AutoCAD Map 3D software is the leading engineering platform for creating and managing spatial data. Bridging the gap between CAD and GIS, AutoCAD Map 3D provides direct access to the leading data formats used in computer-aided design and GIS. AutoCAD Map 3D enables the use of AutoCAD software tools in maintaining a broad variety of geospatial information and allows design processes to integrate GIS functions in a single environment for more efficient workflows. The results are improved designs, increased productivity, and better data quality. When combined with Autodesk MapGuide technology, AutoCAD Map 3D provides a quick way to publish data to the web or intranet.
