Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD is a powerful AutoCAD plug-in designed for AutoCAD users who need to import, export, transform and manage spatial data in a simple, fast and inexpensive way, which includes many functionalities not seen so far in AutoCAD
It comes in a lightweight application that runs inside AutoCAD and allows the user to import and export geospatial data between AutoCAD drawings and geospatial files, data servers or data stores, display background maps, manage alphanumeric data and data tables, create terrain models and contours, search for locations, transform coordinate systems, and many more geospatial functionalities
Key features
Import data

Imports spatial data, into new or existing AutoCAD drawings, as AutoCAD objects and Extended Entity Data (EED/XDATA)
Export data Enhanced in V10

Export objects from AutoCAD to spatial files or databases, and saves their Extended Entity Data (EED/XDATA) as alphanumeric data tables
Coordinate management

Calculate coordinate transformations of the objects in the import and export processes in AutoCAD
Background maps Enhanced in V10

Choose in AutoCAD from among a lot of dynamic Backgrounds Maps from providers such as Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Bing, MapBox, Ordnance Survey, etc. or configure your own maps
Google Earth publication

Export all or part of the objects in the visible Layers from AutoCAD and their data to a KML or KMZ file
Thematic maps Enhanced in V10

Visualize objects coloring them depending on their field values in AutoCAD
Data management Enhanced in V10

Manage the alphanumeric data attached to the objects, design and edit the structure which will be used to store the data in AutoCAD
Spatial analysis

Perform spatial analysis operations in AutoCAD over the objects in the drawing generating new objects from such analysis
Drawing tools

Drawing tools for AutoCAD make your life easier by allowing you to perform actions directly on the drawing
Image tools

Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD's image tools allow you to efficiently manage work with raster images
Geometry tools New in V10

A suite of geometry tools for AutoCAD designed to edit, transform, and optimize a wide range of vector elements, including polylines, polygons, and other geometries
Location tools

Location and geo-coding tools in AutoCAD help to add reference elements and enhanced data to existing objects
Google Street View integration Enhanced in V10

Google Street View dynamic image browser on any geo-referenced drawing or map in AutoCAD
Terrain wizard

Create Terrains and other related objects (3D Points, Contours, etc.) from 3D data or from Elevation services in AutoCAD
Map Books New in V10

Create atlas-like layouts automatically within AutoCAD. Ideal for large areas, this feature helps you organize and print multi-page maps with consistent viewports, titles, and layouts
