虽然这个产品对中国用户可能不太熟悉，但对于Map/MapGuide开发者来说，了解一下也有好处，其实这个是相当于在Map 3D/MapGuide 基础上二次开发的一个产品:)
Autodesk Topobase 2011
We are excited to announce the release of Autodesk® Topobase™ 2011. This fantastic product release, consisting of Autodesk Topobase Client and Autodesk Topobase Web, culminates a tremendous effort by an incredible, global team of people in UX, UA, SWD, QA, OPS, Localization, Project Management, Product Management and Marketing.
Autodesk Topobase infrastructure model management software provides more accurate information about the location and status of assets throughout our customers’ organizations. Some of the many Autodesk Topobase 2011 enhancements include improved administrative capabilities, enhanced 4D vertical modules, as well as some terrific new web features that will help our customers leverage the web as a point of access for their Topobase data.
Here are a handful of quotes from the Topobase 2011 Beta community celebrating this release:
“There’s really added value now compared to (other Infrastructure Model Management software releases).”
“The new quick plot really is a very cool feature…”
“There are some changes in the TBEXPORTDWG. You now export lines with global width attribute set => great, exactly what I wanted. There is a new progress bar => very useful”
“Again a nice new feature: The Server Administrator! It’s great that it is now possible to update all documents at a time and get a log file afterwards.”
“Let me start this Beta testing phase with a compliment: The new functionality for creating and combining Display Models is great. That really helps me a lot and…our users will like that…”
Please read on for detailed highlights and enhancements.
