Image underlay tool IRT

Hans Lammerts

It would be a handy if this tools was made compatible for BricsCAD users.
Only, the author needs to be able to compile it to a .des file

Imports online maps into your drawing.
Raster tiles are placed and scaled to match your coordinate system.
there are some video guides made by the users:

Looks like the same thing that's going on with this tool, except it creates a single image instead of using multiple tiles. Available for BricsCAD in MapWorks or the low cost GeoLocation+ package.

Have you tried using MAPCONNECT? This is a built in command for BricsCAD Pro and greater.

Hans Lammerts

Nice to hear these things are there! Can't try because i am using the classic version.

Jason Bourhill

Pro is really the minimum if you want to access the majority of 3rd party apps for BricsCAD.
