Import New Zealand Land Information in DWG
Download and import official Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) data into a DWG using Spatial Manager, either through open services (WFS / OGC API Features) or distributed files (SHP, GeoJSON, etc.). Set the proper CRS (usually NZGD2000 / New Zealand... more
New Zealand Land Information Background Maps in DWG
View detailed, high-resolution LINZ background maps directly in your DWG through WMTS services–no prior tile download required. Spatial Manager connects to the LINZ WMTS endpoint, requests only the tiles needed for the current view, and transparently reprojects them to the... more
Import Z-Coordinate SHP as 3D Polylines
The shape type PolylineZ of a Shapefile (SHP) contains a different Z coordinate value for each polyline vertex. Import them as 3D polylines to preserve the details of the represented geometries.Available for AutoCAD, BricsCAD,
Shapefiles (SHP) Multi-class export
Shapefiles (SHP), despite being a standard in GIS, are files with a simple structure that do not support different types of graphic objects in a single file. This requires multiple export processes when you want to export Points, Lines, Polygons,... more
Managing Multi-Polygons in AutoCAD, BricsCAD or ZWCAD
A problem that the spatial information users face when working in CAD applications is importing and handling Polygons that contain multiple rings and/or holes (Multi-Polygons or MPolygons). But these applications include a very standard object type (HATCH) that will... more
Import Z-Contours from a Shapefile into AutoCAD
When reading Shapefiles (SHP) which include terrain Contour lines, it is very common to find that the Z coordinate of each Contour is set as being a numerical data in a Field of the associated data table Object Elevations... more
