Customisation - Mapping Tools
Custom software to assist in the clean up and creation of allotments and cadastral boundaries
ECS Mapping Tools
The Mapping Tools application will provide users of Bentley MicroStation and Bentley PowerDraft with the ability to clean up
cadastral mapping files with intuitive tools that can save hours of processing. The application provides tools to take dirty
cadastral linework (including duplicates, overlaps, gaps, wrong levels/layers, etc) and process it to have clean snapped up
linework and annotations on the correct levels/layers with the correct symbology. It also has a lot annotation tool that will
label lots and allow for generation of a textual listing of lot information together with grid coordinates.
