SPCAD FOR BricsCAD

Introduction

Transform your BricsCAD experience with SPCAD, the essential add-on meticulously crafted for surveyors, engineers, and mapping professionals. It powerfully bridges the CAD and GIS divide through an extensive suite of over 150 specialized tools. These tools integrate diverse import/export capabilities and manage over 4500 coordinate systems with ease.

Featuring advanced functions for cartography, topography, cadastral mapping, analysis, and geometry, SPCAD streamlines complex tasks. This comprehensive functionality, coupled with multilingual options, dramatically boosts productivity. You can achieve precise, detailed designs effortlessly, all within its intuitive interface.

SPCAD’s Functional Sections

1. File Import/Export

SPCAD makes it super easy to move your design data around. You can seamlessly import and export tons of different file types, including KML, SHP, CSV, XYZ, GPX, GEOJSON, LAS, and now, even GML. This means you can effortlessly shift important spatial information between your CAD and GIS programs, making sure everything works together smoothly.

2. Coordinate Systems

SPCAD makes managing your coordinate systems straightforward. You can easily assign, unassign, and view all the details for any system you’re working with. It’s simple to convert grid-to-ground coordinates or set up your own custom transformations. Now, you can also import OSM vector data, bring in web map tiles from Esri and other trusted sources, and work with .geprint files. Plus, use your geotagged Exif images and even mosaic multiple images together, all while ensuring your raster data is perfectly placed with precise georeferencing.

3. Cartography

Enhance map visualization with SPCAD’s map elements, cartographic grids, and dynamic labels, including polyline tables. Generate powerful, automated Atlases and data-driven sheets for intuitive cartographic representation. Produce professional maps effortlessly.

4. Topography

Create and analyze terrain models effortlessly with tools for generating TIN surfaces, merging them, and defining contour lines and elevation points. Perform quick analysis by extracting rapid cross-sections, contours, and longitudinal profiles while calculating area-capacity curves and surface volume. Seamlessly import and export DEM and LandXML files, manage surfaces with TIN Manager, and compare TINs with precision.

5. Analysis

Execute advanced spatial analysis by creating buffers around points, lines, and polygons, cutting and merging polygons, and generating new features from spatial data. Create Voronoi polygons, clip drawings, and generate boundaries around points.

6. Geometry

Simplify geometry tasks with tools to create right-angled triangles, rectangles, and angle bisectors. Easily transform 2D polylines into 3D, minimize polyline nodes, trace lines, and generate polygons from intersecting lines and arcs for a smoother workflow.

7. Cadaster

Manage land parcels efficiently with the Parcel Manager. Perform lot subdivisions, define boundaries, add labels, and organize cadastral data for precise land management.

8. SPCAD

Access essential functions such as Online Help, Language Switching, License Management, and Software Updates to keep SPCAD up to date and customized for your needs.
