Overview

Get powerful precision mapping with Autodesk Map™ 2004, the leading mapping application with the power of AutoCAD® 2004 built in. 

Productivity Tools

The drawing and data management tools of Autodesk Map 2004 help you work more efficiently. Whether you’re an engineer, planner, utility manager, or technician, Autodesk Map helps you create, maintain, and produce maps. Autodesk Map is part of the Autodesk GIS workflow solution. Autodesk Map now includes:

  • Enhanced drawing file format
  • True color and gradient fills
  • Enhanced Oracle Spatial
  • Enhanced import/export
  • Side-by-side installation and network installation wizard
  • Classification helps you identify, define, and manipulate data in a more intuitive way
  • Annotate objects—display textual values and expressions without the need to run a separate query
  • Create highly precise maps using coordinate geometry (COGO) input
  • Enhanced drawing cleanup functionality
  • Simplified topology capabilities make it easier to use
  • Expanded support for over 3,000 global coordinate systems, plus tools to create your own.
  • Create, edit, and manipulate multiloop mapping polygons
  • Improved tutorials for easy learning.
  • All the feature enhancements of the new AutoCAD 2004.

Easy Imports and Exports

Data access including read/write, conversion, and editing in Autodesk Map is more flexible than ever.

  • Enhanced FME-based Import/Export Engine
  • Support for Spatial Data Transfer Standard SDTS and Vector Markup Language VML
  • Enhanced reading and writing to Oracle® Spatial databases that maintain data integrity
  • Support for all major raster formats.

 

Features

True Color and Gradient Fills

True Color and Gradient Fills

Autodesk Map 2004 helps improve the quality of your presentation drawings using the new color— including true color and color book such as pantone—and shaded plotting tools. You can now use a gradient fill to create a smooth transition from one color to another.

Enhanced Oracle Spatial

Enhanced Oracle Spatial

Mapping, GIS, FM, and other geospatial data—now including engineering data in DWG form—can be stored and accessed in one central data source, Oracle Spatial. Organizations already using Oracle can expand their data stores to include geospatial data previously held in Autodesk Map drawings in a more flexible and efficient way.

Enhanced Import/Export

Enhanced Import/Export

Autodesk Map 2004 supports in the box two additional formats—SDTS (read only) and VML (write only). Increased functionality allows you to access more data sources, addressing the key issue of data integration. 

Classification

Classification

Classification makes it easier to manage and analyze drawing files. You will be able to handle more of your CAD data and real world objects in a more intuitive way. Classification is going to change your perception of the intelligence of drawings and maximize the way you manipulate your data.

COGO (Coordinate Geometry)

Cogo

Autodesk Map 2004 software extends the creation of highly accurate maps using COGO input functionality to all Autodesk Map users, particularly if you are involved in data input of survey data. COGO input options are accessible when you create any AutoCAD object.

Annotation

Annotation

Autodesk Map 2004 software also introduces a better way to retrieve the data attributes and properties. The new Annotation feature significantly improves communication inside your maps without requiring querying.

Drawing Cleanup

Drawing Cleanup

The enhanced drawing clean capabilities make it more consistent, reliable, and easy to use. For new customers, the functionality is easier to learn and the training time is significantly reduced. For existing customers, it’s more flexible and powerful. 

Topology

Topology

Autodesk Map 2004 improves its topology functionality as a set of connections that establishes how nodes, links, and polygons relate to each other when performing spatial analysis. With Autodesk Map 2004, you have more stability, flexibility and ease of use to one of the most critical mapping functionality. The feature is now simplified with a more consistent user interface. 

Polygon Object

Polygon Object

Autodesk Map delivers an integrated new multiloop polygon object throughout the product from the creation and the edition of polygon objects – including islands and holes - to the control of the polygon fill and hatch and to the full support of polygon objects with existing query/saveback, projection/ transformations, and property alterations.
