Application panel
The "Spatial Manager" panel includes the main functions of Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD. From here, you will be able to manage your data sources and launch your import processes. Like any AutoCAD panel, the "Spatial Manager" panel can be arranged, docked, undocked, grouped, self-collapsed, etc., and resized, depending on the preferences and needs of each user or each job, by dragging its title bar, double-clicking on its title bar, etc.
You can open this panel in AutoCAD by executing the command "SPM", and you can close it by executing the command "SPMCLOSE"
The "Spatial Manager" panel is split into two areas: the upper area is the "Data sources" area, and the lower area is the "Properties" area. Inside the panel, you can move the split line up or down to distribute the space for both areas as you need
Data sources area
In this area you can launch Import processes, create, edit or sort Shortcuts and User Data Sources (UDSs), etc.
Content varies depending on the selected data source
Properties area
In this area you can see information about any data source and, when you select an imported object in your drawing, you will see information about this object; if the object data has been imported, you will see here the object Extended Entity Data (EED) also
Wizards
The wizards are the interface layout chosen for the main Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD functions ("Create user data source" and "Import"). Using them you can go forward and backward through the options or parameters needed to complete a function or process
Selecting a provider in the "Create user data source" wizard
Setting up Import parameters in the "Import" Wizard
