Overview

The ultimate spatial data creation, maintenance and editing tool

Cadcorp SIS Map Editor is the professional GIS package for the experienced user, operating independently, or within a departmental or enterprise-wide framework.

The Map Editor builds upon the GIS functionality available within the Cadcorp SIS Map Manager to include advanced geometric construction and editing, topology, and links to relational database management systems.

Data access
Map Editor supports over 160 GIS and data sources. For further information see supported data sources

The Cadcorp SIS Base DataSet format (.bds) allows the combination of all geometric features within a single file.

The Cadcorp SIS Shared DataSet format (.sds) allows the combination of all geometric features within a single file and allows multi-user editing.

Users can combine diverse datasets in multiple projections and create new composite views without modifying the original underlying data.

In addition to file-based GIS data storage formats, several large data storage solutions are included.

GIS with advanced geometric editing – not CAD software with add-ons! Unlike rival software in its class, Map Editor was built from the ground up as GIS software. Map Editor offers a working GIS environment with 64 bit high precision data storage, plus advanced tools for geometric editing. In particular, Map Editor provides the user with tools appropriate to mapping, all of which are available from pull-down menus and tool palettes.

Map presentation
Map Editor can display maps at any scale and provides a comprehensive range of pan, zoom and view commands for easy map navigation. Map Editor features special Cadcorp SIS tools; the Roamer (a powerful magnifying glass) and Continuous Panning for swift, smooth rolling pan across base maps.

Queries
A query builder allows the user to build a query by picking items from a list. Experienced users can create complex, nested formulae for advanced analysis.

Output
Map Editor includes the Cadcorp SIS 'Print wizard', providing users with unrivalled plot creation capabilities and the production of exactly the map you want.

Map Editor is fully integrated with Microsoft Windows environment, allowing the linking and embedding of maps in MS Windows documents.
