| Import |
 |
|
Introduction: |
Import major formats produced by ESRI, civil applications and government agencies. This tool allows you to select multiple files, specify a coordinate window, and quickly import mapping information directly into your CAD drawing. Our Import tool has been tested with massive files, including a 3GB SHP/DBF from a major city.
|
| |
|
Project: |
The import tool can do a coordinate projection during import. Simply assign source systems for each file (some autodetected) and a target system. |

| Library |
 |
|
Manager: |
A tool for managing both the symbols provided in MapWorks and your own user symbols.
| Scale Previews: |
You can assign a scale factor from 10% to 200% to resize the DWG preview bitmaps. |
| Click Details: |
A single click gives you operating system file details along with properties embedded in the drawing, as accessed from the DWGPROPS command. |
|
| |
|
Symbols: |

| |
|
Alt Coords: |

| Set System: |
Sets the system code for the alternate coordinate system. |
| Entry: |
Enter an alternate coordinate any time Bricscad is prompting for a point using the transparent 'AC command. |
| Label Add: |
Add an alternative coordinate label at multiple pick points. |
|
 |
|

 |
|
Set: |
Sets the coordinate system for current drawing with optional zoom to system extents. This information is saved inside the drawing. |
 |
|
