$20.00

Survey Point Manager is a powerful Autodesk® AutoCAD® plugin tailored for surveyors, civil engineers, and CAD professionals. It provides an all-in-one solution for managing, converting, and exporting survey points—without ever leaving your drawing environment.

Key Features

  • Multi‑Format Support
    Import and export survey points in CSV, SDR, GSI (8 & 16), TXT, KML, and IDX formats. Before importing or exporting, you can customize format options—like column order or whether to include descriptions—to match your workflow or field equipment.
  • Point List Management
    Imported or selected points are displayed in a clean, structured point list. Features include search, delete all, undo/redo, and a dynamic point counter for tracking active entries.
  • Three Export Methods
    Choose the method that fits your needs for exporting and numbering points:
    • Pick Mode: Select points directly from the drawing manually. Click again to stop the session.
    • Auto Mode: Define a base point, then select geometry; points are auto‑numbered and inserted into both the drawing and the point list.
    • Smart Mode: Select a base point, pick multiple blocks or text entities, review them in a results dialog, and generate points from them intelligently.
  • Smart Table Insertion
    Visually summarize your points with smart AutoCAD tables. Customize table style, max rows, optional title, and column visibility to fit your project's standards.
  • Settings Configuration Panel
    Centralized control for all customization options:
    • Point Options: Set layers, marker style, size, and text height.
    • Numbering Settings: Configure prefix, font size, and placement layers.
    • Table Settings: Choose table styles, define max rows, enable/disable titles, and customize visible columns.
    • History Options: Enable history tracking and control the maximum number of records.
  • Format Conversion Utility
    Seamlessly convert between supported file formats inside AutoCAD (e.g., GSI → CSV, TXT → KML). Ideal for transforming data between field software and design environments.
  • History Tracking
    Every import and export operation is recorded. Use the History Manager to review past actions, delete them, or restore cleared records with one click.

What’s New & What’s Next

You are using version 1.0.0 — the initial release of Survey Point Manager.

In the next major update, expect:

  • A refreshed, modern user interface.
  • Support for highly requested formats.
  • Smart tools that surveyors — and anyone passionate about coordinates, mapping, or CAD precision — will truly enjoy.
  • Even more streamlined workflows that make managing points fun and flexible.

Useful Links

  • Large datasets (>100,000 points) may reduce performance.
