SPCAD For BricsCAD

SPCAD FOR BricsCAD

Introduction

SPCAD is a powerful CAD add-on designed to enhance the functionality of BricsCAD, offering a wide range of tools and features tailored to meet the needs of surveyors, engineers, and mapping professionals.

It enables professionals to import, analyze, and visualize spatial data with ease, bridging the gap between CAD and GIS. With its intuitive interface and robust capabilities, SPCAD streamlines workflows, boosts productivity, and facilitates the creation of precise and detailed designs.

SPCAD’s Functional Sections

1. File Import/Export

Seamlessly import/export various GIS and CAD-compatible formats, including KML, SHP, CSV, XYZ, GPX, GEOJSON, and LAS. Easily transfer data between CAD and GIS environments for better integration.

2. Coordinate Systems

Manage coordinate systems efficiently—assign, unassign, and display coordinate system details. Convert grid-to-ground coordinates, apply custom transformations, import Bing Maps imagery, and ensure precise raster georeferencing.

3. Cartography

Enhance map visualization with North Arrows, Scale Bars, Legends, and Symbols. Generate data-driven sheets for linear features and areas, making cartographic representation more intuitive.

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.
