Today, it's not just about producing design. It's about how you use your design data - sharing, accessing and navigating drawings and resources; deploying and integrating your design assets throughout the entire organization; and creating your data once and reusing it further downstream in the desing process. Which translates into higher productivity, faster time to market, and increased profitability.

Autodesk Civil Design 3

Autodesk Civil Design 3 software is the solution for every civil engineering task - whether you're producing plan, profile and section drawings; defining pipe runs reative to a roadway offset; or calculating surface-water runoff using various industry-standard analysis methods. With Autodesk Civil Design, you can create drawings for drainage structures from defined profile, slope and required volume data. Evaluate and refine complex grading scenarios using powerful objects that react automatically to design changes. Work interactively between plan, profile and sectional designs with road engineering capabilities. You can even apply design tules, transitional strings and scrtional criteria when designing all details of a road.. And you'll design toads more quickly and intelligently, thanks to the new Vertical Designer.

Using Autodesk Civil Design 3 software, you can access design data such as terrain model elevations or poitn locations in Autodesk Land Desktop 3 to automatically create drawing for roadway plans, profiles and sections, pipe runs and grading schemes. Because the reference data is not imported into the drawing, the drafting process is not slowed down by irrelevant data, such as terrainmodel faces or complex roadway elements.

Autodesk Civil Design 3 is seamlessly integrated with Autodesk Land Desktop 3 is seamlessly integrated with Autodesk Land Desktop 3 software, which provides point management, terrain modeling and contouring and alignments and parcels. Autodesk Land Desktop is built on Autodesk Map 5, which includes the solid code base of AutoCAD 2002. With its industry-leading DWG file format, AutoCAD enables you to communicate with your land development colleagues wherever they're working.

Autodesk Field Survey

Autodesk® Field Survey is a full-featured, coordinate geometry package for small firms specializing in survey, civil design, or land development. Built around the AutoCAD® 2000i OEM graphics engine, Autodesk Field Survey reads and writes standard AutoCAD drawings and links smoothly to the file formats of the Autodesk industry-specific products based on AutoCAD. The combination of points, surfaces, volumes, centerline, and profile tools offer the Autodesk Field Survey user a complete solution for taking a job from the field to final submission, without the need for additional software.

Autodesk Land Desktop

Autodesk Land Desktop 3 extends Autodesk Map 5 software with discipline-specific land development features and functionality. These include powerful and intuitive tools that let you create and label survey points, define and edit parcels and roadway alignments, automate drafting procedures, create terrain models and calculate volumes and contours.

At the core is a centralized project structure that allows you to work more efficiently on any size or type of project. All of your critical data - points, terrain models and alignments - is stored in a central location where it can be shared with others and used to create drawings. When the project changes, your entire team can react quickly, all working from the same information.

Autodesk Map 5

Whether you are an engineer, planner, utility manager, or technician, the drawing and data management tools of Autodesk Map 5 let you work faster, better and more productively. Map 5 imports and exports data in the format you need, from all the industry-standard databases. It allows simultaneous access to multiple drawing files and multiuser access to the same drawing file. It offers more than 3,000 global coordinate systems, plus tools to create your own. It delivers powerful data querying and property alteration tools, spatial analysis and imagery features, and sophisticated control of plotting for [resentations. And it provides real-time connections to colleagues, customers and data, as well as direct access to the Autodesk Point A portal.

With AUtodesk Map 5's Oracle8i Spatial integration, you can export DWG files into an Oracle Spatial database and selectively query and edit information. Oracle Spatial data can also be viewed in the field with Autodesk MapGuide and Autodesk OnSite Enterprise, extending your critical digital design and mapping data right to the point of work

Thematic maps use color, linetypes, symbols, text, or other display properties to convey important information. Now you can create and edit detailed information-rich thematic maps more quickly and intuitively with a new wizard user interface. Even expert mappers will appreciate this enhanced ease of use.

Autodesk Survey 3

Autodesk Survey 3 extends the functionality of Autodesk Land Desktop 3 to automatically create linework, points, symbols and terrain-model breaklines directly form field survey data. Field codes care connected to create lines and curves on user-defined layers. Points are added to the project data-base, and the description key automatically adds the detailed descriptions and symbols. Linework can be used as breaklines when generating terrain models. After you complete the design phase, the field crew can transmit proposed grade points back to the data collector for stakeout.

With Autodesk Survey, you can communicate with more than 60 types of survey instruments, including data collectors, total stations, GPS recievers and digital lasers. It also converts ASCII and coordinate data to and from a wide range of data formats.

When creating surveying and engineering project data with Autodesk Survey, you're also creating DWG drawing files simultaneously. That means you never have to translate between the data and the drawing. And Autodesk Survey has tools for reducing your field data for analysis and import, including tabular input and fieldbook creation and editing.

Autodesk Survey 3 seamlessly integrated wiht Autodesk Land Desktop 3 software, which provides point management, terrain modeling and contouring, and alignments and parcels. Autodesk Land Desktop is built on AutoCAD, the world's most popular CAD software, so you can communicate with land planning colleagues wherever they're working
