 MapWorks Base Details

MapWorks Base is a collection of Civil/Survey tools for importing data files and manipulating geometry in Autodesk products including Civil3D, Land Desktop and AutoCAD.  It contains functionality for processing extended data, importing/exporting maps, a symbol manager with over mapping 175 symbols, coordinate projection support and a large collection of general tools to improve your productivity.

Import
  Introduction: Import major formats produced by ESRI, civil applications and government agencies. This tool allows you to select multiple files, specify a coordinate window, and quickly import mapping information directly into your CAD drawing.

Our Import tool has been tested with massive files, including a 3GB SHP/DBF from a major city.

    Project: The import tool can do a coordinate projection during import.  Simply assign source systems for each file (some autodetected) and a target system.
    Formats:
• Autodesk Breakline File (*.flt)
• Carlson SurvCADD Polyline File (*.pln)
• ESRI Generate Polyline File (*.gen;*.ung)
• ESRI Shape File (*.shp)
• Geography Markup Language (*.gml)
• Golden Software Blanking/Boundary (*.bln)
• Google Earth KML Files (*.kml)
  • GPS Exchange Format (*.gpx)
• LandXML Industry Consortium (*.xml)
• MapInfo Main Data Format (*.tab)
• MapInfo Data Interchange Format (*.mif)
• Moss/MX Genio String Files (*.mos)
• USGS Digital Line Graph (*.dlg;*.opt)

If you don't see your format listed, contact us.  We are always looking to add additional formats to our list.

Export
  Introduction: Export drawing geometry to several formats.
    Formats:
• Autodesk Breakline File (*.flt)
• Carlson SurvCADD Polyline File (*.pln)
• ESRI Generate Polyline File (*.gen)
• ESRI Shape File (*.shp)
  • Golden Software Blanking/Boundary (*.bln)
• GPS Exchange Format (*.gpx)
• Moss/MX Genio String Files (*.mos)
• OpenGIS Simple Features Text (*.txt)

Library
  Manager: A tool for managing both the symbols provided in MapWorks and your own user symbols.
 
Scale Previews: You can assign a scale factor from 10% to 200% to resize the DWG preview bitmaps.
Click Details: A single click gives you operating system file details along with properties embedded in the drawing, as accessed from the DWGPROPS command.
    Symbols: A collection of 168 symbols in the areas of arrows, mining, points, road plan, shapes, trees, utility, and vehicles.

Projections
  Systems: Includes support for all major systems, including LL27, LL84, NAD27, NAD83, HARN, etc.
    Alt Coords: A system allowing entry and labeling of a second system.  For example if your current drawing is in state plane, you can easily enter values in lat/long or place updatable labels displaying the alternate system.   You can even copy the labels and the alternate coordinates update on demand.
 
Set System: Sets the system code for the alternate coordinate system.
Entry: Enter an alternate coordinate any time AutoCAD is prompting for a point using the transparent 'AC command.
Label Add: Add an alternative coordinate label at multiple pick points.
  Convert Lat/Long: Reads lat/long text files (DD/DMS), projects to designated coordinate system and writes to point file.
  Coord Entry: Enter or pick coordinates which are projected and listed.  Convert between any two systems, even data shifts of NAD27 <> NAD83.
  Excel Parse: Projects coordinates in an Excel spreadsheet and writes the projected values to adjacent columns.
  GNIS Query: Uses the internet to query the Geographic Names Information System with plotting options.
  Google:
Elevation Grid: Inserts points on a grid interval with the elevations returned by Google's Elevation Service.
Earth Export: Select objects in the drawing and they appear in running Google Earth.
Get Earth Image: Gets the current Google Earth image and places it into the drawing.
Get Earth View: Sets Google Earth view to extents of current (system assigned) drawing.
Set Earth View: Sets the AutoCAD viewport to match the current Google Earth view.
  Image Symbols: Go straight from your GPS enabled camera to AutoCAD!  Locates symbols representing GPS Photos (with EXIF data) directly from images.  Creates a hyperlink to the image, projects to drawing system, rotates to view (if bearing data exists), and more.
  Set: Sets the coordinate system for current drawing.  This information is saved inside the drawing.
  Tracker: Tracks the coordinates of the AutoCAD cursor in multiple coordinate systems.
  Transform: Projects a selection set of geometry from one coordinate system to another in the current drawing.

Tools
    Block Tools:
  Scale/Rotate: Processes a selection set at their insertion points.
  Attr Flip/Move: Great for maintaining readability on labels.
  Elevate by Attr: Sets the elevation of inserts by the value of one of its attributes.
  Conv Spline: Converts a selection set of splines to polylines with arc options.
Draw:
Map Grid: Draws a map grid with optional lines/tics and labels.
Network Buffer: Creates buffer polylines around line network.
  Polyline Midway: Generates a polyline midway between two selected polylines.
Slope Lines: Draws three dimensional slope lines between two linear objects with optional slope arrows.
  Traverse: Draw polylines by distances and numerous angle options.
Elevate:
  Pick Object: Quick change elevation by selecting objects with proper elevation.
Image:
  Insert World: Inserts multiple TIF/JPG/PNG/SID images based on world files.
  Make World: Creates a World TFW/JGW/PGW/SDW file from a selected image (even rotated).
  World KeyDwgs: Creates multiple drawings with instance of single world image.
3DPoly:
  2D-3D by Points: Converts 2D/LW polylines to 3DPolys using adjacent nodes with optional transition.
  Grade Report: Displays a detailed report of slopes, grades, ratios, distances, etc.
  Convert to LW: Converts a selection set of 3DPolys to LWPoly.
  Offset: Offsets a 3dPolyline by a specified horz/vert distance.
  Slant/Grade: Adjusts elevations of 3Dpoly proportional to assigned endpoint elevations.
  Tag Editor: Edit 3DPoly vertices by changing text tags.
Polyline:
  Detail Report: Displays coordinates, direction/distance and curve details with summary information.
4-Pt Subdivide: Subdivides a four point polyline, useful in PLSS systems.
  Auto Connect: Automatically connect points and blocks to form new polyline.
Building Close: Closes a selection set of building polylines by adding the back corner.

Delete Int: Deletes intermediate polyline contours.  Reduce a dataset for quicker processing when intermediate contours are not important.
Edit Elevations: Edit the elevations of polylines in a table with sorting and factor application commands.
Label Elevations: Label polyline contours using AutoCAD text linetypes.  As the polyline is edited, the label moves with the changes.
Layer Index: Assigns polyline contours to specific layers based on its elevation value.  Useful for layerizing a contour map with no (or improper) layer assignments.
Volumes: Displays average contour area volumes from selected polylines.

  Manager: Allows xdata management operations across a selection set of objects.
  Edit: Edits the MapWorks extended entity data on a single object.
