AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 
Bridge the gap between CAD and GIS.
AutoCAD® Map 3D software is a leading engineering platform for creating and managing spatial data. Using open-source Feature Data Object (FDO) technology, AutoCAD Map 3D provides direct access to the leading data formats used in design and GIS and enables the use of AutoCAD® software tools for maintaining a broad variety of spatial information. Bridging the gap between CAD and GIS, AutoCAD Map 3D makes it possible for engineering and GIS professionals to work with the same data and enables design processes to integrate geospatial functions in a single environment for more efficient workflows. The results are better designs, increased productivity, and better data quality.
New Feature Highlights
AutoCAD 2010 software
AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 software contains all the features and functionality of AutoCAD 2010, installed automatically—so you know you are working with proven, reliable, industry-leading software. To find out more about AutoCAD 2010 features. Easy-to-Use Ribbon Interface
The new ribbon-style user interface (UI) can help increase overall productivity and reduce the number of steps to reach a command. This interface presents command options in a concise visual format, so you can quickly choose the commands you need. The ribbon is customizable and expandable, so it can adjust to fit each user. Increased Options for Importing Survey Data
AutoCAD Map 3D survey functionality focuses on asset data collection and mapping. This functionality helps you organize, manage, and integrate your field-collected data within the AutoCAD Map 3D environment. The functionality includes direct import of ASCII point and LandXML data, survey datastore and schema, point groups, and creation of FDO features from survey features. New Options for Coordinate Geometry
Additional coordinate geometry (COGO) tools are available for accurately locating and creating features captured via traditional survey methods. In addition to existing Bearing/Distance, Azimuth/Distance, Angle/Distance, and Deflection/Distance options, new methods include Orthogonal/Offset, Bearing/Bearing, Distance/Distance, and Inverse Report. Enhanced Data Analysis Capabilities
Seven new overlay operations enhance the analytical capabilities of AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 geospatial software. Compare or combine FDO-connected data stores for faster, better decision making. Enhancements to the Expression Builder enable you to construct composite queries you can apply across multiple FDO-accessed data sources. New Workflow Framework
Utilizing Windows® Workflow™ Foundation, AutoCAD Map 3D makes it easy to automate repetitive tasks using a new and powerful workflow framework and user interface. This framework makes it easy to build, save, and share simple and complex workflows using a visual editor. Workflows can include logic and initiate calls to other workflows—all with a single mouse click—helping improve efficiency and consistency in results. More Data Creation and Editing Options
Continued enhancements provide easier data creation and editing of features accessed via FDO. Improvements to object snap functionality include the addition of intersection, extension, apparent intersection, and parallel object snaps. In addition, multipart, multiring, and geospatial features with “m” or “z” values can be easily manipulated. With the Properties Palette, it's easy to edit feature attributes by changing data values for multiple features in a single operation. Better Data Exchanges
Improved Bulk Copy functionality enables you to use Display Manager layers and include calculated and joined data fields when copying data to new data stores. Bulk Copy can also use the map coordinate system with reprojected data. In addition, AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 includes new LandXML import and export functionality that makes it easy to exchange data with AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software and other applications that support LandXML format. Additional FDO Providers
AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 includes support for Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Spatial, giving you another option for your spatial data storage needs. Additional Autodesk FDO providers, including the Autodesk FDO Provider for GE Smallworld, are available to Autodesk® Subscription members. Better Raster reprojections
Enhancements to reprojection alogrithims provide more accurate reprojections of raster imagery accessed through FDO technology. More Install Options with 64-bit Support
Support for 64-bit operating systems provides more flexibility in operating system configurations and access to larger addressable memory space.
