AUTOCAD RASTER DESIGN 2008 FEATURES AND BENEFITS
8
Feature Description Benefit
Read support for
DTED format
elevation data
Insert DTED format level 0, 1,
and 2 files.
Increase usability of Raster
Design for federal agencies such
as the Department of Defense.
Increase the range of data
available for use in projects.
Raster data
provides more
than background
imagery
Represent and analyze raster
data in new ways through color
mapping. Visualize raster data in
pseudocolor and false color
infrared.
Bring a wider range of information
into projects.
Additional
support for raster
data formats
The software reads and writes
16-bit TIFF integer and 32-bit
TIFF floating-point files. It
provides support for writing
GeoTIFF files and reading DOQ
files.
Use a wider range of raster data
for display, analysis, and project
application without requiring
additional software.
Image capture Create a TIFF format “snapshot”
of color-mapped imagery at the
same insertion point and scale
as the original.
Extend DEM or multispectral data
analysis results for use in
applications such as Microsoft
®
Word and PowerPoint
®
software,
and AutoCAD. Use the snapshot
to produce “what-if” scenarios and
enhance presentations.
Transfer
georeferenced
images across
the Internet with
URL support
Extend your file system to
include Internet and intranet file
locations. Use sophisticated
imagery in civil, mapping, and
infrastructure management
projects. Use precorrelated
image data to match the project
coordinate system.
Improve productivity and
communication of information
through seamless data sharing,
and reduce the time required to
position images accurately.
Adjust correlation
parameters using
the Correlation
wizard
The Correlation wizard divides
the correlation process into
several phases, beginning with
the data included in the
correlation source and ending
with the actual coordinates of the
image after it has been inserted
into a drawing.
Save time using precorrelated
image data to match the project
coordinate system. Save money
by adapting existing data to your
new project.
Access object
properties in the
AutoCAD
Properties
window
View and change object
properties for any object using
the standard AutoCAD interface.
Control image, raster entity
manipulation (REM) object,
mask, and other properties from
the drawing database.
Reduce learning time and
improve productivity with
AutoCAD integration.
View image
properties and
thumbnails
before insertion
Use the Insert Image dialog box
to select one or more images to
insert into a drawing. View
information about an image and
preview the image before
inserting it.
Save time and improve accuracy
by helping to ensure that users
insert the correct image.
