  1. Map Product Generation, Publishing, and Finishing Tools Todd Rothermel Steve Sims Keith Raymond

  2. Agenda • Thematic Mapping • Annotation • Print Preparation • CADScript tools • Output • Intelligent PDF • 3D PDF • Google Earth • Printing and Publishing

  3. Product Generation and Finishing • The process of embellishing original design data for a particular purpose or product • Adding intelligence to digital output • Producing custom output based on queries or attributes • Changing linework to suit a particular purpose • Output to different forms to be combined with other data

  4. Thematic Mapping

  5. Bentley Map • Map finishing ... • Interactively place borders • Border libraries • Size scale dependant • Graphical placement (move, rotate, scale) • Automatically place metadata

  6. Bentley Map • Map finishing ... • Create grids, graticules, legends, paper-space sheet models • Plot high fidelity output

  7. Intelligent PDF – Web Links if (level_name == "CENTER_TEXT_OTHER" and type == text) then action_item = link action_name = "City Website" action_type = web_url switch(characters) case 'PARKERSBURG' ? action_spec = "http://www.parkersburg-wv.com/pages/splash.htm" action_range = element_range endswitch endif

  8. Intelligent PDF – Bookmarks If (level_name == "BOUNDARY_TEXT_DISTRICT_LARGE" and type == text) Then action_item = bookmark action_name = PLOT_NAME + "." + characters action_type = AREA_OF_INTEREST action_spec = "./Counties/" Endif Sample

  9. 3D PDF • Output design data to 3D PDF • Rotate and view animations • Use different lighting models • Define export area exactly by using clip volume • Use Bentley PDF driver and select Plot to 3D Sample

  10. Google Earth • Output design data to be overlayed on Google Earth • Select download for 2004 Edition, built into XM • Tools to synchronize MicroStation and Google Earth views • Define location by monuments or…

  11. Google Earth • Use MicroStation GeoGraphics or Geospatial Extension to define coordinate system for design data • Define export area exactly by using clip volume Sample

  12. Map Generation, Finishing, Publishing • New Geospatial products for map generation, finishing, and publishing • CADscript – established product since 1994 • Acquired by Bentley Systems – May 2006 • MAPscript – established product since 1999 • Acquired by Bentley Systems – May 2006
