Description

It operates independently with the included IntelliCAD license or can be utilized alongside a separately acquired full AutoCAD license. Purchases from Carlson Software will be sent via email, along with your new serial number and download instructions, typically within a two-business-day timeframe. All Map tools become accessible when used with AutoCAD Map, offering additional commands for managing Map data, including labeling Object Data Areas. Users can create points with customizable settings for symbols, layers, and styles, while the Point Group Manager allows for the organization of points into sets based on specified filters. The software includes features that automatically identify and resolve overlapping point labels using predetermined rules. Furthermore, it provides utilities for modifying point labels, including options to move them along with leaders, twist, or resize them as needed. Additionally, it includes construction estimating capabilities for tasks related to earthworks, subgrades, material quantities, strata quantities, and trench networks, making it a versatile tool for various engineering projects.
