Convert height units when exporting to Google Earth and other formats

Height units remain unchanged when coordinate conversions are applied, but sometimes you need to change them, especially when the target format is limited to a specific unit. This happens with KML, where meters are mandatory. Available for AutoCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD... more


Export more 3D objects to Google Earth (KML/KMZ)

3D modeled objects are exported to Google Earth (KML/KMZ) in an easy and intuitive way. Different altitude and height modes are available depending on how the model has been created and how it needs to be represented (relative to ground,... more


Label using multiple fields and object properties

Spatial Manager allows you to create text labels in the drawing from selected objects on the drawing or map. One improvement in the latest versions is the option to create labels using multiple data fields and properties of the objects... more


Accessing user Datasets (NL PDOK sample)

In this post we will review the tools provided by ‘Spatial Manager’ for accessing geographic dataset services, both imagery and vector. This example will use some of the datasets provided by PDOK (Netherlands), where you can find open government data... more


Using custom Grid files

Many ‘Spatial Manager’ functions (Import, Export, Background Maps, etc.) can automatically perform a process of coordinates Transformation from the source to the target as part of the sequence executed by these functions. That means that the application will calculate a... more


Find objects that lie within a polygon - Overlays (3)

In this third example on spatial analysis using Overlays in ‘Spatial Manager’ we will apply the “Intersect” operator. This operator determines the geometries that overlap in the Source and Overlay object groups. Anything that does not overlap is discarded from... more
