Product Information

Autodesk® Land Desktop 2005 offers planners, engineers, and surveyors an integrated infrastructure solution that boosts profitability and promotes collaboration across all phases of land development.

Overview

Customisable Land Development and Planning Tools
For outstanding drafting, mapping, and analysis efficiency and productivity, Autodesk® Land Desktop 2005 incorporates all the features of AutoCAD® 2005, key components of Autodesk Map™ 3D 2005, plus specialized land-planning features—such as COGO and map creation, terrain modeling, alignments, and parcels—all in a single, customizable environment that’s easy to use.
The software’s simple interface and centralized data management promote collaborative design and analysis, enabling your entire team to quickly and accurately share large amounts of drawing and project data.
Autodesk Land Desktop 2005 delivers

• Create and label COGO points
• Define and edit parcels and roadway alignments
• Automate drafting procedures
• Create, analyse, and visualise terrain models
• Calculate volumes and contours

Powerful Land-Planning Tools
Autodesk Land Desktop 2005 extends Autodesk Map 3D functionality with discipline-specific land development capabilities. Use these powerful and intuitive tools to

• Create and label COGO points
• Define and edit parcels and roadway alignments
• Automate drafting procedures
• Create, analyse, and visualise terrain models
• Calculate volumes and contours

Centralised Structure Makes Collaboration Easier
At the software’s core is a centralized project structure that helps you work more efficiently on any size or type of project. All your critical data—points, terrain models, and alignments—is stored in a central location where it can be shared with others and used to create drawings. For example, 3D grids, contours, and sections are all extracted from a project’s terrain model. When the project changes, your entire team can react quickly—all working with the same information.

New Features, New Design Options
Autodesk Land Desktop 2005 integrates the new features of AutoCAD® 2005 and key components of the new Autodesk Map 3D, improving efficiency throughout the planning, production, and delivery process. Boost productivity with new documentation coordination capabilities that enable team members to manage individual sheets in each sheet set, electronically transmit or archive sheets, and automatically organise design data by publishing the sheet set to paper or DWF files. The software’s new Details Component Manager lowers the cost of creating construction documents; the new reporting and table-generation tools save time when creating final production drafting and submittal packages; and now you can turn Autodesk® Civil 3D objects, such as an alignment or a surface, directly into Autodesk Land Desktop project data, easily completing the movement of data.

Efficient Design, from Planning to Submittal Drawings
Autodesk Land Desktop increases ROI by speeding your projects from initial design through final documentation. It takes only minutes to combine existing drawing files, raster imagery, point data, and GIS source data. You can use this data to build and analyse terrain models, design proposed parcel and alignment locations, complete the drafting, and move data back to the field for construction.
