AutoCAD Map 3D 2009 
As the desktop based core of the Autodesk Geospatial platform, Map 3D supplies the best tools available to edit native geospatial data.
Data Access AutoCAD Map 3D interoperates with all major design and GIS software, so you can read, write, and convert data between standard formats, including DWG™, Arc/Info® coverages, SHP and E00 from ESRI®, MapInfo MIF/MID, MapInfo TAB, MicroStation® DGN (V7 and V8) and more. And with FDO you can directly access and edit data in GIS sources such as Oracle® Spatial, Microsoft® SQL Server™, and MySQL® databases; ESRI Geodatabase (read-only), ArcSDE®, SHP, and popular raster (read-only) formats.
AutoCAD Tools AutoCAD® Map 3D is built on the AutoCAD platform, which enables you to use the drafting and editing tools AutoCAD is known for the world over. With AutoCAD Map 3D you can directly edit against GIS data sources such as ESRI® SHP and ArcSDE® with standard AutoCAD commands (Pedit, Trim, Break, Join, Offset, Extend, Rotate, Move, and Cut/Copy/Paste). In addition, you can use COGO (coordinate geometry) tools for entering field survey data and drawing cleanup tools to automate the often time-consuming correction of common drafting and digitizing errors. In addition, AutoCAD Map 3D 2009 enables you to easily edit polygon objects with new split and merge functions, which are ideal for cadastral management.
GIS Tools With AutoCAD Map 3D you can answer questions about your data and make decisions. Utilize information in vector and tabular formats and link the data together. Perform data queries, create thematic maps, build topologies, create reports, perform buffer and tracing analysis, and much more. With integrated GIS tools, AutoCAD® Map 3D provides easy visualization and evaluation of design and asset management projects. By using AutoCAD Map 3D you can quickly visualize, evaluate, and validate spatial and nonspatial information to create better designs and improve infrastructure operation and maintenance decisions.
Data Management With AutoCAD Map 3D you can easily manage and convert information between differing data stores supporting design and as-built data flow to GIS and asset management solutions. Save valuable IT resources by enabling an administrator with little database expertise to define users and data storage parameters.
Publishing AutoCAD® Map 3D has a variety of tools that enable you to cost effectively distribute your designs, maps, and spatial data. For instance, you can create and design maps within AutoCAD Map 3D and quickly publish them to the Internet using Autodesk MapGuide® Enterprise software or distribute them as individual georeferenced DWF™ files, multisheet DWF Map Books, and paper plots.
