Map


Home|System settings

These are the settings for the map sheet add-on module.


 

Map tables

Information about the map tables used is entered in a separate file. The file contains information about which coordinates the map charts start from (lower left corner) and the size in North and East directions. See more information below.

Map types

The map can be divided into several different types of information and these will be displayed as tables when the map sheet is imported. Different types can be separated with a prefix or suffix (extension). For example: if the map type is CADASTRE, all map sheets containing Cadastre information will be given the prefix CADAST_, e.g. CADAST_BF45 where CADAST stands for Cadastre information and BF45 relates to a specific map sheet.

Format

Map sheets can be in  AutoCAD DWG format or Microstation DGN format. Topocad TOPX format will follow.

Map directory

Select the directory in which you have stored the map sheets. Subfolders can be entered in the map table file.

 

An example of a map table

The format, saved as a csv (comma separated format) file that can be created in MS Excel, is as follows:

Map sheet name,Sub folder,X,Y,height,width

Example:

AC035;AC;55600;97600;400;600

AC036;AC;55600;98000;400;600

AD036;AD;56000;98000;400;600

A subfolder can be empty but requires an extra , (comma).
