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

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

Coordinates transformation Updated V9

Calculate geometric transformations of the objects in the import and export processes in AutoCAD

Background maps Updated V9

Choose in AutoCAD from among a lot of dynamic Backgrounds Maps from providers such as Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Bing, MapBox, Ordnance Survey, etc., configure your own maps from TMS, WMS or WMTS servers or connect to Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) type sources

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

Visualize objects coloring them depending on their field values in AutoCAD

Data management

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

Data grid

The Data Grid palette in AutoCAD allows you to view, edit, etc. the objects data for any table in the drawing. You can also select objects from the Data Grid, export the data from the tables and more

Fields calculator

Calculate in AutoCAD simple or complex expressions using operators and functions that can be applied to field values in a table and/or to constant values

Spatial analysis

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

Drawing tools New V9

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

Image tools New V9

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

Location tools

Location and geo-coding tools in AutoCAD help to add reference elements and enhanced data to existing objects

Google Street View integration

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

Label objects Updated V9

Label data values from tables attached to the objects as Texts in AutoCAD

Terrain wizard

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

Import tasks

Save Tasks in AutoCAD to replay import processes (including all process parameters) so many times as desired

Multi language

Available in English, German, Spanish, French, Russian and Portuguese

Perpetual license

Pay once, no periodic fees
