Advanced Feature Placement and Editing
Bentley PowerMap is capable of many MicroStation-like features such as 2D and 3D design productivity innovations to create and maintain spatial data. Smart, quick drawing and editing of GIS features has never been easier. Features such as AccuDraw for dynamic control and input, and AccuSnap for intelligent and interactive snapping are available in Bentley PowerMap when creating geospatial objects. You also have raster management, printing, publishing, and much more! |

Oracle Spatial Editing
Oracle Spatial is fast becoming the standard method for organizations to store and manage very large volumes of spatial data. Bentley PowerMap can edit data directly in any standard Oracle Spatial environment employing a feature locking mechanism for multi-user environments. Organizations can also take advantage of Oracle versioning to manage conflicts in an extract, edit, and post to Oracle Spatial workflow enabled by the Bentley Geospatial Server. It's straightforward for Bentley PowerMap to maintain the topological relationships that may have been defined and stored in the Oracle Spatial database because Bentley PowerMap uses the native Oracle Spatial topology model. |

Topology Model and Maintenance
Topology can be created on-the-fly or on-demand in Bentley PowerMap. Topological relationships are stored in the DGN file according to the same model employed by Oracle Spatial. This lets complex analysis operations occur quickly and maintains compatibility with Oracle Spatial for organizations that choose to use Bentley PowerMap as an editing application for Oracle Spatial. |

Spatial Analysis and Presentation
Bentley PowerMap includes a full suite of spatial analysis and presentation capabilities. These include tools for creating buffers around objects, performing topology overlays, creating thematic maps, and more. The results of these analytical processes can be plotted, printed, or published to PDF. |

Map Projection and Coordinate Transformation
You can easily integrate data from a wide variety of sources into engineering and mapping workflows. Multiple data types with varying coordinate systems are transformed on-the-fly as they are integrated with Bentley PowerMap or bulk transformations between systems can be performed. Bentley PowerMap supports over 5500 projections and includes the ability to create user defined projections, defined via the Geospatial Administrator. |

Interoperability
Bentley PowerMap includes new tools to improve interoperability with other GIS formats. Directly reference ESRI SHP files, MapInfo TAB files, and others, or export your data into these formats for sharing with other groups on your project team.
The interoperability tools include a unique interface for defining import and export processes. Easily import single files or entire folders of data. The data is automatically projected into the coordinate system defined for your current map. Your project and mapping data can also be exported into these formats using the same tool with full support of attribute data and projection. |

XML Feature Modeling (XFM)
Bentley PowerMap takes full advantage of XML feature modeling. Through the Geospatial Administrator, XFM permits data creators to quickly define new features, properties, geometry type, symbology, and more. A feature-rich user-interface provides everything you need to construct new GIS or simply extend an existing GIS. |

|
Raster Data Support
Bentley PowerMap supports numerous image formats, including COT, CIT, RLE, JPEG, TIF, and GeoTIF. Raster images can be used as a base map for feature placement and editing. Complex and aesthetically appealing maps can be produced quickly and easily using Bentley PowerMap's raster data access. |
