GIS BASED SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS fromThe CEDRA Corporation

Corporate Overview

CEDRATM provides state-of-the-art softwarefor public works agencies, tax assessors, engi-neers, surveyors, utilities and others for query-ing, analyzing and maintaining geographic databases. CEDRA’s AVseriesTM suite of softwarework directly within ESRI’s GIS software(ArcView® GIS and ArcGIS® 9.x or 10.x), thuseliminating the need to switch back and forthbetween various software packages.

CEDRA’s AVseries software bridges engineer-ing and GIS by addressing a wide range of ap-plications including CAD, surveying, COGO,roadway and site design, tax mapping and landparcel management. CEDRA users can also cre-ate engineering databases of water distributionand sanitary/storm/combined sewer systems,and model them, and maintain them all withinany of the above referenced ESRI’s GIS soft-ware in a tightly integrated environment.

The CEDRA AVseries software provides inter-operability for small, medium and large munici-palities, and engineering design offices that wantto establish, explore, query, analyze and main-tain a central database which serves both thepublic works and GIS departments.

Since 1985, CEDRA has been located in up-state New York, and is an ESRI AuthorizedDeveloper and Reseller.

CAD Tools for ArcMap

CEDRA-AVcad™ is an extension to all ver-sions of ArcView GIS and ArcGIS. It pro-vides more than 100 menu, button and tool com-mands for creating and editing point, line,polyline, polygon and curve features, as well as

annotation features in a CAD like environment.Besides the wide range of geometric commands,one of the major strengths of this software is itsvarious abilities to generate and manipulate textstrings, and create in mass point, line curve andpolygon annotations.

Because of its robustness, CEDRA-AVcad™can be thought of as a “lite” COGO or ParcelMapping product. In addition to being a stand-alone extension, it is an integral component ofCEDRA-AVcogo™ and CEDRA-AVparcel™,which are described below.

COGO Tools for ArcMap

CEDRA-AVcogo™ is an extension to all ver-sions of ArcView GIS and ArcGIS, whichprovides all of the functionality of the CEDRA-AVcad™ and CEDRA-DataEditor™ exten-sions plus a multitude of additional geometriccommands to assist in the creation and editingof points, lines, curves and polygons, includingintersections, tangencies, projections, and othergeometric operations. In all, more than 150commands are available to the user for creatingand editing geometric and annotation features.

This extension is of particular interest to thoseinvolved in the building and maintenance of basemaps, in which geometric command flexibilityis desired in establishing precise geometric con-figurations of existing or new features, and tothose in general desiring an extensive suite ofcommands to solve geometric problems. A va-riety of built-in formats for the import of fieldsurvey and GPS observations make this exten-sion an indispensable tool in the building andmaintenance of infrastructure databases. A threedimensional database is supported.

Parcel Mapping and Maintenance

CEDRA-AVparcel™ is an extension to all ver-sions of ArcView GIS and ArcGIS, whichenables the user to create, edit and manage twoand three dimensional (high-rise condominiums)topological polygons of parcels for tax (cadas-tral) mapping, parcel maintenance and other ap-plications that involve the manipulation of poly-gons and/or boundary information. All function-ality of the CEDRA-AVcad™ and of theCEDRA-DataEditor™ extensions is included.

Roadway Design

CEDRA-AVland™ is an extension to all ver-sions of ArcView GIS and ArcGIS, whichprovides the engineer functionality to performsurveying, COGO, contouring, traverse adjust-ments, stakeout, road design, earth work, taxmapping and site modeling applications in anenvironment that integrates Civil Engineeringand GIS. CEDRA AVland offers the engineerthe ability to take a project from field collectionthrough design, drawing preparation, construc-tion and facility maintenance. Automatic lotsubdivision in accord with local zoning regula-tions is available. All functionality of theCEDRA-AVcad™ and CEDRA-DataEditor™extensions is included.

