Highlights
Polylines & annotation
GeoTools provides powerful functions for labelling and annotating polylines precisely. Segment lengths, bearings, angles or vertices – all values can be placed flexibly and customised individually.
Map data cleanup
GeoTools offers powerful tools for cleaning up and optimising linear and polygonal networks directly in the CAD environment. Digitising errors such as overshoots, gaps or redundant vertices are detected and fixed automatically. Topology building, intersection cleanup and centroid annotations are supported as well.

Features
Survey and terrain data
GeoTools supports flexible exchange of survey data in formats such as CSV, TAB or stacked structures. All relevant attributes and CAD data are preserved, and coordinates can be converted in both directions between decimal degrees and DMS.
Geographic coordinates
GeoTools offers full coordinate conversion from UTM to geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude) and back – even in BricsCAD Lite, plain AutoCAD (without Map) and the standard version of ZWCAD.
Google Earth interaction
GeoTools offers full integration with Google Earth, allowing vector data to be imported and exported in KML/KMZ format. It is also possible to capture a viewport image from Google Earth and import it into CAD with georeferencing.
