Course Description
This 3‐day intermediate level course is intended to show AutoCAD Map 3D users the features for Geospatial functions of the AutoCAD Map 3D software. This includes connecting to multiple data (feature) sources, to create, manage, and analyze mapping data. Topics considered fundamental to using AutoCAD Map 3D software are covered in depth. Advanced features are covered and approached as an introduction. Advanced features can be followed up with more comprehensive training.

Course Outline

• Establishing a Geospatial Environment
• Connecting to Multiple Data Sources
• Stylizing Features
• Editing Features
• Moving Data between DWG Objects and FDO (Feature Data Object)
• Managing Features
• Workflows

Course Objectives
After completing this course, you will be able to:

• Establish your Geospatial Environment
• Connect to Multiple Data sources (SHP, SDF, ArcSDE, ODBC sources)
• Edit Geospatial Features
• Manage Geospatial Features
• Use Workflows to solve Geospatial Problems

Course Prerequisites
Attendees must have a strong working knowledge of the Core AutoCAD application and the Windows XP OS.  Attendees must also have some knowledge of Database and GIS concepts. Some working knowledge of the core AutoCAD Map 3D software would be helpful.
