ABC AutoCAD Import ShapeFiles

ABC AutoCAD Import ShapeFiles version 1.0 by ABC Autocad offers a valuable solution for professionals dealing with GIS files in ESRI ® Shape format, which include both geometry and attributes. This free download program falls under the Photo & Graphics category, specifically designed for 3D Design. It streamlines the process of importing SHP files, along with their attached DBF attributes, into AutoCAD, making a copy of the linked tables and relinking them through AutoCAD's standard database tools. The resulting DWG file is a standard AutoCAD drawing, fully compatible with AutoCAD Map 2008.

Among the standout features of ABC AutoCAD Import ShapeFiles is its ability to recognize a wide array of Shape file types, including Point, PointM, PointZ, PolyLine, PolyLineM, PolyLineZ, Polygon, PolygonM, and PolygonZ. However, the program does not support the import of MultiPatch files (3D surfaces), and the M dimension is omitted.
