Product description

Autodesk Map® 3D 2006 software, built on the AutoCAD® 2006 platform, connects CAD and GIS by providing the most powerful creation and editing tools for GIS professionals as well as the geospatial features that mapping and CAD technicians and civil engineers require.

As engineering, GIS, surveying, and IT departments collaborate and share geographic and design data, organizations can become more competitive, provide better service, and respond to customers more rapidly. By integrating CAD and GIS, Autodesk Map® 3D software helps make entire organisations—not just single departments—more effective, efficient, and profitable.

The Premier Tool for CAD and GIS Integration
Autodesk Map 3D is the premier tool for integrating CAD and GIS technologies. Its strength is an open and flexible environment that enables mapping, CAD, and Civil Engineering professionals to work with virtually any data, regardless of format, including existing data that can represent significant past investment.

Work with Most Industry-Standard Data Formats
DWG and SHP formats are the most prevalent in the CAD and GIS worlds. With Autodesk Map 3D® 2006, you can create, manage, and share these, including OS MasterMap or any industry-standard format, with the precision of a CAD system. In fact, using Autodesk Map 3D 2006, you can edit SHP files more precisely than is possible using ESRI® ArcGIS® software. Autodesk Map® also provides powerful GIS capabilities such as topology for performing analysis, including buffers, overlays, dissolves and network analysis. Autodesk Map 3D bridges the gap between CAD and GIS.

Check out What’s New in 2006
Autodesk Map 3D 2006 has a host of new features, productivity enhancements, and workflow improvements. Use the newly improved Display Manager to create stylised versions of your data that highlight specific features or information quickly and easily. New MapBooks automates the production of map books for use in the office and field that can be published in a variety of ways, including Autodesk® DWF™ file formats, which can be viewed by anyone using the free* DWF viewer. Work more productively with new menus and toolbars that enable you to find and organise the functions and commands you use most frequently. For greater power and flexibility in working with complex data sets from multiple sources, take advantage of new and improved Feature Data Object (FDO) providers that let you tap into data objects, even while offline, including ArcSDE® data. Finally, use the new and expanded .NET API (application programming interface) to develop point solutions that automate and enhance your unique workflow and business processes.
