Features Include:

• Built on the New AutoCAD 2009 Platform - AutoCAD® Map 3D 2009 is built on the latest release of AutoCAD® software and is enhanced with a suite of geospatial tools.
• Geographic Coordinate Systems - Work with more than 4,000 real-world coordinate systems or define your own custom coordinate system. Use tools such as transform, rubbersheeting, and track coordinates to accurately georeference your AutoCAD design data.
  
• Direct Data Access - AutoCAD Map 3D software integrates CAD and geographic information system (GIS) data. Directly access and edit spatial data that resides in a variety of data sources, including file formats such as DWG™ and ESRI SHP, and databases such as Oracle® and ESRI® ArcSDE®, or use Oracle, Microsoft® SQL Server™, and MySQL® to store spatial data without expensive middleware.
• Data Exchange - AutoCAD Map 3D interoperates with all major design and GIS software, so you can read, write, and convert data between standard formats, including DWG, Arc/Info® coverages, SHP and E00 from ESRI, MapInfo MIF/MID™, MapInfo TAB, MicroStation® DGN (V7 and V8), Generalized Markup Language (GML 3.1.1), Ordnance Survey MasterMap (DNF) (GML2, read only), Vector Product Format (VPF, read only), Autodesk SDF, and Spatial Data Transfer Standard (SDTS, read only).
  
• Data Cleanup - Automate the often time-consuming correction of common drafting and digitizing errors using data cleanup tools. Delete duplicates, correct undershoots and dangling objects, and more.
• DWG Query - Using DWG query functionality, multiple users can access, search, and edit the same sets of DWG files or base maps simultaneously.
  
• Lightweight COGO Tools - Input and inquiry tools help you create and measure simple coordinate geometry (COGO) for lines, curves, closed polylines, and polygons.
  
• CAD Editing on Geospatial Data - Data accessed through FDO Data Access Technology can be directly edited with standard AutoCAD commands such as Pedit, Trim, Break, Join, Offset, Extend, Rotate, Move, and Cut/Copy/Paste.
• Classification - Organize objects in your drawing by the real-world features that they represent (for example, roads, parcels, cables, or water pipes).
• Map Creation and Stylization - Cartography tools enable you to create maps that in the past had to be created with additional GIS-specific software. Easily create stylized maps that highlight specific features or information such as service areas, zoning districts, land usage, pipe and cable installation dates and diameters, and much more.
• GIS Analysis - Answer questions about your data and make decisions. Utilize information in vector and tabular formats and link the data together.
  
• GRID (Raster) Surfaces - Visualize and analyze large-scale topographic information - digital elevation models (DEM) and ESRI GRID files - for elevation, slope, and aspect, as well as create contours and perform sunlight studies with hillshading.
• Database Integration - AutoCAD Map 3D provides open, standards-based database support. Easily join CAD objects to commonly used databases such as Microsoft® Access and easily store CAD and GIS data in popular relational database management systems (RDBMSes), including ESRI ArcSDE managed databases.
• Data Management Tools - Easily and effectively manage spatial data in virtually any format. Use intuitive tools to quickly and easily create users, define schemas (databases and files), or load data models via XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) from industry-standard modeling programs.
• Spatial Data File (SDF) - The spatial data file (SDF) enables you to organize and manage your data as real-world features. Increased storage capacity and faster performance compared with DWG make this easy-to-manage file-based data repository a smart choice when an enterprise database doesn't make sense.
• Metadata - Maintain your investment in spatial data with tools to create and edit metadata (the who, what, when, where, why, and how) about your spatial information and publish it in standard formats, including ISO 19115 and 19139 and FGDC.
• Publishing Tools - Distribute your geospatial data, maps, and designs in a variety of ways to meet your organization's needs.
  
• Extensibility via Open Source - With the power of FDO Data Access Technology on the desktop, AutoCAD Map 3D makes it easy for you to take advantage of the open-source world by extending data access with third-party and open-source FDO providers for data stores not currently supported by Autodesk (for example, ESRI Personal Geodatabase and PostGIS).
• Robust APIs - AutoCAD Map 3D comes with robust .NET application programming interfaces (APIs) that organizations can use to create custom tools and automate common procedures.
