Civil Design Suite
Civil Design Suite
AutoCAD® Civil 3D® 2008 software provides civil engineers, designers, surveyors, and drafters with a comprehensive AutoCAD®-based
package for the design, drafting, and management of a wide range of civil engineering project types, including site development
and road design. Using an industry-proven, dynamic engineering model, AutoCAD Civil 3D links design and production drafting, greatly
reducing the time it takes to implement design changes and evaluate multiple scenarios. A change made in one place instantly updates
an entire project, helping you complete projects faster, smarter, and more accurately. All team members work from the same consistent,
up-to-date model, so they stay synchronized throughout all project phases.
The Model: Civil 3D® software uses a dynamic engineering model that delivers proven power to complete transportation, site, sewer,
storm drain, and subdivision projects up to 50 percent faster.* Surfaces, cross sections, profiles, annotations, and more are
dynamically linked and update automatically, reducing costly errors and omissions. Evaluate multiple alternatives quickly, make
smarter decisions, minimize manual edits, and output updated plans automatically. It’s design and drafting in one step.
The Team: One-at-a-time access can work for small projects, but for most everything else, you need parallel access by multiple
team members.
Civil 3D introduces collaborative design and drafting for smart, protected sharing of data throughout the project cycle, from
initial survey and design to plan production, field stakeout, and grading. Now the entire team stays coordinated and gets what
they need without having to wait for the next person to finish.
Land Desktop
AutoCAD® Land Desktop 2008 software simplifies time-consuming land development tasks and combines centralized data management
to streamline design and analysis collaboration.
Built on AutoCAD® 2008 and AutoCAD® Map 3D 2008 software platforms, AutoCAD Land
Desktop enables land development professionals to create maps, model terrain, label COGO points, perform alignments, and define
parcels quickly and easily. AutoCAD Land Desktop users can perform topographic analysis, use real-world coordinate systems, and
calculate volume totals and roadway geometry more rapidly and accurately. The enhanced Land Desktop 2008 comprehensive development
API (application programming interface) permits custom enhancements to meet users’ requirements.
Coordinate Land and Surveying Functions: Autodesk Land Desktop extends AutoCAD and Autodesk Map® 3D with enhanced land development
features and industry-leading analysis and drafting tools. Quickly add and label coordinate geometry (COGO) points, define and edit
parcels and roadway alignments, automate drafting procedures, create terrain models, and calculate volumes accurately and rapidly.
Autodesk Land Desktop is the foundation for Autodesk® Survey, enabling the consolidation of civil data and integration of your
organization’s land and surveying functions.
AutoCAD Map 3d
This release is the most powerful ever for creating and managing precise spatial data. Explore how AutoCAD® Map 3D 2008
software helps you work faster and more efficiently on the tasks that you do every day.
AutoCAD® 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.
As engineering, GIS, surveying, and IT departments collaborate and share geographic and design data, organizations can become more
competitive, provide better service, and respond to customers more rapidly. By integrating CAD and GIS, Autodesk Map® 3D software
helps make entire organizations—not just single departments—more effective, efficient, and profitable.
