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.
Industry Toolkits
Use the AutoCAD Map 3D Industry Toolkits to enhance productivity and support data standardisation for planners, drafters, engineers, and designers working on water, wastewater, and electric system networks. Available to AutoCAD Map 3D subscription customers only.
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.
Extensibility via Open Source
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.
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.
Database Integration
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.
Surfaces & 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
Analysis Tools
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.
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.
Map Creation & 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.
Survey Functionality
Allows you to organise, manage, and effectively use data collected in the field within the AutoCAD Map 3D environment.
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 programs.
