AutoCAD Map 3D helps professionals working on transportation, land development, water, and power projects to more easily create, manage, and analyze design, GIS, and asset data. Built on AutoCAD Software Because Map 3D software is built on AutoCAD® technology, organizations can take full advantage of the extensive CAD-trained workforce to create, edit, and maintain geospatial data. [. . . ] And Map 3D makes it easier to exchange information with stakeholders in both CAD and GIS data formats. Use the Point Clouds feature to import and visualize large sets of point cloud data, such as 3D laser scanning/LiDAR data sets with millions of points. Better Manage Data Access Open-source Feature Data Objects (FDO) technology can enable AutoCAD Map 3D software to directly access spatial data stored in files and 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 utility, road, cadastral, topographic, environmental, and image data. With direct access to spatial information in a familiar CAD environment, team members can be confident that the information they depend on is up-to-date, which supports moreinformed planning and decision making. More Accurate Designs and Data Minimize time wasted on imprecise drawings and data. Map 3D makes it easier to integrate fieldcollected data to more accurately update the system of record, to better reflect as-found locations in the field. Combined with powerful tools to help the cleanup of drafting and digitizing inaccuracies, Map 3D promotes data integrity throughout the design, build, and manage lifecycle. Using AutoCAD Map 3D, we exploited our AutoCAD skills to tap quickly into ESRI maps, utility data, property data, and more without having to use ESRI software. AutoCAD Map 3D gave us the GIS tools we needed, but allowed us to use our AutoCAD expertise, reducing training time and expenses. --Scott Stover Manager, Corridor Approvals and Records York Region, Ontario, Canada Learn More or Purchase Access specialists worldwide who can provide product expertise, a deep understanding of your industry, and value that extends beyond your software purchase.
