MapRelate™ is a complementary component for AutoCAD® that allows users to gain instant access to their local or corporately held geospatial data from directly within their native AutoCAD environment. This means a user can combine or overlay their design accurately against detailed geospatial data, improving design precision and providing a simple solution for architects, engineers and data administrators to meet legal and customer obligations. It is designed to provide any CAD user with high performance, on-demand mapping within standard AutoCAD, and is operated via an intuitive interface or via the command line.
South Lanarkshire Council bridge the CAD and GIS divide
1Spatial provided South Lanarkshire Council with a corporate licence for MapRelate™. This is designed to provide live spatial connectivity directly from within AutoCAD. MapRelate fits seamlessly with existing IT infrastructure and GIS, such as Oracle relational databases, ESRI ArcSDE, ESRI SHP files and other industry standard formats.

Who is it for?
Any user of AutoCAD with a requirement to place their design in the context of the ‘real world’. MapRelate can be used in a wide variety of organisations including Local and Central Government, Utilities, Data Suppliers, Construction and Architecture.
MapRelate is designed to provide any AutoCAD user with on-demand mapping within a standard AutoCAD environment. It can be operated using either the simple drop-down menus within the interface or the standard AutoCAD command line. MapRelate is a low cost and easy-to-install solution with comprehensive documentation included as part of the online offering. It provides traditional AutoCAD users with an initial stepping stone to the full power of Autodesk's geospatial AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 platform.
MapRelate comes with a full Administrator interface allowing departmental or IT Administrators to control and monitor spatial data access permissions for standard user groups.
Version 1.7 is primarily focussed on supporting the AutoCAD 2010 series from Autodesk (in addition to the 2008 and 2009 versions). MapRelate now includes enhanced data support with direct GML and OS MasterMap® reading and support for ESRI personal GeoDatabases.
