Spatial Manager™ 2014 for AutoCAD preview screen

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, and that includes a lot of possibilities not seen so far in AutoCAD. It comes to 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, and includes the following most important features:


  • Import in AutoCAD drawings directly from: spatial data files (SHP, GPX, KML, OSM, MIF/MID, TAB, E00, SDF, ASCII points, ...), spatial database servers or data stores (SQL Server Spatial, PostGIS, WFS, ...), spatial ODBC points or WKB connections (Excel, Access, dBase...), and more
  • Objects imported into a new or open drawing
  • Select the target layer when importing or select a field value to create new layers
  • 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
  • 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, AutoCAD Architecture - v.2008 to v.2014
