GIS and GeoreferencingGIS and GeoreferencingIn the Vectorworks Architect and Landmark products, there are several features for importing and exporting GIS (geographic information system) data, and for georeferencing Vectorworks drawings.
For a small-scale architectural or landscape project, you might want to accurately import information related to the project site, such as property boundaries or municipal utility resources.
For a larger scale map project, you might import multiple shapefiles and image files and arrange them into maps, adding colors, symbols, and notes based on database information. You might then export files for use in other GIS software.
Both the Vectorworks Architect and Landmark products can store georeferencing information for design layers, as well as import and export georeferencing information related to shapefiles and image files. The Vectorworks Landmark product has additional features to make common GIS operations easier, including tools for adding graticule and great circle objects to a drawing.
