is an easy-to-use mapping package which lets you incorporate scanned topographic maps, air photos, and other bitmap images.
XYZ coordinates or survey data (bearings and distances) can be entered using the mouse or the keyboard, as well as imported from external files in either ASCII or DXF format.
One or more bitmap images can be displayed in the correct spatial position using the shift, stretch, and rotation functions; map features can be organized into layers; and areas, lengths, bearings, and grades can be displayed as labels or in a separate window.
You can manipulate points, lines, and arcs using the scaling, rotation, joining, reversing, breaking, densifying, and closing tools; define labels or automatic labeling of stations, distances, bearings, and so on, as well as line types and symbols.
Terrain Tools also supports opaque and transparent hatch types, and includes step-by-step examples in Microsoft Word 97 and PDF formats.
