Now available on Amazon: my latest book AutoCAD Map 3D for Civil Designers!
When you mainly work in CAD but sometimes also want to view, assess, and present geo-data, it is very useful to know a little more about GIS. You don’t need to go into every detail of GIS, because not everyone is an experienced data analyst, but definitely a CAD expert.
This book will get you started in understanding and visualizing geo-data in the CAD way. How to enrich and manipulate it. For example, by merging tables based on matching data. Or by combining objects with overlapping locations. Generating buffers and filtering objects. Reading data sources using an online or offline method. You will learn about concepts such as WFS, WMTS and ATOM. You will search for available sources around the world.
Working with raster data or vector data is no problem in AutoCAD Map 3D. As is projecting to the various coordinate systems. You learn to execute queries and expressions on the data. You will create layouts with a legend, north arrow and multiple maps. With help of clear examples you will explore the possibilities of AutoCAD Map 3D. There are no simple methods, but there are countless functions and possibilities that can be applied to any project. Sometimes in a different order, sometimes with a different purpose.
Wil je jouw civiele ontwerpen of situatiemetingen krachtiger maken met een beetje GIS, maar zonder dat je data-analist hoeft te zijn? Dan is dit boek jouw gids om CAD en GIS te combineren waarbij je het beste uit twee werelden kunt toepassen. This book is only available in English.
