GeoPackage is an open, standards-based, platform-independent, portable, self-describing and compact format for the transfer of geospatial information. A new data provider that allows you to read GeoPackage files has recently been added in ‘Spatial Manager’ (CAD and Desktop versions)

The GeoPackage Encoding Standard describes a set of conventions for storing geospatial data within an SQLite database, and governs the rules and requirements of content stored in a GeoPackage container. It includes table definitions, integrity assertions, format limitations, and content constraints
New GeoPackage 'Spatial Manager' data provider
The new GeoPackage ‘Spatial Manager’ data provider will allow you to import into your drawings (AutoCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD) or load/import into your SPM maps (Desktop) graphic elements and attached data tables directly from GeoPackage files (*.gpkg) or by defining a SPM User Data Source that will enable you to save some parameters such as the database password (if any)
