Using some of the functions out of Map Guide we now have a method to connect with more
data without having to use the old map import/export commands. Even though we could
connect to Oracle, MySQL and ESRI SDE data in older versions the 2007 version made it a lot
easier. I like to say that the 2007 version takes us up to the current “modern” method of
creating maps and data. The next few versions released added new features to work with the
data connect/FDO data and brings up to the current version we are using today.
2.1. CAD Overview
Computer‐aided design is the use of computer technology to aid in the design of technical
projects and can be done in 2D and 3D. Autodesk’s AutoCAD is a Windows‐based computer
aided drafting program that has become the standard for producing technical drawings of
all types. It has the depth and range of features that lets users create nearly any type of
technical drawing.
3. OVERVIEW
AutoCAD Map 3D is the leading engineering GIS platform for creating and managing spatial data.
AutoCAD Map 3D bridges CAD and GIS by providing direct access to data, regardless of how it is
stored, and by enabling the use of AutoCAD tools for maintaining a broad variety of geospatial
information.
3.1. Combine map objects
The Autodesk Feature Data Objects (FDO) Data Access Technology helps you work seamlessly on a
variety of spatial and non spatial databases and file formats natively, without the need for
translation and risk of data loss. It allows us to add items such as:
AutoCAD drawing objects
Spatial features stored in a relational database, such as Microsoft® SQL Server,
Oracle® Spatial, and MySQL
Features stored in middleware, such as ESRI® ArcSDE
Raster images, including DEM surfaces that show elevation
Web‐based images from WFS and WMS
Attribute or point data stored in a spreadsheet or database that can be linked to
drawing objects.
Data from third‐party providers, leveraging the power of Open Source
Features stored in a spatial data file format, such as an ESRI® SHP or Autodesk SDF
file
Add data using variety of techniques:
Use data‐based queries to add objects from a drawing (find all objects on a
particular layer, all objects of a certain size, all objects with certain
properties).
Define areas to add (draw a selection window).
Add drawing layers.

3.2. Create and edit map objects
Use several methods to create and edit objects:
Use the full set of AutoCAD editing tools and commands to add or change map
objects from different object sources without converting the data.
Update original data stores with your changes automatically, or work offline and
update when you finish.
Edit attribute data values for objects. The changes are reflected in the original data
source.
3.3. Use maprelated data:
Uses attribute data as the basis of queries and display it as text in your map:
Imports attribute data.
Import objects with links to external data.
Link database entries to the data already associated with drawing objects.
Join an attribute data store to an existing feature class.
Create and manage attribute data within AutoCAD Map 3D using Data Table and
Data View.
Display attributes data on your map as text.
Examine and publish map metadata.
3.4. Format map objects
Change the way objects in the map appear, without changing the objects themselves:
Assign visual properties to object groups, or to objects that match certain criteria.
Use themes to vary visual properties based on attribute values.
Save display layer definitions (which include styling information and pointers to the
data source) for re‐use.
Use special formatting options for raster images to show hillshade, contours, and
more.
3.5. Manage map data
Manage the structure of data and move data from one format to another:
Use Schema Editor to create new schemas
Add and delete features and properties in existing schemas.
Use Data Connect to create a new data store from within AutoCAD Map 3D.
5
AutoCAD Map 3D
Use Bulk Copy to copy data from one data store to another.
Export DWG data to a variety of spatial data formats, including Oracle, SDF, and SHP.
Export your entire map to DWG format.
3.6. Perform analysis on maps
Use various methods to analyze data:
Sort, filter, and edit information about map items in a tabular format.
Locate specific coordinate points and measure the geodetic distance between
points.
Visually communicate relative values and scale with themed displays.
Temporarily join data from external data stores to features in your map and use that
data to theme the features.
Create contour maps to help you analyze 3D terrain.
Use raster‐based theming to analyze elevation, slope, and aspect, drape map data
over surfaces and view the data in 3D, and more.
Create buffer zones based on feature properties and select objects based on their
proximity to a buffer. Save the buffer as its own feature class, for future re‐use.
4. CHARACTERISTICS OF AUTOCAD MAP 3D
4.1. Access Granted
Map 3D provides access to data previously locked up in the GIS department. As the desktop
based core of the Autodesk Geospatial platform, Map 3D supplies the best tools available to
edit native geospatial data.
Why so many CAD software users are switching to AutoCAD Map 3D software—A better
AutoCAD software for planning and managing infrastructure.
4.2. Bridging the Gap
As the leading engineering platform for creating and managing spatial data, AutoCAD Map
3D software bridges computer‐aided design (CAD) and geographic information systems (GIS)
by providing direct access to data and enables the use of AutoCAD® tools to maintain a
broad variety of geospatial information. When combined with Autodesk MapGuide®
Enterprise software, Map 3D helps maximizes the value of design and geospatial
information with quick and easy publishing to the web or Internet.
4.3. Built on AutoCAD Software
Because Map 3D software is built on AutoCAD technology, organizations can take full
advantage of the extensive CAD‐trained workforce to manage geospatial data. And by using
familiar CAD tools, team members can make the most of their AutoCAD expertise.

4.8. Better Manage Data Access
Open‐source Feature Data Objects (FDO) technology can enable AutoCAD Map 3D 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 effectively
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.
4.9. More Accurate Designs and Data
Minimize time wasted on imprecise drawings and data. Map 3D 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 3D promotes data integrity throughout the design, build,
and manage lifecycle.
4.10. Powerful Mapping and Visualization Tools
Use Map 3D 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
3D 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.
