    Digging Into AutoCAD Map 3D 2010, is the latest book from Cadapult Software Solutions. Co-Authored by Rick Ellis and Russell Martin, it introduces you to the most important features of AutoCAD Map 3D that can help you to become a more productive and valuable user.

    The book is 341 pages organized into 14 chapters, each designed with a user-friendly, exercise based, step-by-step approach to many common tasks, including:

    Learning the new Ribbon Interface
    Repairing Incomplete or Inaccurate Geometry
    Collecting Data from Different Sources
    Connecting to Data Directly using FDO
    Attaching Data to AutoCAD Objects
    Automating Annotation of AutoCAD Objects
    Using Better COGO Tools
    Using Multiple Coordinate Systems
    Inserting Rectified Raster Images
    Using Contour Data from GIS Sources
    Learning the Basics of Queries
    Quickly and Easily Mapping your Data
