Chapter 1 Introduction

The Land Development Solutions suite of products has much of the

same functionality. However, the “AutoCAD” part of the equation

(AutoCAD Land Development Desktop) now contains substantial base-

level Autodesk S8 Civil/Survey functionality that was in COGO, DTM,

Earthworks, Design, and Advanced Design.

The eight Autodesk S8 modules were redesigned to meet the needs of

different land development professionals. The commands used by

everyone in the design process were added to AutoCAD Land

Development Desktop. Release 2 of AutoCAD Land Development

Desktop is based on AutoCAD 2000 and AutoCAD Map 2000

functionality.

The survey and civil engineering commands were moved to two add-

on products, Autodesk Survey and Autodesk Civil Design. The

following illustration shows the new strategy and indicates the new

functionality that was added to the suite for Release 1.
