Publish maps
In addition to printing your maps on a plotter, you can do the following:
- Use map books to divide a large map into tiles, which are rendered on separate pages. You can include a legend, title, and other information on each page.
- Produce maps with insets using map books.
- Create comma-separated reports as text files, listing information about objects in attached drawing files. You can import the report files into a spreadsheet, database, or document.
- Use Autodesk MapGuide® technology to post maps and map books on the web or on an intranet. The way that you send maps to this platform varies, depending on whether you use the current version of Autodesk MapGuide, MapGuide Open Source, or Autodesk MapGuide versions 6.5 and earlier.
- Save
maps in Autodesk DWF format to use with
Autodesk Design Review (the latest version of the DWF Viewer), and
distribute or post the results on the web or on an intranet. You
can create map books in DWF format.
As long as you have assigned a coordinate system to all the maps in your DWF file, the publishing operation automatically converts the coordinate information to latitude/longitude coordinates. Autodesk Design Review 2008 can automatically navigate to a specific location when you enter coordinates, and displays coordinates of any location in the map when you move your mouse over that location. When your computer is integrated with a GPS device that uses the NMEA 0183 protocol, field workers can center the map to the coordinates provided by the integrated GPS device on your system, and display the “my coordinates” icon within the map.
- Create a static web page from your map.
- Use eTransmit to package all the files your map uses and send them to another AutoCAD Map 3D user.
