AutoCAD® Map 3D 2011

AutoCAD® Map 3D infrastructure planning software:
- Geographic coordinate systems—Use real-world coordinate systems to more accurately georeference design data.
- Direct data access—Directly access spatial data from a variety of data sources, including ESRI® SHP files, Oracle®, and ESRI® ArcSDE® managed databases.
- Data exchange—Read, write, and convert data in a variety of CAD and GIS formats.
- CAD editing on geospatial data—Edit spatial data with standard AutoCAD commands.
- Point clouds—Import and visualize large sets of 3D laser scanning/LIDAR data sets.
- Analysis tools—Make decisions about your data by creating thematic maps and performing buffer, tracing, and overlay analysis.
Autodesk MapGuide®
Extend the value of your maps, designs, and data with Autodesk MapGuide® 6.5 software. Integrate multiple data sources or servers, build custom applications, and query, analyze, and distribute more business-critical information for faster, more-informed decision making.
Autodesk® Topobase™ 2010
Autodesk® Topobase™ infrastructure model management software provides accurate information about the location and status of your assets throughout your organization. Built on AutoCAD® Map 3D and Autodesk MapGuide® software, Topobase is an open solution with industry-specific workflows that helps you see the big picture, reduce backlogs, and improve operational efficiency.
AutoCAD® Raster Design 2010
Use AutoCAD® Raster Design software with AutoCAD® software, and applications based on AutoCAD to unlock and extend the value of existing design information. Make the most of scanned engineering drawings and plans with raster-to-vector, raster editing, and raster data preparation capabilities. Increase productivity; improve decision making and presentations; and enhance, preserve, and maintain valuable raster assets.
Autodesk® Utility Design software helps utilities plan, design, and analyze distribution networks more accurately in a single environment. Streamline design processes with rules-based automation. Integrate design sketches, perform engineering calculations, and link to material ordering systems. With incorporated design and construction standards, improve data accuracy and consistency, and make more informed choices about material, equipment, and facility sizing to create right-sized, least-cost engineered facilities that can help to increase network efficiency and reliability.
- Utility design layout tools—Simplified interface with AutoCAD® working environment that enables utility designers to quickly generate construction drawings for use in the field.
- Engineering calculations and reports—Size facilities using tools for automatic guying, voltage drop calculations, and clearance checking.
- Material ordering—Automatically create electric material lists by location; use your organization’s materials database directly in the design phase.
- Detailed cost estimates—Generate a complete report of material costs associated with the job, including labor costs.
- Integrate with work management systems—Directly generate work orders related to the design.
