Using AutoCAD Map 3.0

This text is designed to provide a practical approach to introduce Geographic Information Systems (GIS) through the use of AutoCAD Map. GIS is one of the fastest growing sectors of the computer software industry. Students will learn how to complete sophisticated applications and techniques, including Overlay Analysis, Topological Queries, Edge Matching, and attaching external databases such as ACCESS or dBase. Abundant illustrations, screen captures, and systematic procedures guide students through tutorials. A CD-ROM containing many files gets the student into complex, real-world GIS problems quickly. Major GIS topics are explained and exercises and tutorials are provided to reinforce understanding for GIS students.
