TOPOGRAPHICAL DATA ACCESS AND EDITING
Access—direct access from variety of spatial data sources
Access— access earthmine® plug-in and Pictometry® plug-in to bring
in existing conditions data
Edit—join attribute and GIS data and edit Microsoft® Excel® data
Edit—rich set of survey tools helps you import, compute, manage,
and utilize field measurement acquired from GPS and terrestrial
sources
Edit —create large-scale surface models from points, and contour
data and create contours from surfaces
GIS ANALYSIS AND PLANNING
Coordinate system —commercial basemap and geolocation tools
enable you to bring in aerial data, roads, and hybrid aerial maps
Coordinate systems—search for and create coordinate systems using
custom grid files
Coordinate systems—use modern algorithms to transform coordinate
systems
Symbols —import common public-domain symbols into a mapping
environment and edit symbols to help meet specific business
requirements
Tooltips—roll over a feature to display properties such as tooltips and
links
PUBLISHING AND INTEROPERABILITY/DATA EXCHANGE
Publishing—extract data for use in the design process or in the field.
Edit offline, then sync data
Publishing—distribute geospatial data, maps, and designs on the web
providing view and update capabilities from AutoCAD Map 3D to
Autodesk® Infrastructure Map Server 2013 and later releases and
AutoCAD® WS 2013 software
Publishing—public review documentation (maps and exhibits) made
easier with dynamic legends, north arrows, and scale bars with
viewports within the exhibit documentation
Publishing—create and publish maps based on U.S. National Grid
(USNG) standards, and latitude and longitude grid
Interoperability/data exchange—share mapping and geospatial data
with Autodesk® AutoCAD® Civil 3D® 2013 and later releases and
Autodesk® AutoCAD® Utility Design 2014software to support civil and
distribution design projects
Interoperability/data exchange—share mapping and geospatial data
with Autodesk® Infraworks 2013 and later releases to support 3D
modeling and visualization of existing conditions data
Interoperability/data exchange—store drawings, project files, and
map drawing files in an easy-to-access online workspace using
Autodesk® 360 cloud-based service option available in AutoCAD Map
