Bentley Cadastre V8i

Extensive Sample XML Schemas and Data Sets

Bentley Cadastre includes extensive sample XML schemas for North America and Europe. These schemas are easily customizable using the Geospatial Administrator, which relies on Bentley's XML Feature Modeling (XFM) technology.  The schemas contain over 1000 features and include those commonly used in cadastral, topographical, base mapping, and other applications.  Bentley Cadastre is also delivered with sample data sets that allow you to quickly understand how the product works and evaluate your own feature modeling requirements.

Completely Customizable

Bentley Cadastre is completely customizable.  The data model can be developed to any level of detail or complexity through flexible feature modeling. The user can easily develop custom dialogs in association with custom XFM features.  Data integrity is preserved with logical business rules, such as customizable preset domain constraints, to enforce accuracy and dependability. Fully customizable annotation along with attribution constraints will ensure that the right data properties are captured and maintained, while automatically producing consistent and correct annotation.

Logical Business Rules

Bentley Cadastre allows you to define logical business rules that ensure the spatial and legal accuracy of land information.  The rules are applied during placement and editing operations in order to maintain data integrity. Bentley Cadastre also includes a robust set of configurable tools that aid in creating an accurate cadastral fabric from various data sources.

Oracle Spatial Editing

Oracle Spatial is fast becoming the standard method for organizations to store and manage very large volumes of spatial data.  Bentley Cadastre can edit data directly in any standard two-tier Oracle Spatial environment or extract, edit, and post to Oracle Spatial via the Bentley Geospatial Server in a three-tier architecture.  Bentley Cadastre’s topology model is based on the Oracle Spatial model and it can maintain the topological relationships in the Oracle Spatial database.

Dynamic Topology Editing

With Bentley Cadastre, you can split and merge parcels, modify the cadastral fabric, and develop easements and right-of-ways while topology is dynamically maintained. The model is persisted in the DGN while disconnected from the spatial database so that changes to the model are localized to the area of change, making the word dynamic true to its meaning. This design provides for automatic annotation and dynamic changes to graphical definition.

Integrated COGO Editor

Move COGO data directly into topology with the integrated COGO Editor. The COGO Editor provides a fast and accurate means of creating parcel data from the boundary descriptions recorded in official documents. When the metes and bounds of a parcel are entered into the COGO Editor, Bentley Cadastre saves the parcel geometry for insertion into the topology model with a single placement command complete with labels as pre-defined by the user. The COGO Editor also provides for on-screen digitizing and tools for maintaining, modifying and retrieving COGO data.

Automatic Attribution and Area Recalculation

With Bentley Cadastre’s intuitive tools, one stroke of the cursor can perform several operations including modifying the parcel edges, joining the parcel faces, updating parcel attributes and re-calculating the area and re-annotating the new parcel. Operations like this can take considerable time with a traditional CADsystems or GIS, particularly if the parcels were represented by disconnected polygons.

Measurement Tools and Linear Adjustment

Dynamically place points through radial or rectangular measurements from a user defined baseline or produce a list of radial or rectangular “Staking” measurements from a collection of graphically placed points as they relate to a user defined baseline. With Linear Adjustment, integrate inaccurate point data into the placement of a linearly adjusted boundary with weighted “confidence” variables applied to the point data.

Equal and Defined Area Split Parcel

With only a couple clicks of the mouse we can split a large parcel into several equal areas and produce the legal descriptions of the resultant parcels. To accomplish this through manual digital editing procedures could take hours. With Bentley Cadastre we can accomplish it in minutes.
