DAT/EM MapEditor is a toolkit with automated editing shortcuts for AutoCAD® or MicroStation®. MapEditor for AutoCAD works completely within AutoCAD and AutoCAD-based applications such as Map3D and Civil3D; MapEditor for MicroStation works entirely within MicroStation and MicroStation-based applications such as Bentley Map. Both versions offer a collection of interactive, semi-interactive and automatic specialty mapping tools such as contour labeling and redundant feature detection. MapEditor is included with Summit Evolution Professional and Feature Collection and is also sold separately.
- 3D TO 2D removes Z from polylines.
- BREAK polylines along cutting edges.
- BREAKLINE FILTER changes the layer of DTM points that are located near linework.
- CLEANUP fixes polyline errors that AutoCAD AUDIT misses.
- CROSSCHECK verifies intersections and optionally adds vertex nodes or breaks.
- EDITLINE draws or combines existing polylines into a new polyline section.
- ELEVATE drapes objects based on a DEM.
- EXTEND trims or extends polylines to meet other polylines.
- FILTER reduces number of polyline vertices and maintains initial appearance.
- FIX Z values on 2D polylines so vertex shares elevation with starting segment.
- GRIDIT inserts a map sheet grid with northing and easting text.
- JOIN combines polylines.
- POLYLINE LENGTH finds polylines by length or by number of vertices and distance.
- REPLACE, RESIZE or CHANGE blocks and text.
- VISIT moves to result coordinates.
- VOLUME CALCULATION calculates volumes based on an upper surface and a base elevation.
- BREAK elements at selected vertices, near points or on an intersecting element or fence.
- BREAKLINE FILTER deletes/modifies points from the area in or near line string and shapes.
- BUILDING FRAME creates 3D faces inside closed 3D polylines and extends sides to the ground.
- CHANGE ATTRIBUTES standardizes or changes combinations of level, color, weight and line code.
- CHECK ATTRIBUTES reports unverified objects for interactive editing.
- CLOSE LINE STRING converts open line strings to closed line strings or shapes.
- CROSSCHECK verifies intersections and optionally adds vertex nodes or breaks.
- CURVE TO LINE STRING turns curves into line strings (also works in reverse order).
- DELETE removes objects based on attributes.
- FIX COMPLEX HEADER verifies, repairs and compresses complex line strings and shapes.
- JOIN combines line strings in the main file or end snaps to reference elements.
- TOUCH extends or trims lines to create intersections and optionally adds vertex nodes.
- VISIT moves to result coordinates.
- VOLUME calculates volumes based on input files and levels.
