Importing DWG/vector maps

in Importing and exporting files

Hi all, I'm newish to Bricscad and I've been importing snips of maps and then drawing on top of them to add designs to them. This is a clunky method, and aside from buying individual cad maps from third party companies, is there a way to use an application like QGIS to import vector maps via like OS Maps? I'm at a blank, any advice welcome

    Don't they want you to pay copyright? got it tied up pretty tight - so at your own risk!

    Are the maps like State or Local government maps ? They often have something but yes will probably have to pay.

    I worked for a local Authority so did have direct access to maps and they included underground service access, relevant to the authority. Here in AUS we have "Dial before you dig " and they supply services maps free for small areas.

    We have a similar thing here, I'm just trying to figure out a proposal if that is THE way to do it or I'm missing something obvious.
