 AutoCAD® Civil 3D® 2010
AutoCAD® Civil 3D® 2010 software—the building information modeling (BIM) solution for civil engineering.

AutoCAD® Civil 3D® 2010 software, the building information modeling (BIM) solution for civil engineering, helps project teams create, predict, and deliver transportation, land development, and environmental projects more efficiently. AutoCAD Civil 3D helps civil engineers explore more what-if scenarios and optimize project performance with visualization and analysis tools such as geospatial and stormwater analysis, quantity-takeoff, and interactive 3D simulations. The creation of better coordinated and more reliable design information enables delivery of higher-quality documentation and accurate 3D models for automated machine guidance during construction. BIM helps civil engineers minimize errors and omissions, make better decisions, shorten production time, and gain a competitive advantage.

Autodesk Vault
Maximize return on your company’s investment in design data by driving design re-use with Autodesk Vault software. A data management tool that helps manage and securely store design data, Autodesk Vault allows users to organize all engineering data in a centralized location and reduces the time needed to find, reference, and re-use design data. As product designs evolve, version management in Autodesk Vault provides protection from unintentional overwriting of good designs. In addition, users can save hours of valuable design time with the powerful copy and re-use capabilities that reduce the time required to start a new design.

Geospatial Software

AutoCAD®  Map 3D 2010
Bridge the gap between CAD and GIS

AutoCAD® Map 3D software is a leading engineering platform for creating and managing spatial data. Using open-source Feature Data Object (FDO) technology, AutoCAD Map 3D 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.  Bridging the gap between CAD and GIS, AutoCAD Map 3D makes it possible for engineering and GIS professionals to work with the same data and enables design processes to integrate geospatial functions in a single environment for more efficient workflows. The results are better designs, increased productivity, and better data quality.
