WEB Maps to DWG Conversion
Our importer was built specifically for easy WEB Maps to DWG transfer in 3 simple steps:
Download Automapki Application
Start by downloading and installing the free evaluation version of Automapki Application, which offers all the necessary functionality to import WEB Maps into DWG.
Set Coordinate System
Run the AmSetCoordSys command and select a coordinate reference system for your DWG drawing. You can search by EPSG code or country name to find your system.
Import Map Tiles
Execute the AmInsertTileImages command to select your coverage area. The system will download the WEB Maps tiles. Once complete, switch to model space to view the background image.

Satellite and Aerial Web Maps for CAD and DWG Backgrounds
Looking for a realistic, high-accuracy background for your DWG drawings? Easily integrate the latest satellite and aerial map images from popular web mapping services like MapQuest, OpenStreetMap, Google Maps, and Bing Maps directly into your CAD projects. Web-based maps offer an up-to-date and reliable spatial context for engineering, construction, urban planning, and GIS analysis.
Key Features of Web Maps for CAD Integration
- High-Resolution Imagery: Access detailed satellite, aerial, terrain, and street views with multiple zoom levels for precise background mapping.
- Global Coverage: Use comprehensive worldwide datasets that are regularly updated by leading mapping providers.
- Coordinate System Alignment: All maps use the standardized Spherical Mercator Projection (EPSG:3857) for easy integration with CAD coordinate systems.
- Exceptional Satellite Quality: Satellite imagery offers up to 15 cm/pixel resolution in urban areas (availability varies by region).
Convert Google Maps and Other Web Maps to DWG
Enhance your CAD workflow with Automapki Application for AutoCAD, BricsCAD, and ZWCAD. This powerful add-on lets you directly import and insert georeferenced web map images as backgrounds in your DWG drawings without leaving your CAD environment. Visualize infrastructure networks, property lines, and GIS data on real-world base maps, improving both accuracy and project efficiency.
Stop switching between mapping and CAD apps - Automapki embeds high-quality web maps directly into your DWG files, saving you hours on every project and ensuring precise geospatial context in all your designs.
What is a DWG File? (AutoCAD 2D/3D CAD Drawing Explained)
The DWG file format is a proprietary binary format developed by Autodesk for storing 2D drawings and 3D models in CAD (Computer-Aided Design) workflows. As the native format for AutoCAD, DWG files are widely recognized as the industry standard across architecture, engineering, and construction sectors for their precision, flexibility, and cross-platform compatibility.
Key Features of DWG Files
- Broad Compatibility: DWG files work seamlessly with popular CAD programs like AutoCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD, and IntelliCAD, ensuring easy sharing and collaboration across different software environments.
- High-Precision Vector Data: DWG files store exact vector-based 2D graphics, 3D models, and rich metadata, making them ideal for detailed blueprints, architectural designs, and complex engineering projects.
- Efficient Use of Blocks: DWG drawings support reusable "blocks" - predefined components like symbols or templates - that help streamline design workflows, ensure consistency, and reduce file sizes.
DWG File Conversion Made Simple
Looking to convert DWG files into popular 3D or GIS formats like OBJ, STL, DXF, KML, or KMZ?
