New AutoMap Articles

AutoMap is a system of automated drafting tools that can help you organize many tasks. In general, the AutoMap routine allows you to work with your field codes and to assign attributes to points and linework as they are drawn in the CAD file.

Some functions of AutoMap include:

•          Assigning a symbol of your choice on each point based on description
•          Move descriptions, points, elevations, and points to a layer of a given name
•          Scaling a symbol to further customize each object
•          Connecting points using the line connectivity function
•          Further customizing linework with specific layers and line type
