MAY15 – New releases. The powerful “Tasks” come in

The new version (2.2.0) of the Spatial Manager™ products has been released today, and it comes full of interesting innovations. Try it or update your applications

MAY15 – New releases. “TASKS” technology and many more

The “Tasks” technology, already included in Spatial Manager Desktop™, has now been built into Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD and Spatial Manager™ for BricsCAD. A “Task” is the way you can save any import process and its parameters

Many times the processes of importing tables from files, servers or data stores into your drawings are executed on a regular basis and sometimes these processes require the introduction of several more or less complex parameters of the data source and of the importing process itself, defining a coordinate transformation between the origin and target (drawing), etc.

Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD and Spatial Manager™ for BricsCAD brings to you the concept of “Task”, which allows you to store all needed operations and parameters for any import process of spatial information. Once this data is saved as a “Task”, you can then run it from the “Task Manager” whenever you need

· You can access “Tasks” through the “Task manager” panel in the “SpatialManager” palette

· Create new “Tasks” using the well-known import wizard. You do not need to learn new functions

· Execute one or more “Tasks” by selecting them in the “Task manager” using the CTRL and/or SHIFT keys and execute them. They will run one by one and import all the incoming objects in the current drawing

· Sort by source, rename or delete “Tasks”

Note: Tasks are available on the “Professional” editions only
