WEB Maps to DWG Conversion
Our importer was built specifically for easy WEB Maps to DWG transfer in 3 simple steps:
Download & Install:
Start by downloading and installing the free evaluation version of Automapki Application, which offers all the necessary functionality to import WEB Maps into DWG.Set Coordinate System:
Run the AmSetCoordSys command and select a coordinate reference system for your DWG drawing. You can search by EPSG code or country name to find your system.Import Map Tiles:
Execute the AmInsertTileImages command to select your coverage area. The system will download the WEB Maps tiles. Once complete, switch to model space to view the background image.

Satellite & Aerial Maps
Do you need a realistic and accurate background for your DWG drawings? Do you want to use the latest and most reliable map images from the web? If so, you should consider using web maps provided by various online services, e.g. MapQuest, Open Street Map, Google Maps, or Bing Maps.
Key Features of WEB Maps
High-Resolution:
Provide detailed satellite, aerial, terrain, and street view imagery at multiple zoom levels.Global Coverage:
Offer comprehensive worldwide mapping with regular updates.Coordinate System:
Use a Spherical Mercator (Pseudo-Mercator) projection (EPSG:3857).Satellite Resolution:
Up to 15 cm/pixel in urban areas (varies by location).
Google Maps to DWG Conversion
Automapki Application brings the power of web mapping directly into your CAD workflow. This add-on for AutoCAD, BricsCAD and ZWCAD lets you insert georeferenced web map images as backgrounds in your DWG drawings. The integrated maps serve as spatial reference for your technical data, enabling you to visualize infrastructure networks, property boundaries and other GIS elements in their real-world context. Stop switching between CAD and mapping apps! Automapki brings web maps directly into DWG - saving you hours on every project.
2D/3D CAD Drawing
A proprietary binary file format developed by Autodesk for storing 2D and 3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design) data, including vector graphics, metadata, and geometric models. As the native file format for AutoCAD, DWG is the industry-standard for engineering, architecture, and construction design due to its precision, versatility, and widespread compatibility.
Standout Features of DWG
Compatibility:
DWG drawings are compatible with other software packages, such as ZWCAD, Bricscad, and IntelliCAD, which also support the DWG format. This makes DWG files the industry-standard in CAD.High-Precision Vector-Based Design:
DWG files store vector-based data, 2D drawings, and 3D models, along with metadata, making them highly versatile. Ideal for technical drawings and designs requiring extreme accuracy, such as engineering blueprints and architectural plans.Support for Blocks:
DWG format supports for "blocks", which are reusable design elements like symbols or templates, which help improve efficiency, maintain consistency across designs, and reduce file size by reusing common components without duplicating DWG data.
DWG Drawing Converters
DWG drawings can be easily converted into various 3D and GIS file formats, such as OBJ, STL, DXF, KML, and KMZ, using our add-ons - Automesher Application and Automapki Application. This allows you to seamlessly share your AutoCAD DWG drawings across different platforms and applications. Convert DWG to SKP, KML, STL and more - try our converters with a free trial today!
