We are excited to announce the release of AutoCAD® Map 3D 2013. Firstly, one of the most exciting changes with this release is that ALL of the AutoCAD Map 3D Enterprise functionality is now simply part of AutoCAD Map 3D 2013. This new offering delivers all of the benefits of AutoCAD Map 3D Enterprise, including as well as all of the former Autodesk® Topobase™ Client functionality, in a single offering. Moreover, this release includes improved capabilities to access and edit data from more sources, new tools for public review of information, offline editing and much more.
