Plotting points in DoubleCAD
With the click of a button, the waypoints are placed into the DoubleCAD drawing
The program converts the Latitude and Longitude coordinates to an X, Y, Z , a format that DoubleCAD understands. It will plot in 3D, so you can use it for terrrain modeling, and it plots as points, lines, and blocks to give you the most versatility. The blocks carry attrubutes containing text descriptors of the point - such as comments, id, and others.
Provides Datum Translation GPS2DoubleCAD translates the GPS into more than 40 world wide coordinate systems, including the extremely popular NAD 27, NAD 83, and the State Plane Coordinate systems (used in the United States).
