I am using autocad for students 2017; I have tried to use the compiled command, but it has not worked. Also, I have tried the command, Mapimport and AutoCad doesn't even found it.   How can I import a shapefile into AutoCad in order to get some measurements I'm interested with?

I'm trying to import shapefiles into a DWG using diferent layers names and during my web search I found this post. I know you did this 2 years ago but my problem is very similar and I wonder if you could help me.  Basically I've got a shapefiles of pipelines and I want to use the attribute name to sort the features into different CAD levels in teh same layer. I tried the import and although soem people say that "you can set the import to use data field" I can't see any option to do it and I'm really struggling. Any help appreciated.  I'm running on AutoCAD Map 3D 2010.

I have a folder and it contains two feature classes, e.g., a.shp and b.shp. The script tool created has two parameters. The first one is the model location, and the second one needs a feature class (a.shp), as shown in the below picture.  What I really want is every time when I set up the model location for the first input, the second input will automatically find the a.shp as the input rather than the user needs to choose a.shp from that folder. I noticed that the dependency is probably what I really need, but there is no code example. Any suggestions?   I am using ArcGIS 10.3.1 Advanced License.

Does anyone have a simple work-flow for drawing cross sections of earth features in QGIS?   My thing is that QGIS is being used to present the plan view, but we have a little interest in some elevations as well. All the data is one set and is simply an elevation value in the attribute table, I don't want to have to move all that to CAD.  One logical workaround is to present the z value as the y.  I am a dunce in paper space in CAD, and would be more comfortable with the QGIS Composer.

so I have a shapefile with buildings and the shapefile has the height of the buildings in the attribute table. I have a second shapefile with the districts the buildings are located in. Now I would like to count the mean height of the buildings in each district and add it to the attribute table of the districts. For raster data it would be easy using zonal statistics to get the mean for a specific area, but I cant figure out the solution for 'shapes within shapes'.

I need to do this for displacement mapping, subdivision gives a bad result and makes triangles distinguishable.    Related to:   But I get the error "No other selected object found to use for projection".

I am very new to PostGIS/PostgreSQL. In fact, I downloaded it because of the answers I got to this question:   I installed both PostgreSQL and PostGIS. But I am not able to import a shapefile to the database? It gives an error, "Shapefile import failed". What am I doing wrong?

I have found out how to get tab-delimited X,Y data into a layer but the Z field value is not given as an option on import?  I tried to edit the attributes to add and define a new field but it keeps crashing.

What is a method for importing/exporting DXF files with QGIS? I work in an engineering field and we use CAD and specialist design programs, and often go through several iterations during a project. I am having trouble interchanging data between QGIS and DXF formats.  I export several layers from QGIS in DXF format and load them into cad.  Essentially I xref the exported DXF files into CAD, and then draw over the top of them in CAD, as I find it quicker and more accurate.  The files line up OK, but need to be scaled and transformed to match the coordinates in QGIS.  I then detach the xref's, save the new DXF with line work on a single layer.  The DXF file coordinates match the QGIS coordinates. I can't seem to get the new DXF to import back into QGIS.  I would like to be able to export and import a particular data table several times as the project develops. Screenshot 1 - I exported the pink polygons and edited them in CAD.  I then imported the DXF file back in but nothing came in - see &quot;entities&quot;.  Screenshot 2 - Attribute table of imported layer.

I want to append some data to a layer in my PostGIS DB using a shapefile, but when I use the Import layer/file tool in QGIS, it doesn't allow me to choose the append option.  Why is this and how do I get it to allow me to append?

Where is the ArcGIS 10 tool for creating a shapefile from current dataframe extents in layout view?  Have looked around and the closet thing i can find is Toolbox's Grid/Strip Map Index tools under Data Drive Pages.  I just want to be able to create a single polygon rectangle shp file based on the data frame (in layout view) for any given scale / page setup.

I have a few hundred shapes (polygons and multipolygons) each consisting of tens of thousands of points that I am trying to get into SQL 2008.  Unfortunately, the shapes I have tried to import are "right-handed" (the perimeter of each one is drawn clockwise around the points it contains). SQL server assumes "left-handed" shapes (anti-clockwise around the interior), at least for geography types. This means that SQL assumes that I'm trying to select the entire earth except for my shape. Some people describe this as "inside-out" shapes.  From , which frustratingly doesn't say which ring orientation one is to use:     If we use the geography data type to store the spatial instance, we must specify the orientation of the ring and accurately describe the location of the instance.   If you use the wrong ring orientation in SQL 2008, it crashes with the following error (emphasis mine):     A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user-defined routine or aggregate "geography":    Microsoft.SqlServer.Types.GLArgumentException: 24205: The specified input does not represent a valid geography instance because it exceeds a single hemisphere. Each geography instance must fit inside a single hemisphere. A common reason for this error is that a polygon has the wrong ring orientation.   Importing the shapes as geometry instead of geography works fine, but I'd like to use geography if I can.  In SQL 2012, it appears  to fix this problem, but I am tied to 2008.  How should I convert the shapes?

How do I calculate areas of an area shapefile in square meters (m²) or in acres (ha)? I didn't find that functionality in the Vector Tools.

I 'm running postgis with qgis 2.6. I created a database and tables that i need to update with new datas provided with shapes. I cannot find how to insert them in table. All attributes both shapes and table are same. I don't despair to have an "easy" way instead of using an insert to command that i'm not sure to use correctly in postgis command.  I've tried the database manager but i only succeed in erasing all previous data in the table >_&lt;  Window 7 64 bits Qgis2.6 Postgis1.5 Postgrsql 9.4

How do I convert MapInfo TAB and/or MIF files to SHP using only free tools or ArcGIS itself?   I've not had much luck trying to do this in the past and I don't want to have to shell out for the ArcGIS Data Interoperability extension which seems to be the 'official' way to go about this.

What is the smoothest route, the easiest user experience, to add  files to ArcMap?  Ideally, I'd like to interact with .gpx with the same facility as .shp, being able drag'n'drop onto the map canvas and so on. Ultimately the results will be feature classes in a file-gdb but shapefile is an acceptable intermediate.

I'm pretty new in QGIS and i'm searching a drawing tool like it is possible to find in microsoft word or excel.  I search something very user friendly (for dummies!) to add circles, arrows, lines... with no need to create a new layer!!  Can you help me?
