Many AutoCAD users who handle geospatial information need to work with Esri Shapefiles (SHP), by downloading these files from the web or by collaborating with others GIS users, and their basic need is to import these kinds of files into AutoCAD by transforming the Shapefiles features into AutoCAD objects
In the same way as when you define the import processes, you will need to enter all the parameters to access the origin data table, the import process parameters, the coordinate system transformation parameters (if any), the name of the Task and a description of the Task (optional). All this data is saved into the "Task manager" as a new Task, until you want to delete it
spatial manager for autocad 18
February 28, 2014 - Release 0.9.7 (beta)The function to Import spatial data in AutoCAD is now defined using a direct command Assign Object properties in AutoCAD import process Import parameters depending on geometry types Defining Block Attributes for Point elements Importing alphanumeric data as Extended Data (EED / XDATA) Simple Extended Data (EED / XDATA) Viewer Application Commands are shown in application Setup Zoom Extension is performed in the drawing when any import process is finished Available updates are checked when running the application Assigning Attributes and other properties to the Blocks Object Properties are now shown in the Properties area Object selection data is now shown in the Properties area The "About..." window is now defined FDO data Provider is added to the list Now a small set of spatial files for sample purposes is included when you install the application Improved speed for read and write in the PostGIS provider The PostGIS provider now allows selection of the database to use in a dropdown The PostGIS provider now supports more data types Development of the SQLite provider Development of the OGR provider Some improvements made in the PostGIS provider New own icon is set for the OSM provider Now the user can set the timeout when connecting using the SQL Server Spatial provider Improved providers table (order, names and extensions) Added a new property to the providers to see if it is necessary to check its parameters Improvement in the performance of the tree in the OSM provider parameter window Now the user can set the WFS store version The FDO provider is normalized in terms of default names or types of icons The OGR provider is normalized in terms of the default names or types of icons Format 'Arc/Info .E00 (ASCII) Coverage' has been added to the OGR provider One area of transformation has been set by default to the Coordinate Transformation Now, when loading a KML/KMZ file, it can add a Field including information about the folder from each feature which is loaded Corrections of some bugs and other minor improvements
Issue: When re-opening, or exporting a drawing (2013 DWG) using the spatial manager, the geographic system that was applied to the drawing, using the GEOGRAPHICLOCATION command, is corrupted- resulting in the drawing being placed far from it's location, when it was created in ACAD Map 3D.
Thank you for your response Dave. I'm new to ACAD, so I'll have to familiarize myself with the "evil" commands. From my previous post: The MAPCSASSIGN command only sets the projection system of the drawings and doesn't inform where the drawing is to exist spatially. My drawing isn't intially set with any type of geographic reference. From a spatial persective, it exists nowhere, so before a projection sytem can be applicable, a geographic reference point must be given. This is typically provided by dropping a marker, of known coordinates, onto the drawing, at the exact desired location...then a projection sytem, working from this known marker point, will provide accurate coordinates across the entire drawing.
Google Earth is one of the most popular platforms for 2D and 3D visualization of spatial and geographic information, not only because it is free and very accessible to any non-expert user, but also because of the included tools and the frequency of updating the maps. It has become a tool that is used on a daily basis by any type of user and, even more so, by technicians involved in spatial information, who can use it to send the results of their work to clients in order to be visualized within a powerful free tool.
The National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) is a geospatial database that contains current effective flood hazard data. FEMA provides the flood hazard data to support the National Flood Insurance Program. You can use the information to better understand your level of flood risk and type of flooding. 2ff7e9595c
