Remote Sensing

The AutoCAD 2009 Application window has a new look and feel. It provides easy access to the most commonly used tools while maximizing the drawing area. The default application window includes the Menu Browser, Quick Access toolbar, InfoCenter, Ribbon, and Status bar. Many of these user interface enhancements become even more valuable with a dual monitor configuration.
The model space background has been changed to a default off-white color, enabling you to draw in model space with dark colors that you can see just as easily on the white paperspace layouts.

Update 1

• 3D Visual Styles
• Annotation Scaling
• External References (xref) Palette

If you ever wanted the ability in Civil 3D to go backward and forward like you navigate in a browser, wait no more! Some of our brightest folks at Autodesk Labs churn out such widgets, and have recently posted a free utility to do just that.

Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) is an American multinational corporation that focuses on 2D and 3D design software for use in architecture, engineering and building construction, manufacturing, and media and entertainment. Autodesk was founded in 1982 by John Walker, a co-author of early versions of the company's flagship CAD software product, AutoCAD, and twelve other co-founders. It is headquartered in San Rafael, California.

Autodesk has arguably become best-known due to its flagship computer-aided design software AutoCAD. Today, Autodesk is the world’s largest design software company, with more than 9 million users[2] throughout the world, and the company was recently named number 25 on Fast Company's list of "The World's 50 Most Innovative Companies."[3]

Autodesk has developed a broad portfolio of digital prototyping solutions[4] to help users visualize, simulate, and analyze real-world performance throughout the design process. The company also provides digital media creation and management software across all media and entertainment disciplines, from film and television visual effects, color grading, and editing to animation, game development, and design visualization

MapInfo Professional is a powerful Microsoft® Windows®-based mapping and geographic analysis application from the experts in location intelligence. Designed to easily visualize the relationships between data and geography, MapInfo Professional helps business analysts, planners, GIS professionals – even non-GIS users – gain new insights into their markets, share information-rich maps and graphs and improve strategic decision-making.

MapInfo developed the first desktop GIS in 1986[citation needed]. Originally, the intention was to create an easy-to-use software package that did not require exceedingly large amounts of computing power.

MapInfo provided the first tools to Microsoft that allowed them to include mapping functionality in their products, specifically the mapping add-on branded as Microsoft Map for Microsoft Excel as part of MS Office 95. The add-on was subsequently included in Microsoft Office 97, and Microsoft Office 2000. This provided the inspiration for the Microsoft MapPoint program, which became a separate product from Microsoft, and since that Microsoft Map was dropped.

MapInfo collaborated with Oracle Corporation to develop the original spatial cartridge for the Oracle 8i database.
