    • Entities can be imported in a new drawing or in open drawings.

  • Selection of the destination layer where the entities will be imported or use of the value of a field to define the different layers of destination.

  1. Hallo,

    vielen Dank für diesen Beitrag. Anscheinend ist er schon etwas älter. Mittlerweile hat sich nämlich eine Menge getan, Vor allem gibt es für BricsCAD (and also AutoCAD und ZWCAD) viele Neuerungen. Allem eine “Professional” Version. Damit können Geodaten auch exportiert werden. Auch HIntergrundkarten (ZB OSM, Bing- und Google Maps sowie WMS Dienste) können dynamisch angezeigt werden.

    Viele Grüße - Peter
