Purpose and Utility
In modern cadastral workflows, exporting land parcels in GML format is essential for integrating plot information with national land record systems, digital registries, and municipal GIS databases. GML structures land parcel boundaries, identifiers, and geolocation data in a standardized format, making it ideal for spatial analysis and legal validation.
Moreover, this SPCAD tool enables you to export parcel polygons created within your CAD drawing. It empowers urban planners, land surveyors, and cadastral engineers to contribute accurate parcel data to broader GIS networks.
Technical Description
- Coordinate System:
You must assign a projected coordinate system before export. - Parcel Creation:
Make sure you’ve already drawn the land parcels using SPCAD’s tools before proceeding.- Lot Division tool
- Quick Division tool
- Export Process:
Once your parcels are ready:- Launch the tool
- Specify the output folder
- SPCAD exports the parcel geometries as a structured GML file
Workflow
- Assign a coordinate system
- Use Lot Division or Quick Division to define parcels
- Launch the tool from Export → Export Parcels to GML
- Select output folder
- GML file with parcel geometry is created
Use Case Highlights
- Compliant export for municipal submission and digital land record systems
- Easy integration with GIS platforms for zoning, tax mapping, and planning
- Accurate output for survey documentation, legal demarcations, or plot management systems
Tip
Before exporting parcels to GML, ensure your plot boundaries are cleanly closed polylines and accurately represent real-world divisions. Use SPCAD’s Lot Division or Quick Division tools to maintain consistent geometry.
