Autodesk Announces Tighter Autodesk Map 5 Integration with Oracle9i Database and New Polygon Object for Easier Data Creation, Access, and Management.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN RAFAEL San Rafael (săn rəfĕl`), residential city (1990 pop. 48,404), seat of Marin co., W Calif., a suburb of San Francisco on the northern shore of San Francisco Bay; inc. 1913. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 1, 2002 New Software Extension Provides Direct Link Between Autodesk (Autodesk, Inc., San Rafael, CA, www.autodesk.com) A leading provider of computer-aided design (CAD) software, founded in 1982. It introduced AutoCAD in its first year, and three years later, became the first PC CAD company to go public. Map and Oracle(R) Spatial Technology to Increase User Efficiency and Flexibility Autodesk, Inc. (Nasdaq:ADSK ADSK Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ stock symbol) ), the world's leading design software and digital content company, today announced the availability of the new Autodesk Map 5 Polygon polygon, closed plane figure bounded by straight line segments as sides. A polygon is convex if any two points inside the polygon can be connected by a line segment that does not intersect any side. If a side is intersected, the polygon is called concave. and Advanced Extension for Oracle9i Database in an effort to help organizations better use and manage spatial data Data that is represented as 2D or 3D images. A geographic information system (GIS) is one of the primary applications of spatial data (land maps). See spatial analysis, spatial resolution and GIS glossary. to meet their business objectives. The new extension is targeted at engineers, planners, utility managers, and mapping professionals who produce spatial data saved in an Oracle9i database for projects including mapping subdivisions, road networks, physical infrastructure, or any design project requiring a visual representation of spatial data. The new extension provides a direct link between Autodesk Map 5 software, with its powerful data creation and editing capabilities, and the spatial technology capabilities available with Oracle9i Database. The extension provides a true Geographical Information Systems Geographical Information System - Geographic Information System (GIS (1) (Geographic Information System) An information system that deals with spatial information. Often called "mapping software," it links attributes and characteristics of an area to its geographic location. ) polygon object, which permits translation of data between Autodesk Map and other GIS applications, including Autodesk MapGuide software.
