AutoCAD Map3D™ Work faster, smarter, and better. |
AutoCAD® Map 3D (formerly Autodesk Map® 3D) software 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. Using open source FDO Data Access Technology, AutoCAD Map 3D natively accesses spatial data stored in relational databases, files, and web-based services—providing easy management of large geospatial data sets, while streamlining entire workflows. With seamless integration of Autodesk MapGuide® software, AutoCAD Map 3D is the quickest way to publish data to the web or intranet. |

MapGuide Enterprise |
Extend the reach and value of spatial information using Autodesk MapGuide® Enterprise. Integrate design and spatial data from a variety of sources and servers, develop new applications, and widely disseminate maps and spatial views faster and more easily. Using industry-standard development tools, create and share spatial information as dynamic web pages or send to the field as self-contained, portable DWF™ files. Linux and Microsoft® Windows® platform support, support for Oracle® Spatial and Microsoft® SQL Server™, integration of Open Geospatial Consortium standards, and native DWF publishing make Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise a faster, easier, and more flexible way to integrate, analyse, and distribute crucial spatial information. |

MapGuide Studio |
Autodesk MapGuide® Studio manages all aspects of preparing geospatial data for distribution on the Internet. Upload data files, connect to databases, stylise and preview maps using a developer-friendly authoring environment. |
Autodesk Merge CAD and GIS
In looking to the year ahead, the single most important development that will drive the geospatial market is realising a new way to unlock GIS data from proprietary systems and make that information available throughout the organisation. This new way of using GIS information will help any person within an organisation to access mission-critical data and improve the organisation's productivity and efficiency through better collaboration and decision making.
The boundaries between GIS and CAD (computer-aided design) are blurring as these systems become interoperable within an open and secure enterprise database. This helps organisations to simplify data access and data sharing so that all information is interconnected and centralised. A truly open spatial organisation will realise lower costs and achieve greater return on investment by providing immediate access to data throughout a project, no matter the data's location or original format, helping to meet real-time information demands.
