Autodesk® AutoCAD Map 3D
AutoCAD® Map 3D mapping software provides access to data needed for infrastructure planning, design, and management activities. It helps professionals working on transportation, land development, water, and power projects to more easily aggregate cadastral, utility, topographic, environmental, image, LIDAR, and asset data; better visualize and evaluate existing conditions; improve decision making by performing corridor, network, and site analysis; and exchange information with government agencies, utilities, and contractors in both CAD and GIS data formats.

Features
AutoCAD® Map 3D mapping software is built on the latest release of AutoCAD® software and provides direct access to data needed for infrastructure planning, design, and management activities. AutoCAD Map 3D helps professionals working on transportation, land development, water, and power projects to more easily create, manage, and analyze design, GIS, and asset data.
Built on the AutoCAD 2011 Platform
AutoCAD Map 3D 2011 mapping software contains all the features and functionality of AutoCAD® 2011 CAD software, installed automatically—so you know you’re working with powerful documentation software.
Utilize CAD-Trained Staff
See how utilities can benefit from AutoCAD Map 3D: This video demonstrates how AutoCAD Map 3D enables you to utilize your CAD-trained staff. Built on the AutoCAD platform, AutoCAD Map 3D lets you use AutoCAD tools for precision creation and editing of maps, network layouts, schematics, and more.
New Point Cloud Tools
First released as an Autodesk® Subscription Advantage Pack for AutoCAD Map 3D 2010, the new point cloud tools allow for large sets of 3D laser scanning/LIDAR data sets (often with hundreds of millions of points) to be imported and visualized within AutoCAD Map 3D software. You can now also stylize point clouds by LAS classification, spatial extents, elevation, or intensity. Point clouds can be used to create DEM surfaces or new 3D features using standard AutoCAD® drafting tools.
New Grids & Graticules
Create and publish maps based on U.S. government military grid reference system (MGRS) standards. Digitizing using MGRS, support for grids and graticules in paper space, dynamic labeling, and styling are available through an easy-to-use task-based user interface.
New & Enhanced Data Support
With AutoCAD Map 3D 2011 you can work a wider variety of data. AutoCAD Map 3D 2011 includes support for ESRI® ArcSDE® 9.3.1 (32- and 64-bit), Oracle® 11gR2, Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 SP1, PostGIS 1.3.6, PostgreSQL 8.3.7-1, and SQLite 3.6.1
Better Performance
New in AutoCAD Map 3D 2011 is improved performance for FDO-accessed data—up to 4 times faster.
Enhanced Workflow Capabilities
Building on functionality introduced in AutoCAD Map 2010 and using Windows® Workflow™ Foundation, AutoCAD Map 3D 2011 makes it even easier to automate repetitive tasks. New Workflow tasks allow you to connect to any vector data source; change and save feature layer styles; and execute AutoCAD®, AutoCAD Map 3D, and AutoCAD® Raster Design commands.
Enhanced Tracker Capabilities
Track coordinates and create features in multiple coordinate systems. Display latitude/longitude coordinates in decimal degrees, or degrees, minutes, and seconds.
More Video Tutorials & Better User Assistance
With AutoCAD Map 3D 2011 it’s easier to find and understand AutoCAD Map 3D features, whether you’re an experienced user or completely new to the software. Videos and text instruction walk you through tasks such as importing data, changing symbology, annotating data, and using new features such as the point cloud tools. In addition, graphic tooltips provide quick overviews of functionality without having to search the help files.
