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. The application offers many possibilities not seen so far in BricsCAD. It comes in a lightweight application that runs inside BricsCAD and allows the user to import/export geospatial data from/into spatial files, or spatial data servers, into/from BricsCAD drawings

Notes:

- The access to spatial data servers and stores is available on the "Standard" and "Professional" editions only

- The Export and the direct Import functions are available on the "Professional" edition only
