What about standard AutoCAD® users ? AutoCAD® users can see your geometry in .DWG

AutoCAD® users can see your geometry in .DWG

AutoCAD® Map 3D imports lots of extra formatsERSI Map Info MasterMap® XML GML GZ As well as bringing in the geometry from these file-types the underlying data is also availableVector Mapping Images (Tiff, JPG etc.,) are correctly geo-referenced

Do I need to replace all my data ?

Legacy LandLine® Data Most organisations still hold legacy LandLine® data DXF or DWG format“Easy Peasy”

Legacy Drawing DataControl multiple drawingsTiled or overlaid informationQuickly get the information you want from multiple AutoCAD® drawings

Using MasterMap® like LandLine® MasterMap® can be themed like LandLine® Styling MasterMap® is easy“Easy Peasy”

You can do more with MasterMap® Underlying data means you can theme Styling is easy“Easy Peasy”

You can do even more with AutoCAD Map®3D Analyse your drawings“Easy Peasy”
