Autodesk India Launches Infrastructure Modelling Software

Autodesk's infrastructure modelling software products provide users with mapping, data aggregation, and management tools they need across the infrastructure design and management workflow.

AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 software is an engineering solution for creating and managing spatial data. Using open-source Feature Data Object (FDO) data access technology, AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 software provides direct access to the leading data formats used in design and GIS and enables the use of AutoCAD software tools for maintaining a broad variety of spatial information. For the Infrastructure Modelling process, AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 brings together geospatial, civil engineering, and utility network data into a common CAD environment. New features in AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 include: increased options for importing survey data, enhanced data analysis capabilities, and new workflow framework.

AutoCAD Raster Design 2010 software enables engineers and designers to use scanned paper drawings, maps, satellite images, aerial photos, and similar digital imagery within their design projects. With this tool, designers can turn scanned designs into digital CAD data that can be incorporated into infrastructure models. AutoCAD Raster Design 2010 now includes: support for additional AutoCAD products and more deployment options.

Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise 2010 software is a mapping platform for delivering CAD and GIS information quickly and cost-effectively via the web. It helps to maximise the value of design and spatial data by enabling information sharing with customers and internal teams, as well as integrating with enterprise applications. Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise 2010 offers improved performance, raster reprojection capability, and new FDO providers for Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and GE Energy Smallworld. In addition, Autodesk MapGuide Studio 2010, the authoring environment for Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise 2010, will be offered free to Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise subscription customers.

Autodesk Topobase 2010 infrastructure model management software provides a single source of accurate network information for maintenance, planning, reporting, and integration into asset management and operational systems. Built on AutoCAD Map 3D and Autodesk MapGuide software, Topobase is an open solution with industry-specific workflows that helps customers reduce backlogs, enhance data quality and improve operational efficiency. New features in Topobase 2010 include simplified underground asset profile creation tools; enhanced reporting and charting capabilities; improved Web performance; and easier and greater control over user access.
