Benefits of the CART system:

• Eliminates the manual drafting component of CAD model creation.
• Allows confirmation of the collected information while still on site.
• Stores both graphic and textual data in a format that can be read by all computers and operating systems.
• Allows the generation of particular components of a model without having to load the whole drawing.
• Makes possible the collection of large amounts of data from a wide variety of data input sources.
• Creates a database, and from it a model, using any source of geographic coordinate information in any format.

Applications of the CART drawing generator include:

• Heritage Recording
• Facility Management
• Mapping
• from conventional surveying techniques
• from GPS data
• A database driven GIS
• CAD drawing translation.
