AutoCAD Map 3D

Serving as the desktop-based core of the Autodesk geospatial platform, AutoCAD® Map 3D enables civil engineers to create and edit spatial data. Along with all the powerful tools of AutoCAD software, AutoCAD Map 3D has the geospatial functionality important to both geographic information system (GIS) and engineering staff, such as data cleanup functions, coordinate systems, GIS analysis (thematic mapping and buffers, for example), and database functions.

AutoCAD Map 3D features include

  • Native access to CAD, GIS, and raster data formats
  • AutoCAD tools for precision editing of GIS data
  • GIS tools for map creation and presentation
  • Web publishing via Autodesk MapGuide® Enterprise and MapGuide Open Source
