Convert data from AutoCAD Map object data
Convert AutoCAD Map object data to Extended Entity Data (EDD) and store it as Spatial Manager native tables. Then work directly with them or export to common GIS formats for broader use. Transfer your data and workflow to your preferred... more
Fields data calculator
Perform calculations on new or existing field values by applying a wide range of operators and functions, such as arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division), mathematical functions (square root, logarithms, trigonometric functions) and date manipulations. These expressions can incorporate constant... more
Locate addresses in a map (Direct geo-coding)
Direct geocoding is the process of converting an address or a place name into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude). This is typically done using a geocoding service or API which can interpret the provided address and return the corresponding coordinates.... more
Create polygons with holes or islands
In CAD, polygons are usually represented as closed polylines due to drafting processes. This may be a problem when representing, visualising or exporting to GIS formats (or even Google Earth). This post explains how to create polygons with holes, islands... more
Batch Import (OpenStreetMap sample)
The Tasks in Spatial Manager (AutoCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD or Desktop) allows you to save any import process and its parameters and have been designed to let you run, whenever you want, repetitive processes for import geo data. Since it is... more
Tip – WFS servers return GML data
WFS data servers provide the ability to access vector spatial information via a remote connection. Although you can use ‘Spatial Manager’ User Data Sources (UDS) to access this type of servers, it is interesting to know that these servers... more
