Import options in GstarCAD

Name: Spatial Manager for GstarCAD
Author: Spatial Manager

Assign layers, label features, filter spatially, and control elevation

Assign a common layer or dynamically create new layers using field values from the incoming data. Label any type of object—points, lines, or polygons—by selecting a data field, and automatically apply label properties such as rotation or height from other fields. Use a spatial filter to import only the objects within the current view. You can also assign elevation and thickness based on attribute values.

Editions: Basic Standard Professional

What's included in the feature Import options

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

Basic target layer or new target layers using a field value

Define a common target layer or select a field from the incoming data source to take its values as the target layer for each new imported object.

Labeling objects while importing

Choose a data field to label any object: point type, linear type or polygonal type (centroids). Smart text location for the linear type objects. The properties for the new texts (rotation, height, etc.) can be taken from other data fields.

Spatial filter

Import only the objects in the current view.

Elevation and thickness from field values

Take field values from incoming data to set the elevation and/or thickness for the new objects.
