Vosselaar – Belgium, March 30, 2006.

Pythagoras GIS+CAD is a new product from ADW Software. Its graphical interface is based on Pythagoras, the known software for surveying and civil engineering applications. The new software is dedicated to the implementation of Geographical Information Systems.

Pythagoras GIS+CAD has been designed for local authorities, cadastral services, utility companies, urban planning and for scientific research. Its application is to analyse and visualise spatial information, without being limited to geographical objects only.

Only one software application should be used to complete the whole process : (1) creating and updating geographical information, (2) consulting and updating of spatial information, (3) analysing of spatial information and (4) reporting and mapping of the analysis.

User defined line styles, symbols and hatchings allow displaying thematic maps in an easy way. Multiple thematic maps can be combined to ease up a visual analysis. Unique in Pythagoras GIS+CAD are the multiple search engines combining expressions based on database attributes and graphical attributes of a drawing or project.

Automatic legend creation and the use of view ports make your thematic maps complete and offer a tool to visualise your projects.

Even occasional users will be happy to explore the standard built in possibilities like : a powerful search engine, reporting and mail merge. All of them are easy to use and powerful.

However, Pythagoras GIS+CAD is an open application. Pythagoras VBA and the Pythagoras Object Model allow users to develop their own applications. Own data sheets, different access rights on internal or external databases, access to an external database via ODBC, specific reporting, mail merge, real-time data collection (e.g. from a hand held GPS),… are just some examples.

Pythagoras GIS+CAD is bridging the gap between traditional CAD systems and known GIS systems.
