CV104-2: Aggravating...Aggregating Data
Instructor: Rick Ellis
Class Description: This class will expose AutoCAD® Civil 3D® users to the powerful tools that they have available as part of AutoCAD Map 3D, with an in-depth review of using AutoCAD Map 3D/AutoCAD Civil 3D during the early stages of project development. This class will focus on using Map 3D for aggregating and using data from external sources like ESRI shapefiles, E00 files, and raster images. Attendees will also learn to automate the processes of labeling features and creating thematic maps to display features like Land Use or Zoning. As you collect data for your project, you may find that some drawings were created in different coordinate systems or contain geometric errors like duplicate lines, undershoots, and overshoots; this class will demonstrate ways to manage and correct these issues. Finally, the class will compile a basemap for use in the next steps of the design process (which will be explored in later PowerTrack sessions) and explore options for exporting this data to a variety of other formats, including GIS systems and DWF™.
