Imports spatial data, into new or existing BricsCAD drawings, as BricsCAD objects and Extended Entity Data (EED)
Spatial Manager™ for BricsCAD imports spatial data, into new or existing BricsCAD drawings, as BricsCAD objects and Extended Entity Data (EED), using a powerful wizard which lets the user choose or select all the necessary import parameters in order to get differentiated spatial information in a CAD drawing.
Batch-import, automatic layering, fill of polygons, blocks according data values and mapped attributes, labeling, elevation, thickness or the spatial filters are only part of the application functionality when importing from spatial files, data servers, data stores, etc. (Data Providers list)
Export objects from BricsCAD to spatial files or databases, and saves their Extended Entity Data (EED) as alphanumeric data tables
Spatial Manager™ for BricsCAD exports objects from the drawing to spatial files or databases, and saves their Extended Entity Data (EED) as alphanumeric data tables using a wizard, which shares some of the steps with the import wizard. In the same way, the user can choose or select the export parameters to define all the target data among a great number of possibilities.
There are options to export the Coordinates, Length or Area, the objects Layer, Handle and Elevation, the Attributes and the name of the Block references and their properties, the Texts and their properties, etc. The objects will be automatically filtered when exporting, and all the geometric operations needed to fit the target data format (such as segmenting curved objects) are automatically performed.
Calculate coordinate transformations of the objects in the import and export processes in BricsCAD
Spatial Manager™ for BricsCAD will calculate geometric transformations of the objects in the import and export processes, which will depend on the chosen Coordinate System (CRS) for the source and target data.
The user can choose the appropriate CRSs from a complete CRS catalog or from a list which includes the most recent used CRSs.
Choose in BricsCAD from among a lot of dynamic Backgrounds Maps from providers such as Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Bing, MapBox, Ordnance Survey, etc. or configure your own maps
Spatial Manager™ for BricsCAD allows to the BricsCAD users choose from among a lot of dynamic Backgrounds Maps from many providers such as Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Bing, MapBox, Ordnance Survey, etc., customized maps from TMS, WMS/OGC API Maps or WMTS/OGC API Tiles servers or connections to Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG TIFF) type origins. These maps will enhance the drawings quality and will let the users compare and check better.
The map images are automatically updated when the drawing view changes (zoom, pan, etc.) and the images resolution is automatically adapted to the view size. The user can take static geo-referenced Snapshots of the Maps.
Export all or part of the objects in the visible Layers from BricsCAD and their data to a KML or KMZ file
Spatial Manager™ for BricsCAD includes a specific command designed to Export all or part of the objects in the visible Layers of the drawing and their data, to a KML or KMZ file (Google Earth) through a one-click operation.
The current Layers organization and the properties of the Layers and objects are considered when creating the resulting GE file, and this file can be opened directly in Google Earth (if installed).
Visualize objects coloring them depending on their field values in BricsCAD
Different types of thematics can be created by fixed field values (categorized) or by ranges (graduated).
Select one among the predefined color styles, modify it, or create your own custom one. Fill closed objects automatically for an enhanced visualization.
Manage the alphanumeric data attached to the objects, design and edit the structure which will be used to store the data in BricsCAD
Spatial Manager™ for BricsCAD will manage the alphanumeric data which may come attached to the objects in the import processes themselves but the users can also design and edit the structure which will be used to store the data. They can manage the tables and the fields according to their own needs.
In addition, the data values can be modified in the palette of the application and there are commands to select objects by Queries or according to the table that they are attached. As a plus, the application also provides a command that allows Zooming to the selected objects.
Perform spatial analysis operations in BricsCAD over the objects in the drawing generating new objects from such analysis
Spatial Manager™ for BricsCAD provides a comprehensive set of tools to perform spatial analysis operations with the vector entities in the drawing and their attached data, resulting in new objects generated by the resolution of such operations.
Spatial analysis operations can be performed on a combination of tables, layers or drawing objects previously selected by interacting with on-screen elements or by using the application's advanced selection queries.
Drawing tools for BricsCAD make your life easier by allowing you to perform actions directly on the drawing
Such actions can be label object data as texts, intelligent view changes and advanced selection of drawing objects.
Spatial Manager™ for BricsCAD's image tools allow you to efficiently manage work with raster images
You will be able to import and export raster images, generate georeferenced files of the images and load photographs by locating them on the map with the GPS information contained in them.
A suite of geometry tools for BricsCAD designed to edit, transform, and optimize a wide range of vector elements, including polylines, polygons, and other geometries
These tools enable advanced spatial operations such as simplifying shapes, generating polygons from point sets, joining or splitting elements, and converting between geometry types.
Location and geo-coding tools in BricsCAD help to add reference elements and enhanced data to existing objects
Get locations from unreferenced addresses or add data to existing objects.
Built in Bing, Google and OpenStreetMap data providers offer wide range of data access.
Google Street View dynamic image browser on any geo-referenced drawing or map in BricsCAD
Use the 'Street View' palette in order to view and navigate Street View images by selecting a drawing point for which such images exist.
When you execute the 'SPMSTREETVIEW' command, a map of streets and roads for which Street View images are available is displayed on the screen and superimposed on the drawing (blue color). This map is automatically regenerated when the drawing view changes (Pan, Zoom, etc.).
Create Terrains and other related objects (3D Points, Contours, etc.) from 3D data or from Elevation services in BricsCAD
The Spatial Manager™ for BricsCAD Terrain wizard allows to the BricsCAD users create Terrains and other related objects (3D Points, Contours, etc.) from 3D data (Points, Meshes, etc.) or from online Elevation services.
Customize Contours (2D or 3D, parametric Labeling, etc.), choose advanced options in the 3D creation processes, etc.
Create atlas-like layouts automatically within BricsCAD. Ideal for large areas, this feature helps you organize and print multi-page maps with consistent viewports, titles, and layouts
Use a customizable grid to divide selected objects or areas into structured sections. This grid forms the basis for generating Map Books, ensuring clarity and consistency across your entire map series.
