The Map 3D toolset is included with AutoCAD 2025

Our model-based GIS mapping software provides access to CAD and GIS data to support planning, design, and management. With the Map 3D toolset, you can:

  • Directly access spatial data using Feature Data Objects (FDO) technology

  • Directly edit geospatial data

  • Manage infrastructure systems with Enterprise Industry Models
