There is almost no need for entire cartographical area common database at the map creation and GIS data preparation stage while its creation at the data collection stage is almost impossible since the work is being done by numerous regular and outsourced employees and organizations. For technological reasons related to high operation speed requirements as well as organizational, technical and other restrictions, a mapping area is usually divided into numerous fragments (sheets), and maps and GIS data are created separately (sheet by sheet) by several users at the same time. In most cases, structure and volume of a digital map object additional data are simple and small. Thus, the most suitable digital mapping and GIS data creation software should have the most extensive drawing functionality (and CAD answers this purpose above all) and the possibility of graphical elements additional data assigning. Furthermore, for computer spatial analysis it is necessary to ensure digital maps’ graphical data topological correctness. To create proper digital maps, drawn vector data should be defined with the information on entities and the attributes of terrain objects it represents to allow computer data analysis. Therefore, the first and the most expected and the most justified function of such product is drawing (creation) of digital plans and maps, GIS data preparation, collection and display of initial terrain data as well as initial spatial data in DWG files.ĭigital mapping and GIS data preparation consist primarily of maps and plans drawing based on the initial terrain data: aerial interpretation of orthophotos, stereopairs, laser scanning and other remote-sensed data ground survey data drawing digitization of raster maps and plans. for the program designed mainly for drawing.

Object Data in AutoCAD Map 3D is a near-optimal way to describe graphic elements’ additional data in DWG files, which can turn AutoCAD Map 3D into one of the most effective digital mapping software given that the sufficient instrumentation is available.ĪutoCAD Map 3D is a mapping vertical product for AutoCAD, i.e. This is a non-API article from Alexander, a longtime Autodesk partner.
