AutoCAD Land Desktop

Features

Microsoft Vista (32-bit) Compatible
AutoCAD® Land Desktop software is supported on the Microsoft® Windows Vista® 32-bit platform. Support for the following editions is provided: Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows Vista Business, and Windows Vista Ultimate.

Industry-Specific Engineering Drawing Standards
AutoCAD Land Desktop includes a complete set of imperial and metric CAD standards for the land developer. Accompanying prototype drawings contain standard layer definitions, prototype projects with description key files, point group definitions and other project settings, symbol libraries, label styles, contour styles, drawing setup files, and figure prefix libraries. Supporting documentation makes it easy to create your own office standards manual. Use these drawing and production standards to dramatically lower costs while improving quality and consistency of construction documents.

AutoCAD Civil 3D Data Interoperability
Seamlessly migrate AutoCAD Land Desktop data into AutoCAD® Civil 3D® projects. Use AutoCAD Civil 3D to increase productivity and accuracy by using a dynamic engineering model for civil engineering projects such as road, site, sewer and storm drain, and subdivision projects.

Civil Batch Drawing Converter Utility
The Autodesk® Civil Batch Drawing Converter Utility lets you set the INSUNITS in a drawing to any supported unit to help ensure correct scale and display when you open the drawing in AutoCAD Land Desktop.

Support for Microsoft Windows XP Restricted and Limited User Setup
Support for Microsoft® Windows® XP Restricted and Limited User settings provides IT professionals and network administrators with greater control over security configurations. AutoCAD Land Desktop supports Windows XP Restricted and Limited User network configurations, so you can deploy AutoCAD Land Desktop without changing user permissions on your network. Simplify network administration while maximizing security using the most appropriate permissions configuration for your AutoCAD Land Desktop deployments.

Parking Layout Dynamic Blocks
Based on the AutoCAD® software Dynamic Blocks, AutoCAD Land Desktop includes Dynamic Blocks specifically designed for parking lot layout. Dimensions are dynamically displayed on geometry as you create or edit it. Enter new values directly at the graphics cursor. Revised values are displayed instantly in the drawing geometry, providing immediate feedback on the information you enter. Parking lot and island layout is interactive and much more efficient not only for 90-degree parking lot lines but for angled parking and curb stops as well.

Detail Component Manager
The Detail Component Manager provides an uncomplicated interface for creating and managing construction details simply, quickly, and easily. It combines database information with XML files to create a detail of one or more construction materials in plan, elevation, or section view. You can also use it to manage blocks and symbols.

Point Management and Reporting
Efficiently define and manage point collections in logical and clear groupings. Point groups also allow you to represent data from a single point in multiple ways, eliminating unnecessary duplication of points. The result: increased performance and a streamlined project.

Alignment Annotation
Quickly and accurately draft stationing, station/offset labels, and offset alignments that match drafting requirements.

Label Styles
A style-based mechanism to control label appearance enables all drafters to create consistent finish drafting for labels and tables.

Terrain Model Creation
Create a surface from a variety of 3D data, including points, contours, breaklines, AutoCAD entities, and more.

Parcel Definition and Management
Lay out parcels using standard AutoCAD functions or focused lot-sizing commands.

Contour Creation
Create contours directly from a terrain model or by using flexible layout commands. Styles help to control contour appearance, smoothing, and label characteristics.
