Notes:

  • 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
  • Some geographic data providers (Geocode, image Maps, etc.) may need a user account, which you can configure in the Service Provider API Keys settings through the application options

Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD includes the Thematic Maps functionality, which allows to temporarily change the objects color in the drawing according to their associated alphanumeric data. You can define a new Thematic Map using the 'SPMTHEMATICMAP' command, whose window includes the definition of all the necessary parameters and options, as you can read below

In a drawing you can define as many Thematic Maps as you wish and activate or deactivate (return the display of objects to its normal state) the Maps or any of the Ranges. In addition, you can edit the colors and names of the Ranges, and the visual update of the objects is Dynamic, i.e. if data values are modified while a Thematic Map is active, the colors will automatically change to reflect the new values of the affected objects
