Introduction

Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD is an awesome AutoCAD plug-in designed for AutoCAD users who need to import and manage spatial data in a simple, fast and inexpensive way, that includes many possibilities not seen so far in AutoCAD. It comes in a lightweight application that runs inside AutoCAD and that allows the user to import geospatial data from spatial files, or spatial data servers, into AutoCAD drawings

AutoCAD commands

This is the list of AutoCAD commands included in Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD

SPM (or SPATIALMANAGER): opens the Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD panel
SPMCLOSE (or SPATIALMANAGERCLOSE): closes the Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD panel
SPMABOUT (or SPATIALMANAGERABOUT): shows information about Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD
OPTIONS (AutoCAD native command): includes a new "Spatial Manager" tab to configure Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD

Main features

Import spatial data in AutoCAD drawings directly from ( see current available Providers ):
- Spatial data files (SHP, GPX, KML, OSM, MIF/MID, TAB, E00, SQLite, ASCII points, ...)
- Spatial database servers or data stores (SQL Server Spatial, PostGIS, WFS, ...)
- Spatial ODBC points or WKB connections (Excel, Access, dBase...)
Objects imported into a new or open drawing
Select the target layer when importing or choose creating new layers using a field value
Transform geometries using your favorite coordinate systems
Import data from tables as Extended Entity Data (EED)
Extended Entity Data (EED) viewer panel
Customize imported objects or improve graphic information using blocks, fills and transparencies, centroids, and more
Manage your own shortcuts and data sources
Data sources properties panel
All main functions included in a handy AutoCAD panel
Runs in AutoCAD, AutoCAD Map 3D, AutoCAD Civil 3D, etc. ( see current Compatible AutoCAD applications )
Incorporates the same import engine and the same internal structure as Spatial Manager Desktop™ and therefore, it uses its own data Providers
