Spatial Manager™ for BricsCAD is a powerful BricsCAD plug-in designed for BricsCAD users who need to import, export, transform and manage spatial data in a simple, fast and inexpensive way, which includes many functionalities not seen so far in BricsCAD

It comes in a lightweight application that runs inside BricsCAD and allows the user to import and export geospatial data between BricsCAD drawings and geospatial files, data servers or data stores, display background maps, manage alphanumeric data and data tables, create terrain models and contours, search for locations, transform coordinate systems, and many more geospatial functionalities

Key features


Import data

Imports spatial data, into new or existing BricsCAD drawings, as BricsCAD objects and Extended Entity Data (EED)


Export data

Export objects from BricsCAD to spatial files or databases, and saves their Extended Entity Data (EED) as alphanumeric data tables


Coordinates transformation
Updated V9

Calculate geometric transformations of the objects in the import and export processes in BricsCAD


Background maps
Updated V9

Choose in BricsCAD from among a lot of dynamic Backgrounds Maps from providers such as Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Bing, MapBox, Ordnance Survey, etc., configure your own maps from TMS, WMS or WMTS servers or connect to Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) type sources


Google Earth publication

Export all or part of the objects in the visible Layers from BricsCAD and their data to a KML or KMZ file


Thematic maps

Visualize objects coloring them depending on their field values in BricsCAD


Data management

Manage the alphanumeric data attached to the objects, design and edit the structure which will be used to store the data in BricsCAD


Data grid

The Data Grid palette in BricsCAD allows you to view, edit, etc. the objects data for any table in the drawing. You can also select objects from the Data Grid, export the data from the tables and more


Fields calculator

Calculate in BricsCAD simple or complex expressions using operators and functions that can be applied to field values in a table and/or to constant values


Spatial analysis

Perform spatial analysis operations in BricsCAD over the objects in the drawing generating new objects from such analysis


Drawing tools
New V9

Drawing tools for BricsCAD make your life easier by allowing you to perform actions directly on the drawing


Image tools
New V9

Spatial Manager™ for BricsCAD’s image tools allow you to efficiently manage work with raster images


Location tools

Location and geo-coding tools in BricsCAD help to add reference elements and enhanced data to existing objects


Google Street View integration

Google Street View dynamic image browser on any geo-referenced drawing or map in BricsCAD


Label objects
Updated V9

Label data values from tables attached to the objects as Texts in BricsCAD


Terrain wizard

Create Terrains and other related objects (3D Points, Contours, etc.) from 3D data or from Elevation services in BricsCAD


Import tasks

Save Tasks in BricsCAD to replay import processes (including all process parameters) so many times as desired
