draping functionality to combine topography data
with aerial photographs for stunning and revealing
3D renderings, and easily analyze or highlight
information such as service areas, zoning districts,
land usage, and pipe and cable installation dates
and diameters with easy-to-use cartographic tools.
The result is more professional designs, plans, maps,
proposals, and reports.
Sharing Accurate Map and Geospatial Data
Maximize the value of drawings, maps, and
geospatial data. 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 with free* Autodesk
Design Review software. And Map 3D makes it
easy to export georeferenced design data to other
formats for use by back-end GIS and mapping
systems.
