Vector Map Management in the MicroStation CAD System

Abstract

Due to needs for the management of digital vector maps was created the Vector Manager application. This application increases possibilities and utilization of the basic core of MicroStation CAD System. The article shortly describes that part of internal graphic envi-ronment of the MicroStation, which is closely connected to the vector data management. In this context are introduced practical reasons formed arising of the application. The paper explained a way, how the application manages maps in the S-JTSK coordinate system. Vector Manager can be used as a supporting application for small GIS tasks.
