Summary
The GT_MapSheetPlace command in GeoTools enables users to automatically position map sheets along a selected linear geometry, such as a road, pipeline, or river corridor. This tool is particularly useful for surveying, infrastructure planning, and GIS-based mapping, where multiple sectional drawings need to be arranged systematically along a path.

Key Features Include:
- Aligns map sheets along a selected linear feature (road centerline, pipeline, etc.).
- Works seamlessly in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander.
- Supports custom sheet spacing and orientation settings, ensuring optimal placement.
- Ideal for corridor mapping, highway design, and large-scale GIS documentation.
- Works in conjunction with GT_MAPSHEETMAKER and GT_MAPSHEETLAYOUTS for a complete mapping workflow.
- Reduces manual effort by automatically adjusting and placing sheets based on the given geometry.
Benefits:
With GT_MapSheetPlace, users can quickly arrange map sheets along a path, ensuring organized, efficient, and precise documentation for large-scale engineering and GIS projects.
