Survey Tools for Map 3D 2009 Subscription Customers

Are you a Map user on subscription? Keep an eye on the Subscription website for several new tools to make you more productive. The new tools will be available for download starting June 27th,2008.

I have been trying out the new surveying tools add-in for Map. There are several new COGO commands to enhance what we have on the Input and Inquiry toolbar. Those commands include a Bearing/Bearing transparent command, and a Distance/Distance transparent command.

In my opinion, the most significant thing the survey add-in allows users to do is to create a GeoTIFF from point data. DTM is back, and better than ever. In plain English, that means you can make a 3D surface right in Map.

In the following screen shot, you see the surface’s data being added from an external text file or FDO source containing contours.

You can add break lines to a surface right through the Display Manager in the Task Pane. Best of all, you can export the surface using LandXML to share with a Civil 3D user.

This is a great step forward for Map users who may have been considering the jump to Civil 3D.
