Creating thematic maps while importing

‘Spatial Manager’ (AutoCAD/BricsCAD/ZWCAD) provides a wide range of tools that allow you to stylize the imported graphic objects in order to quickly identify different events or conditions using different colors, symbols, patterns, etc. What is commonly known as a “Thematic Map”,... more


DroneDeploy integration

Drone technology allows for safe mapping of terrains and property, producing high-quality surveying results. Whether you are a surveying, land developer, construction engineer, or a full-service A&E firm, utilizing the drones for terrain captures can decrease project time, reduce... more


Spatial filter Views in PostGIS or SQL Server

While many ‘Spatial Manager’ users operate with spatial databases, such as PostGIS or SQL Server Spatial, very few know that database Views are processed in this application in the same way as database Tables. In the sample shown in this... more


Importing LiDAR data

LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) is a surveying method that measures distance to a target by illuminating the target with pulsed laser light and measuring the reflected pulses with a sensor. Differences in laser return times and wavelengths can then... more


Importing geo-referenced Raster Images

Raster geo-referenced image files are widely used by anyone working in GIS or Mapping environments because they can include orthophotos, scanned geographic areas or details, information overlays, etc. Although almost all CAD applications have tools for attaching raster images... more


Coordinate Systems and Transformations detailed info

An application whose primary focus is the spatial information handling (such as ‘Spatial Manager’), must include specific functionalities related to Coordinate Reference Systems (CRSs) and Transformations of geographic data (vector or raster) between different CRSs ... more
