GeoTools Commands

Draw Parcel Lots Tool: GT_LOTMAKER – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_LOTMAKER command in GeoTools is used to design and annotate parcel lots, providing a structured way to create lot boundaries, apply numbering, and generate dimension labels in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander. GeoTool -> Draw Tools -> Draw Tools -> Draw parcel-Lots Tool Key Features Include: Benefits: This tool is essential for urban planners, surveyors, and land developers, enabling efficient lot creation and annotation in CAD drawings.

Coordinates Table: GT_CoordsTable – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_CoordsTable command in GeoTools allows users to create a coordinates table listing the X, Y, and Z coordinates of selected points, polylines, or other geometric entities. This tool is particularly useful for surveying, site planning, and GIS workflows, where tabulated coordinate data is essential for documentation, reporting, and analysis. GeoTool -> Draw Tools -> Draw Tools -> Coordinates Table Key Features Include: Benefits: With GT_CoordsTable, users can efficiently document and manage coordinate data, ensuring accuracy in engineering, mapping, and CAD-based design workflows.

Draw Vegetation Cover Symbols: GT_VEGLINE – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_VEGLINE command in GeoTools creates vegetation cover line patterns using arced polylines, allowing users to define the size, shape, and pattern of arcs in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander. GeoTool -> Draw Tools -> Draw Tools -> Draw vegetation cover symbols Key Features Include: Benefits: This tool is useful for landscape design, environmental mapping, and topographical representation, ensuring an efficient and visually accurate depiction of vegetation cover in CAD drawings.

Draw Embankment Hatch Slopes Pattern: GT_EMBHATCH – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_EMBHATCH command in GeoTools creates a hatch pattern with alternating long and short lines to represent embankment slopes, ensuring accurate terrain visualization in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander. GeoTool -> Draw Tools -> Draw Tools -> Draw Embankment hatch slopes pattern Key Features Include: Benefits: This tool is essential for civil engineers, surveyors, and topographical drafters, providing a structured method for embankment slope representation in CAD drawings.

Easy 3dpoint: GT_EASY3DPOINT – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_EASY3DPOINT command in GeoTools provides an efficient way to create 3D point objects with user-defined elevation values at each point selection. Unlike the standard POINT command, this tool allows users to input the Z-elevation value dynamically while placing each point, making it an essential tool for surveying, terrain modeling, and 3D data collection. GeoTool -> Draw Tools -> Draw Tools -> Easy 3dpoint Key Features Include: Benefits: With GT_EASY3DPOINT, users can quickly and accurately place 3D points, streamlining elevation-based CAD design and GIS workflows.

Helix: GT_HELIX – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_HELIX command in GeoTools generates 3D helical curves based on customizable parameters, enabling precise spiral modeling in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander. GeoTool -> Draw Tools -> Draw Tools -> Helix Key Features Include: Benefits: This tool is useful for spring modeling, spiral ramps, threading, and complex 3D path generation, ensuring precise and customizable helical structures.

Draw a Polyline by Joining Points in Sorted Order: GT_SORTEDPOLY – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_SORTEDPOLY command in GeoTools creates a polyline by connecting selected points in a sorted sequence, based on user-defined sorting criteria in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander. GeoTool -> Draw Tools -> Draw Tools -> Draw a polyline by joining points in sorted order Draw a Polyline by Joining Points in Sorted Order: GT_SORTEDPOLY – GeoTools Command Draw a Polyline by Joining Points in Sorted Order: GT_SORTEDPOLY – GeoTools Command Key Features Include: Benefits: This tool is particularly useful for surveying, GIS applications, and topographical modeling, where points need to be connected logically to form structured polylines.

Draw Polygons (for Mapping, GIS): GT_DrawGISPolygon – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_DrawGISPolygon command in GeoTools allows users to draw precise GIS-compatible polygons for mapping, land surveying, and geospatial applications. This tool is essential for GIS professionals, urban planners, and cartographers, enabling the creation of accurate polygonal boundaries for spatial data representation. GeoTool -> Draw Tools -> Draw Tools -> Draw polygons (for mapping, GIS) Key Features Include: Benefits: With GT_DrawGISPolygon, users can efficiently digitize and map geospatial boundaries, ensuring high precision and compatibility in CAD-based GIS workflows.

Import Image(s) as OLE Objects: GT_INSOLE – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_INSOLE command in GeoTools allows users to import images as OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) objects, embedding them directly into CAD drawings. This tool is particularly useful for attaching reference images, logos, scanned documents, or diagrams that need to be part of the drawing without relying on external image links. GeoTool -> Export Tools -> Export Tools -> Import image(s) as OLE objects Key Features Include: Benefits: With GT_INSOLE, users can effortlessly integrate images into their CAD drawings, improving documentation, presentation, and workflow efficiency.

Import Single GML Feature from File: GT_READGMLFEATURES – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_READGMLFEATURES command in GeoTools imports GML (Geography Markup Language) features into CAD by reading splitted GML files generated by the GT_EXTRACTGMLFEATURES command. It creates point, line, and polygon objects while attaching attribute data as XData in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander. GeoTool -> Export Tools -> Export Tools -> Import single GML feature from file Import single GML feature from file: GT_READGMLFEATURES – GeoTools Command Key Features Include: Benefits: This tool is essential for GIS professionals, urban planners, and surveyors who need to integrate geospatial data into CAD environments efficiently.
