AutoCAD® Map 3D 2010
AutoCAD
Map 3D 2010 software is an engineering platform for creating and
managing spatial data. Using open-source Feature Data Object (FDO)
technology, AutoCAD Map 3D provides direct access to the leading data
formats used in design and GIS, and enables the use of AutoCAD software
tools for maintaining a broad variety of spatial information. Bridging
the gap between CAD and GIS, AutoCAD Map 3D makes it possible for
engineering and GIS professionals to work with the same data and allows
design processes to integrate geospatial functions in a single
environment for more efficient workflows. The results are better
designs, increased productivity, and better data quality.
What’s New
Improved Functionality
-
AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 software contains all the features and
functionality of AutoCAD 2010, which is automatically installed with
AutoCAD Map 3D 2010, helping organizations lower the cost of
operation by taking full advantage of existing in-house Autodesk
design software expertise and helping new workers become productive
more quickly with shorter learning time.
-
The new ribbon-style user interface is customizable to each user,
which helps to boost overall productivity by reducing steps to reach
a command.
-
Support for 64-bit operating systems provides more flexibility in
operating system configurations and access to larger addressable
memory space.
-
AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 enables users to automate repetitive tasks using
Windows Workflow Foundation. This framework makes it easy to build,
save and share simple and complex workflows using a visual editor,
helping to improve efficiency and consistency in results.
-
Enhancements to reprojection algorithms provide more accurate
reprojections of raster imagery accessed through FDO Data Access
Technology.
Better Data
-
AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 offers more data creation and editing options;
improvements to object snap functionality include the addition of
intersection, extension, apparent intersection, and parallel object
snaps. With the Properties Palette, it's easy to edit feature
attributes by changing data values for multiple features in a single
operation.
-
AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 includes support for new FDO data providers,
including Microsoft® SQL Server® Spatial. Additional Autodesk FDO
providers, including the Autodesk FDO Provider for GE Smallworld,
are available to Autodesk® Subscription members.
-
AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 software’s increased survey functionality
focuses on asset data collection and mapping. This functionality
helps organize, manage, and integrate field-collected data within
the AutoCAD Map 3D environment.
-
Additional coordinate geometry (COGO) tools are available for
accurately locating and creating features captured with traditional
survey methods.
-
Seven new overlay operations enhance the analytical capabilities of
AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 geospatial software. New capabilities include
intersect, union, erase, identity, clip, paste and symmetric
difference analysis.
-
New analysis features enable users to combine FDO-connected data
stores for faster, more accurate decision making. Enhancements to
the Expression Builder enable construction of composite queries that
apply across multiple FDO-accessed data sources.
