- How do I use the different sets of data with AutoCAD?
For AutoCAD you will need the AutoCAD Map (3D) extension to read shapefiles, Please contact your AutoDesk reseller. For Help with AutoCAD Map, please contact Autodesk support or your reseller. The contour data is supplied in DXF format and can be imported via the "DXFIN" command. The orthophoto data is reported to be usable as a backdrop in versions of AutoCAD post R13 or R14 (it is unclear which) but it is unclear as to whether the geographic location information is used or if the end-user must place each tile manually, please contact Autodesk support or your reseller.
