2 © 2005 Autodesk 2 Top reasons to crossgrade to Autodesk Map 3D Autodesk Map ® 3D 2006 CAD, meet GIS Power. Precision.  Autodesk Map ® 3D 2006 delivers powerful creation and editing tools for GIS professionals, as well as geospatial features required by CAD and mapping technicians.  Now you can create, manage, and share spatial data with power and precision. “Autodesk Map 3D is the glue that links GIS, CAD, and survey together. Autodesk Map is our main GIS editing environment. It also has important GIS functionality to perform polygon overlay, table editing, and more all within a central database.” — Jonathan Pickus Manager, AM/FM/GIS Division Las Vegas Valley Water District

3 © 2005 Autodesk 3 Top reasons to crossgrade to Autodesk Map 3D Autodesk Map ® 3D 2006 advantages for AutoCAD users Autodesk® Map 3D® 2006, based on AutoCAD, includes all AutoCAD 2006 functionality  You work in a familiar environment with drafting tools you already know  Use all AutoCAD 2006 commands in Map 3D 2006  With Map 3D you can exploit your know-how and expertise with AutoCAD to gain productivity  You can get your job done faster with better results Autodesk Map 3D is optimized for the specific needs of engineers and drafters in the mapping sector

4 © 2005 Autodesk 4 Top reasons to crossgrade to Autodesk Map 3D When should AutoCAD users work with Map 3D ® ? Do you …... work with several, large files at the same time? … use ESRI ®, Microstation ® or MapInfo ® files? … have a GIS department that uses ESRI ArcSDE? … ever receive files that need cleaning up? … want to gain up to 25% efficiency while creating data? … ever want to present a thematic map?

5 © 2005 Autodesk 5 Top reasons to crossgrade to Autodesk Map 3D Do you work with several, large files at the same time ? Using Autodesk Map 3D, you can access multiple maps and data sets at one time  Many users can edit the same sets of files or base maps simultaneously, without conflicts With a Map 3D project you can  link the set of drawings you want to use  save your queries  define global coordinate system settings  link to external databases Benefits  Don’t copy original drawings into one monster-copy  Avoid data duplication  Functionality not included in AutoCAD

6 © 2005 Autodesk 6 Top reasons to crossgrade to Autodesk Map 3D Do you use ESRI, Microstation or MapInfo files? The Import-Export Engine in Autodesk Map 3D 2006 provides a powerful way to exchange data with colleagues and customers because it is interoperable with all major GIS software Read, write, and transform industry-standard formats  ESRI ® ArcView ® SHP (Shape File), ESRI ArcInfo TM coverages, ESRI E00  MapInfo ® MIF/MIDTM, MapInfo TAB  MicroStation ® DGNTM  OGC GML2  Ordnance Survey ® MasterMap ® Benefits  Read/Write your colleagues data  Not only graphics, but also attributes  Functionality not included in AutoCAD

7 © 2005 Autodesk 7 Top reasons to crossgrade to Autodesk Map 3D Do you have a GIS department that uses ESRI ArcSDE ? Do you...  …receive data from the GIS department in ArcView ® SHP (Shape) files ?  …need to work on their database directly without conversion? The new FDO technology in Autodesk Map 3D 2006  let you work on central databases like ArcSDE directly  respecting all their classes and data integrity  give you full editing power Benefits  You have direct access to the most up-to-date central data  You can work with the editing power you’ve been trained

8 © 2005 Autodesk 8 Top reasons to crossgrade to Autodesk Map 3D Do you ever receive files that need cleaning up ? Autodesk Map 3D 2006 can automatically correct typical errors encountered when dealing with spatial data Using Map 3D’s cleanup tools  Delete Duplicates  Break Crossing Objects (Overshoots)  Extend Undershoots  Simplify Objects  and many more… Benefits  Gain time when receiving inaccurate datasets  Data is ready for analysis  Huge time gains compared to manual process in AutoCAD

9 © 2005 Autodesk 9 Top reasons to crossgrade to Autodesk Map 3D Do you want to gain up to 25% efficiency while creating data ? Did you ever...  …put a point on the wrong layer ?  …give a line the wrong linetype ?  …give a polygon the wrong color ? Using the feature classification facility in Autodesk Map 3D 2006  Organize objects in your drawing based on the real-world features that they represent Benefits  Drives design efficiency (up to 25%)  Drives consistency and saves errors  Makes it easier for others to work with this data

10 © 2005 Autodesk 10 Top reasons to crossgrade to Autodesk Map 3D What is more convincing?  You could use just a Black and White map, with some indications, such as red circles  Or you could use the Display Manager to create a stylized versions of your data to highlight specific features or information Do you ever want to present a thematic map?

11 © 2005 Autodesk 11 Top reasons to crossgrade to Autodesk Map 3D If you do one or more of the following You… … work with several, large files at the same time … use ESRI, Microstation or MapInfo files … have a GIS department that uses ESRI ArcSDE … ever receive files that need cleaning up … want to gain up to 25% efficiency while creating data … ever want to present a thematic map Autodesk Map 3D is the solution!
