• Some components in the images on this page (providers, names, windows look, etc.) may be slightly different from those that will appear on your computer
• Some application functions need to access the Internet from the application itself. If you experiment problems in any process, ask your network administrator if there is a Proxy server installed on your network. You can configure the Proxy settings through the application options

GIS Analysis tools

Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD includes a set of advanced tools designed for geometric and spatial analysis of geographic objects and their geometric relationships, resulting in new objects generated from the resolution of such analysis

Note: The GIS Analysis tools were introduced in the version 7 of the application, so are not available for some old Autodesk products

Labeling objects data in the drawing

• About objects selection
  • Select all objects: all objects in the drawing will be labeled
  • Only selected objects: only a selection of objects will be labeled. You can select the objects before executing this command or by using the Selecting buttons in this window
    • Manual selection
    • Select by Query: select objects according to the result of a simplex or compound data query (See "Selecting by Query")
    • Select by Table: select objects which have been previously attached to a specific data table (See "Selecting by Table")
    • Note: As you can select the objects previously to execute this command, in addition to the use of the above included selection options or in combination with them, you can make use of some other Advanced selection application tools, select objects in the Data Grid or any other selection method available in AutoCAD (Quick Select, etc.). Also note that, as most of the advanced application or AutoCAD selection commands will let you apply the selection to the current selection, the number of possible combinations to select what you are interested in is almost unlimited
  • Select objects in a layer: only the objects included in an AutoCAD Layer will be labeled. You can select the layer using the drop-down list in this window
• The selection of objects in AutoCAD may be a few slower when the "SpatialManager" palette is open, depending on the data of the objects
