2. User-friendly, single application interface facilitates ease of use and training 
3. Publishing tools make it easier to plot, create PDFs, etc. 
4. One-stop support 
5. CAD, road, site, GIS, mapping, storm, survey, and bridge layout in an all-in-one application 
6. Built-in rendering and visualization

Bonus Reason to Upgrade to Power InRoads from InRoads on AutoCAD - Performance

• Display triangles three times faster and for the new mesh object, it’s seven times faster 
• Display contours twice as fast 
• Display slope vectors almost six times faster 
• Display horizontal alignments 18 times faster 
• Write survey graphics 2.5 times faster 
• Create over 300 cross sections three times faster

Performance tests were conducted on Power InRoads V8i (SELECTseries 2) versus InRoads V8i (SELECTseries 2) on AutoCAD 2011. Tests were based on a user data set containing:

• DTM – 294824 triangles, 47.4 MB in size 
• ALG – 457 survey alignments, 2.24 MB in size 
• FWD – 7820 observations
