Description of Import Shapes (ESRI)

Who works with GIS has often the problem of facing with files in ESRI Shape format, containing geometry and attributes. This program allows you to import SHP files (and attached DBF Attributes) in AutoCAD, making a copy of linked tables and relinking the copies through the standard database tools already avaible in AutoCAD. The obtained DWG is a normal AutoCAD drawing, that's also 100% compatible with AutoCAD Map 2008. Import Shapes recognize Shape files of type Point, PointM, PointZ, PolyLine, PolyLineM, PolylineZ, Polygon and PolygonM, PolygonZ. The only limitations: there is no import option only for MultiPatch files (3D surfaces) and M dimension is not considered. The attributes are linked retaining their original format (DBF), without changing tables' structure while importing, but cloning them in a project folder and reconnecting them through an AutoCAD data connection (UDL) and standard link templates. This program is a must for people working in AutoCAD with maps in ESRI ArcGIS or ArchView format (SHP files). ImportShapes imports different shape files on different layers giving the option to change colors, linetypes, symbols (blocks), and even filling areas (with hatches), automatically creating layers and blocks, if they don't exist. IT'S FREE AND OPENSOURCE!
