Introduction
Spatial Manager™ for BricsCAD is a powerful BricsCAD plug-in designed for BricsCAD users who need to import, export and manage spatial data in a simple, fast and inexpensive way, which includes many possibilities not seen so far in BricsCAD. It comes in a lightweight application that runs inside BricsCAD and allows the user to import and export geospatial data between BricsCAD drawings and geospatial files, data servers or data stores
Notes:
- The access to spatial data servers and stores is available on the "Standard" and "Professional" editions only
- The Export function is available on the "Professional" edition only
BricsCAD commands
This is the list of BricsCAD commands included in Spatial Manager™ for BricsCAD
- SPM (or SPATIALMANAGER): Palette. Opens and/or displays the application Palette
- SPMIMPORT (or SPATIALMANAGERIMPORT): Import. Directly Imports features from geospatial files or tables without using the application Palette
- SPMEXPORT (or SPATIALMANAGEREXPORT): Export. Exports BricsCAD entities into geospatial files or tables ("Professional" edition only)
- SPMCLOSE (or SPATIALMANAGERCLOSE): Close Palette. Closes the application Palette
- SPMHELP (or SPATIALMANAGERHELP): Help. Shows the application help (Wiki format)
- SPMABOUT (or SPATIALMANAGERABOUT): About. Shows basic information about the application and the installed release
- SPMUPDATE (or SPATIALMANAGERUPDATE): Update. Checks if there is a new application release to be downloaded from Internet
- SPMOPTIONS (or SPATIALMANAGEROPTIONS): Options. Set of parameters to configure the application (includes also the functionality of SPMUPDATE and SPMABOUT)
