How to Convert WMS to DWG?
Our importer handles WMS to DWG conversion with just a few clicks described 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 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 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!
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.
