Discover 37 Essential AutoCAD Tips from Hagerman & Company

What is AutoCAD Map 3D?

AutoCAD Map 3D is one of seven specialized toolsets included with Autodesk AutoCAD. It's model-based GIS mapping software: it brings geographic information system (GIS) data into AutoCAD, so planners, engineers, and GIS teams can design and manage infrastructure using both CAD drawings and GIS data in one environment.

Map 3D is used for planning, design, and management of infrastructure such as utilities, water and wastewater networks, and municipal assets. Autodesk reports productivity gains of up to 60% on common mapping design tasks with the toolset.

AutoCAD Map 3D Features

Work With CAD and GIS Data Together

Connect to spatial data in many CAD and GIS formats and coordinate systems through Feature Data Objects (FDO), and edit geospatial data directly with standard AutoCAD commands.

Connect to Web Map Services (WMS and WFS)

Bring in background maps and live GIS features from web map services (WMS) and web feature services (WFS) through FDO connections, so your drawings sit on current, accurate base data.

Thematic Mapping

Build custom thematic maps that color and style features by their data, such as pipe size, zoning, or condition, using Map 3D's style editor and themes.

Esri ArcGIS and Enterprise Databases

Access GIS data stored in file databases or enterprise geodatabases such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server.

Topology and Network Analysis

Create topologies to run network calculations, for example finding which customers are downstream from a failed pump.

Enterprise Industry Models

Manage infrastructure systems such as utility networks with intelligent, industry-specific data models.

I have had so many classes over the years it's hard to recall all of them. Gary is unbelievably talented at speaking and ensuring all of us clearly understood and could replicate what was being taught. I'm sure you understand what an amazing employee you have on your hands. Thank you so much for this great training.
