Optimized export in GstarCAD

Export with precision and flexibility, including direct format conversion

Exporting spatial data is made easier with automated geometric adjustments such as curve segmentation for polygonal formats and review of selected objects to match the target specification. Once the export is complete, you can open the file location or launch it in Google Earth if exporting to KML/KMZ. Use direct export to convert data between different geospatial formats and sources without needing to go through a drawing.

What's included in the feature Optimized export

Discover the full potential of this set of tools designed to enhance GIS data integration and editing within GstarCAD.

Automatic complex geometric operations

Review and editing of the selected objects in order to export geometries accommodated in the target format, such as the polygonal segmentation on curves if required.

Filtering of incompatible objects

There are a few object types not supported by the export processes (such as complex 3D objects), which are automatically filtered. The filter result is displayed before exporting.

Opening help

Upon completion of any export process to a file, the file location can be opened directly. When exporting to a KML or KMZ file it can be chosen to open the file in Google Earth (if installed).

Geospatial direct Exporting

This function allows direct conversion between different data providers formats and sources without the need to import/export into/from drawing.
