I'm going to be learning AutoCAD soon- as I've been told it's good to know (although I really know nothing about CAD beside its use in 3D modeling)- and found that they also make AutoCAD Map 3D. I guess that is a standalone application- correct me if I'm wrong.
Now, I've been actively using ArcGIS for about 5 months now, but haven't touched it's 3D analyst tool. I am sure that AutoCAD Map 3D is more technical and offers more flexibility than Arc's 3D analyst tool- but my question is how, and why would I use one over the other?
Thanks for helping out the new guy.
