WMS to AutoCAD Conversion
Converting WMS for AutoCAD is now a breeze with our importer solution as presented below:
Download Automapki Application
Start by downloading and installing the free evaluation version of Automapki Application, which offers all the necessary functionality to import WMS into AutoCAD.
Set Coordinate System
Run the AmSetCoordSys command and select a coordinate reference system for your AutoCAD 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 WMS tiles. Once complete, switch to model space to view the background image.

Web Map Service (WMS) Protocol
Web Map Service (WMS) is an OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) standard protocol for delivering dynamic, georeferenced map images over the internet. By generating maps on demand from spatial datasets, WMS enables real-time visualization of geographic information in web browsers, GIS platforms, and CAD software.
Key Features of WMS
- Rendered Image Delivery: WMS servers provide map images (PNG, JPEG, BMP) instead of raw vector or raster data, ensuring fast and efficient access.
- On-Demand Map Generation: Maps are dynamically created based on client requests, including bounding box, coordinate system, and style parameters.
- Layer and Style Management: Easily combine multiple layers, apply custom styling, and create composite maps in a single WMS request.
- OGC Standard Compliance: Developed by the Open Geospatial Consortium, WMS ensures interoperability across GIS platforms and mapping technologies worldwide.
- Seamless GIS Integration: Fully compatible with leading GIS software like QGIS, ArcGIS, and CAD-based GIS extensions.
Convert WMS Maps to DWG Files
Our Automapki Application enhances your AutoCAD, BricsCAD, or ZWCAD projects with built-in WMS functionality. Seamlessly import live WMS map layers into DWG drawings while preserving geospatial coordinates. Merge multiple WMS sources into a single, accurate CAD file, providing real-world map backgrounds for site plans, infrastructure projects, and urban development designs. Elevate your CAD workflow with real-time geospatial visualization!
AutoCAD DWG File Format - Convert DWG Drawings
AutoCAD, developed by Autodesk, is an industry-leading CAD software known for its precision, versatility, and native support for the DWG file format. DWG (Drawing) files are the standard format for storing 2D and 3D design data, widely used in architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing industries worldwide.
Key Features of AutoCAD and DWG Files
- Comprehensive CAD Tools: Create professional 2D technical drawings and detailed 3D models using AutoCAD’s robust drafting and modeling capabilities.
- DWG File Compatibility: Work directly with native .dwg files to ensure maximum data accuracy, cross-platform collaboration, and version control.
- Custom Automation: Automate repetitive tasks and customize your workflow using AutoLISP, ObjectARX, and custom scripts for greater efficiency.
- Dynamic Blocks & Parametric Design: Use smart blocks with adjustable parameters to simplify complex designs and speed up drawing creation.
Convert DWG Files to 3D and GIS Formats
Extend the power of AutoCAD with our Automesher Application and Automapki Application. These plugins allow seamless import and export of 3D model formats like STL, OBJ, SKP, FBX, and STEP, as well as geospatial formats including SHP, KML, and GeoJSON. Enhance your DWG projects by integrating 3D models and GIS data directly into your AutoCAD environment.
Convert DWG files and integrate real-world data into your CAD projects with ease - unlock new design possibilities and streamline your BIM and GIS workflows with our powerful AutoCAD file conversion tools.