Sewer Modeling

CEDRA-AVsand™ is an extension to all ver-sions of ArcView GIS and ArcGIS. It enablesthe engineer to create the geometric model of astorm water, wastewater or combined system,impose associated loads, and model the flowperformance. Custom peaking factors to aver-age daily contributions may be applied. Open

channel and closed conduit flows may be com-puted, system adequacy determined, flowhydrographs generated, and stage-storage curvesdeveloped. Fully annotated sewer profiles canbe created. Over thirty built-in conduit shapesare available, as well as the ability to definecustom shapes. Static, dynamic, and backwa-ter analysis with one of the available modelers,CEDRA-AVsand™ or USEPA SWMM (Ver-sions 4.31 and 4.4h) can be performed. Afterperforming a dynamic analysis, the user is ableto generate a variety of time related graphs.

Water Distribution Modeling

CEDRA-AVwater™ is an extension to all ver-sions of ArcView GIS and ArcGIS. It enablesthe engineer to define the geometric configura-tion of a water distribution network, establishthe materials inventory, introduce supply anddemand loads, perform analyses and displaypertinent results in graphic and/or tabular for-mat. Storage tanks, pressure regulating, sustain-ing and open/close valves, pumps, meters, etc.can be included in the model. Static and Ex-tended Period Simulations with one of the avail-able modelers, EPANET™ (Versions 1 and 2),can be performed. The user also has the capa-bility to generate time related graphs (pressurevs. time, flow rate vs. time, velocity vs. time,etc.) as well as, fully annotated water profiles.

Data Entry and Maintenance

CEDRA-DataEditor™ is an extension to allversions of ArcView GIS and ArcGIS, whichfacilitates the editing of feature attribute data.It is an ideal tool for those involved with facil-ity maintenance and/or data capture applica-tions, or for those who wish to enhance thenative table editing functionality of ArcView.

The user creates an ASCII based file that con-tains the desired attribute labels and default val-ues or equations for each attribute within atheme to be edited. There is no limit to thenumber of attributes or themes that can be speci-fied. When the user selects a feature for editing,a customized dialog box is displayed with thespecified attribute labels and default values. Anattribute’s default value may be a specific value,or may be computed as the feature’s area orperimeter. Ranges of allowable numeric attributevalues, as well as, attribute drop-down lists maybe specified.

DXF Exporting

CEDRA-DxfExport™ is an extension to allversions of ArcView GIS and ArcGIS, whichenables the user to create an AutoCAD Draw-ing Interchange File (DXF file) for all visiblefeatures in the current map. Unlike other DXFexport utilities, which process only one theme(layer) at a time, the CEDRA-DxfExport soft-ware processes all visible themes (shapefiles,personal geodatabases, enterprise geodatabasesand coverages). In addition, the CEDRADxfExport software will process annotationfeatures and graphic text elements. As such, aDXF file created by CEDRA-DxfExport caninclude features and text.

In creating a DXF file, note the following:• If a theme has selected features then only

the selected features are processed, if thereare no selected features then all features inthe theme will be processed. If the optionExport Features displayed in the CurrentExtent is selected then all visible featuresin the current view will be exported.

• If there are selected MARKER, PEN,FILL and/or TEXT graphic elements thenthese graphic elements will be processed(if the user desires) and placed in separatelayers in the DXF file.

• The name of the theme will serve as thename of a layer in the DXF file.

• The user has the ability to select one ormore attributes from a theme for inclusionin the DXF file, if desired.

Avenue Wraps

Avenue Wraps is a book which a developer canuse in the migration of Avenue basedapplications to ArcGIS, be it the 8.x, 9.x or10.x environments. Additionally, the book isan ideal tool for developing brand newapplications within ArcGIS. Avenue Wrapsprovides a simplified approach to programmingwith ArcObjects™ and includes a CD withsample code and a Dynamically Linked Library(DLL), which the developer can utilizeimmediately. Efficient conversion of Avenuecode is achieved by providing a “one to one”mapping with the most popular Avenuerequests. More than 300 Avenue requests havebeen converted to ArcObjects. In so doing,Avenue developers can migrate and developsoftware in the ArcGIS environment using an“Avenue like” approach. Avenue Wrapsdiscusses a wide range of topics from VB/VBAsyntax differences to application deployment.Using Avenue Wraps can cut one’s conversioneffort by more than 70%.
