SPCAD
Win64, EnglishGeneral Usage Instructions
Our comprehensive software package offers an extensive collection of over 150 meticulously designed tools that cater to the complex demands of various industries, notably including the Geospatial sector, urban developers, and engineering professionals. With a strong emphasis on data interoperability, our software allows users to seamlessly import and export crucial geospatial file formats, including shapefile, KML, KMZ, txt, and LAS, ensuring smooth data integration.
Additionally, our software facilitates the intricate process of transforming point data coordinates, enabling users to insert location-based QR codes into drawings and utilize a location-based callout tool that dynamically displays coordinates at the user's requested place on the drawing.
Our software also provides sets of tools that are valuable for spatial analysis, independent of the field, such as the shrinkwrap tool and the ability to draw convex hulls.
Moreover, for Geo-spatial experts, our software provides the unique feature of calling Bing Maps directly into the drawing environment, while allowing for a user-defined coordinate system to ensure seamless integration with their existing spatial data.
These capabilities, coupled with the software's ability to conduct comprehensive 3D surface assessments and create detailed TIN and contour analyses, provide a powerful suite of tools for spatial analysis and documentation.
Furthermore, our tools offer a streamlined platform for the insertion of intricate CAD map elements and the efficient generation of map atlases through data-driven pages.
For urban developers, our intuitive tools expedite the subdivision of land parcels, offering multiple precision-driven methods for seamless division, along with the capability to include annotations and simplified exports to various formats like KML. By seamlessly integrating into the existing workflows of Geospatial professionals and engineers, our software empowers users to enhance their efficiency and precision in a diverse range of specialized tasks, thereby fostering innovation and progress within their respective fields.
