Why Geo Folks Should Get Excited About Design Review 2008

Well, first it's free... but second, the 2008 version will support georeferencing. What means is that any Autodesk product that supports georeferencing (Map 3D, Civil, Land Desktop) can write out georeferenced DWF files. Those are then read into Design Review in those coordinates. There's a bottom display of the cursor coordinates in the native system or Lat/Lon (dec degrees or DMS).

The user can then use the redlining tools to mark up the DWF, "plop down" a point at keyed in coordinates and do real time tracking on the DWF with an external GPS.

Autodesk has made DWF and Design Review geo-friendly! Thank you!

Disclosure: Autodesk covered travel, lodging, food for me to attend World Press Day. I also received corporate gifts.
