Prior to the formation of The CEDRA Corporation in 1985, key staff of CEDRA have been providing private and municipal Surveyors and Civil Engineers, domestically and internationally, with state-of-the-art Design, Drafting and GIS related software for over 35 continuous years. In addition, The CEDRA Corporation offers a wide range of professional services including consulting, software support, training, data capture, utility model and database establishment, and application software development. CEDRA's technical staff can develop a tailored implementation plan that takes a client from the initial hardware and software installation phase through a detailed training program that enables the client to become productive quickly and easily. The CEDRA family, of powerful, easy-to-use software tools brings Civil Engineering design / analysis to your desktop. CEDRA provides software offering state-of-the-art technology to design, explore, query and analyze data within a self contained operating environment. CEDRA AVseriesTM software works directly with ESRI's geographic information system software (ARC/INFO,, ArcView, GIS, ArcGISTM),as well as with IBM's A&ES architectual / engineering software. No third party software are needed, but if desired, the CEDRA modules have the flexibility to communicate with other software (i.e. Autocad, MicroStation). CEDRA's stand-alone software integrates drafting and design that is production oriented and production proven. Comprised of CEDRA-SEATM, CEDRA-LANDTM, CEDRA-SANDTM and CEDRA-WATERTM, designers use CEDRA software for Surveying, Contouring, Traverse adjustment, Stakeout, Landfill, Mining, Road design, Site modeling, Sub-division, Earthwork computations, Sanitary, Storm and Combined sewer modeling and Water supply system modeling applications. In addition, special features are available for oil and other pipeline systems for modeling, drawing and management applications. Utilizing CEDRA-SEATM as the base graphics engine, CEDRA's stand-alone software allow the designer to operate in an integrated drafting and design environment without requiring any additional third-party software, yet having the ability to bi-directionally communicate and share data via standard drawing exchange formats. CEDRA's GIS related software, CEDRA-AVcadTM, CEDRA-AVcogoTM, CEDRA-AVparcelTM, CEDRA-AVlandTM, CEDRA-AVsandTM and CEDRA-AVwaterTM, constitute extensions to ArcView, GIS and ArcGIS,, the desktop GIS software of Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), that bridge Civil Engineering and GIS technologies. CEDRA-AVcadTM provides a suite of editing tools for creating and editing shapefiles in a CAD-like environment. CEDRA-AVcogoTM supplements CEDRA-AVcadTM with over 100 coordinate geometry commands lending it a powerful cogo module for engineering, surveying, mapping and related applications. CEDRA-AVparcelTM extends CEDRA-AVcadTM to the realm of topologic land parcel mapping with specificity to tax (cadastral) mapping. CEDRA-AVlandTM, CEDRA-AVsandTM and CEDRA-AVwaterTM software provide the ability to create mathematical models and facility databases for sewer, drainage, water distribution, traffic signs, street lights and other roadway appurtenances. The AVseriesTM suite of software provide the user the ability to tap into existing ARC/INFO, databases, extract model data (size, material, inverts, land use data, etc.), perform analyses and queries, and update the database. If a database is not available, CEDRA's AVseriesTM software possess the necessary tools to establish the database geometrically and/or tabularly. Furthermore, existing databases established with CEDRA's stand-alone software can be read directly by CEDRA's AVseriesTM software.
