Improving Infrastructure

AutoCAD®Map D software can provide direct

access to data needed for infrastructure planning,

design, and management activities. AutoCAD Map

D helps professionals working on transportation,

land development, water, and power projects to

more easily create, manage, and analyze design, GIS,

and asset data.

Find out why so many CAD software users are switching to

AutoCAD Map D software—A better AutoCAD software

for planning and managing infrastructure.

Access Granted

Built on AutoCAD Software

Because Map D software is built on AutoCAD®

technology, organizations can take full advantage of

the extensive CAD-trained workforce to create, edit,

and maintain geospatial data. And by using familiar,

precision CAD tools, team members can make the

most of their AutoCAD expertise.

More Informed Design

AutoCAD Map D helps organizations to create

better designs. Map D can provide access to data

needed for planning, design, and asset management

activities, making it easier for team members to

evaluate existing conditions and perform corridor,

network, and site analysis.

Better Manage Data Access

Open-source Feature Data Objects (FDO)

technology can enable AutoCAD Map D software

to directly access spatial data stored in ﬁles and

databases, as well as connect to web-based services.

As a result, engineering and other departments,

including GIS, can more eectively access and share

data, such as utility, road, cadastral, topographic,

environmental, and image data. With direct access

to spatial information in a familiar CAD environment,

team members can be conﬁdent that the information

they depend on is up-to-date, which supports more-

informed planning and decision making.

More Accurate Designs and Data

Minimize time wasted on imprecise drawings and

data. Map D makes it easier to integrate field-

collected data to more accurately update the system

of record, to better reflect as-found locations in

the field. Combined with powerful tools to help

the cleanup of drafting and digitizing inaccuracies,

Map D promotes data integrity throughout the

design, build, and manage lifecycle.

With powerful, open-source FDO technology, AutoCAD Map

D can provide access to data previously locked up in the GIS

department and provides state-of-the-art tools to edit native

geospatial data.

Eectively Utilize Spatial Data

Powerful Mapping and Visualization Tools

Use Map D to visualize and evaluate vector,

raster, and tabular data in a variety of formats.

Better understand the real world by using point

cloud functionality to view, style, and create D

features and surfaces from LiDAR data; and more

easily analyze or highlight information such as

service areas, zoning districts, land usage, and

pipe and cable installation dates with easy-to-use

cartographic tools. The result is more professional

designs, plans, maps, proposals, and reports.

More Accurate Map and Geospatial Data Sharing

Maximize the value of drawings, maps, and

geospatial data by publishing them to the web

using Autodesk MapGuide®Enterprise software,

or distributing them as more secure, DWF™ ﬁles

that can be viewed and marked up with free*

Autodesk®Design Review software. And Map

D makes it easier to exchange information with

stakeholders in both CAD and GIS data formats.

Use the Point Clouds feature to import and visualize large sets of point cloud data, such as 3D laser scanning/LiDAR data

sets with millions of points.

Using AutoCAD Map D, we exploited our AutoCAD

skills to tap quickly into ESRI maps, utility data,

property data, and more without having to use ESRI

software. AutoCAD Map D gave us the GIS tools

we needed, but allowed us to use our AutoCAD

expertise, reducing training time and expenses.
