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

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.



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.





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.




Topography

SPCAD makes terrain modeling incredibly easy. Manage points with the Point Group Manager and create/handle surfaces with the TIN Manager, supporting formats like DEMs and LandXML. Quickly generate cross-sections, profiles, contours, calculate volumes, and compare TINs for precise, effortless terrain analysis.




Analysis

SPCAD truly empowers advanced spatial analysis. Go beyond basic with versatile Point, Line, and Polygon Buffer tools, plus specialized Double and 3D Polyline Offset functions. Easily cut, merge, or generate Voronoi polygons, and clip drawings. Create new features from your data using Convex Hull, Shrinkwrap, Line/Polygon from Points, or Split Polylines. Even count Lines and Blocks, and Break Text for deeper, precise insights from your spatial data.



Geometry

SPCAD simplifies all your geometry tasks. You can easily create basic features like triangles and rectangles, or use powerful polyline tools to convert 2D to 3D, minimize nodes, and trace lines. Advanced functions like inserting vertices, complementing arcs, DogBone, Best Fit Polyline, straightening, Break Distance, Mark Centerline, and Interpolate 3D Polyline ensure a smoother, more precise workflow.

Cadaster

SPCAD significantly enhances land management and cadastral workflows. Through its powerful Parcel Manager , you can effortlessly Construct Parcels, perform detailed Lot Division (including Quick Division), and Annotate Parcels with ease. Seamlessly Export Parcels to various formats, ensuring highly efficient and precise handling of all your cadastral data.
