CARTOMAP Reader for AutoCAD and Bricscad

1. Functionalities
1.1. Open CARTOMAP v6.2 files
CARTOMAP Reader for CAD can open projects of the latest CARTOMAP version and display their content as native objects within AutoCAD or Bricscad. The objects can be edited without restrictions within these CAD applications.
The use of CARTOMAP Reader for CAD is aimed to share common projects with other professionals that want to work on CARTOMAP projects within their preferred CAD software.
1.2. Plan view
Any 2D View defined in the CTM file can be displayed, and the view size is adjusted according to the scale factor.
The CTM view can include drawing objects (3D objects), Stations, Points, Survey Observations, Digital Terrain Models, Contours, Corridor Models...
Those CTM objects that don't have a corresponding representation in native CAD format are adapted to supported CAD objects: Clothoids become Polylines, DTMs become Surfaces, Stations become Points... These objects preserve their original geometrical information in CTM format as attributes in CAD format: Points have attributes for Identification, Elevation and Code; Stations become Points with Station attributes, Clothoids become Polylines with their geometrical parameters defined in their attributes...
1.3. Restrictions
