Traverse PC Universal Map Sharing - UMS

Share Your Maps Like Never Before!

Universal Map Sharing, or just plain UMS™ is an integral part of Traverse PC.  Export your drawings to one of the industry standard formats like DWG (AutoCAD), DGN (MicroStation), PDF (Adobe) and EMF (Windows Meta File).  Or choose a standard graphics file format like JPG, GIF or TIF.  Share your maps with virtually anyone, anytime, using virtually any software - Think of the possibilities...

Example 1 - Work in TPC Desktop...   Traverse PC directly supports all windows printers and plotters.  You print your drawing right out of the Quick View.  And because you are always working right on the page inside Quick View, your printed drawing always matches the screen - perfectly. Once you use TPC for your first drawing, we think you'll start using it for all your drawings. Quick View takes all the busy work out of drafting and makes it fun again.     Example 2 - Export to AutoCAD...   Here is the same drawing exported AutoCAD LT 2005.  Notice how the line types, fonts, blocks, vicinity map - everything - comes into AutoCAD looking just like it did in TPC. TPC desktop supports AutoCAD formats R9 - R2006. You can also choose from DWG, DXF or Binary DXF. And TPC doesn't just send AutoCAD a pretty picture. You get layers, blocks and entities that AutoCAD can use. If fact, who can tell you didn't generate the drawing in AutoCAD yourself?       Example 3  - Export to MicroStation   Here is the same drawing, exported as a MicroStation DGN file.  TPC supports both V7 and V8 DGN formats.  TPC writes MicroStation levels, cells and objects to the DGN file just like MicroStation does.     Example 4  - Saved as a PDF File   Adobe's PDF (Portable Document Format) files have become the de-facto standard for exchanging drawings worldwide.  The nice thing about PDF file, besides how small they are, is that millions of computer users can read them with FREE PDF viewers like Adobe's Acrobat Reader. They don't even need Windows since PDF viewers are available on Macs, Unix and other operating systems. Your clients will appreciate getting a copy of their survey in a PDF file. And since PDF files are vector files (drawing commands), your client can print your 24"x36" map on their 8.5"x11" printer and it will look just great.     Example 5  -  Saved as an .EMF file - viewed in Windows...   Here the drawing is again.  We exported the EMF file from the Quick View and opened it in Microsoft Office Picture Manager.  You could also open it in Windows XP Viewer or just about any other PC graphics software.  Like PDF files, meta files contain drawing commands. As a result, you can print the drawing at any size you want and it will look great.
