How to Convert SHP to BricsCAD?
Our importer was built specifically for easy SHP to BricsCAD transfer in 3 simple steps:
Download Automapki Application
Easily import SHP maps into BricsCAD drawings with Automapki Application. Install the plugin and restart your CAD software to get started.
Execute SHP Import
Open your BricsCAD editor, enter AmImportMap in the command line or click the Import Map button on the ribbon bar.
Import SHP Map
Choose your SHP (.shp) map file, click Open, and seamlessly import it into your BricsCAD drawing.

ESRI Shapefile (SHP) Format
The ESRI Shapefile (SHP) is a widely-used geospatial vector data format developed by Esri for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) applications. SHP files are designed to efficiently store the location, shape, and attributes of geographic features like points, lines, and polygons in a simple, compact format for easy mapping and spatial analysis.
Key Capabilities of SHP Files
- Geometric Data: SHP files store vector geometries including points, polylines, and polygons - each linked to a defined spatial reference system for accurate global positioning.
- Attribute Data: Each spatial feature carries descriptive attribute data (such as names, population, or land use type), stored in a corresponding .DBF (database) file alongside the SHP geometry file.
- Multiple File Structure: A complete SHP dataset typically includes three mandatory files:
- .shp - stores geometry (the shapes).
- .shx - an index file linking spatial data.
- .dbf - a database file for attribute data.
- Open Standard: Widely supported across most GIS software including QGIS, ArcGIS, and AutoCAD-based solutions.
Convert SHP Files to DWG and CAD Formats
Integrate geospatial data into your CAD workflows effortlessly with our Automapki Application. Compatible with AutoCAD, BricsCAD, and ZWCAD, Automapki allows you to:
- Import SHP shapefiles directly into DWG model space while maintaining geospatial accuracy.
- Export CAD drawing elements (DWG entities) back to SHP format for seamless sharing with GIS platforms.
Enhance your design projects by combining GIS-based mapping data with CAD precision. Try our solution to streamline SHP to DWG workflows!
