Geoprocessing

The Adobe Illustrator environment offers lots of flexibility when working with vector art. To enhance Adobe Illustrator functionality, MAPublisher introduces many geometry operations designed specifically for cartographic purposes.

Create proximity around lines using the Buffer Art tool. Change the direction of lines using the Flip Lines tool; useful for road mapping applications. Easily join points, lines and areas to create seamless datasets. In addition, simplify art to reduce the number of vertex points, while retaining spatial referencing.
