Google Street View is a technology, which provides interactive and multiperspective panoramas of many places and streets worldwide. It’s commonly used on a daily basis, but hardly anyone pays attention to the permalink displayed in the URL address bar. In fact, some programmers use it for instant opening the Street View roughly at the desired … Read more
After browsing the internet and trying my own approaches finally, I can come out with a nice method, that allows you to pass the attribute table data from your QGIS project to AutoCAD LT. Basically, the QGIS project can export to the AutoCAD environment easily. It’s just going to the Project -> Import/Export -> Export … Read more
I would like to show you a nice feature in this short article. You can use it in your AutoCAD software and the LT version. It applies to searching (or zooming) the object by coordinates. When can it be useful? Usually, in the case of validation of your projects, you have thrown some coordinates. Usually, … Read more
The AutoCAD LT version is restricted to many fields. It impacts also the option of total calculation of the lines and polylines comprised of the given layer. Since our layer is not big, we can handle it manually by for instance the sum of separate calculations in the table or just simply by applying the … Read more
In this post, I would like to bring you some knowledge about the geolocation of drawing in the AutoCAD LT version. At some point, you can find here some repeatable stuff showing you the relevant steps for making this task successful. However, I wouldn’t have decided to post this article if I had seen the … Read more
In the recent text, I’ve shown you how to get the elevation data to QGIS without DEM. Imagine, that this is a track for equipping any point in QGIS with elevation data regardless of its location on our map. Maybe it’s not that useful when our point layer is restricted to some small area bounded … Read more
This article is about the migration tool palette from a newer to an older version of AutoCAD LT. Despite a vast majority of cases, where the tool palette, as well as other settings, are moved from an older to a newer version of AutoCAD sometimes, although very rarely the situation in another direction might occur. … Read more
AutoCAD LT version is quite poor when compared to the full AutoCAD 3D software. It means in practice, that some options aren’t available or require a bigger workaround in order to get to the desired point. One of the issues is the lack of a direct option of exporting attribute data from our drawing directly … Read more
In this article, I want to demonstrate to you some shortcut, which is a product of two traditional ways of collecting the elevation data for any project in QGIS. The first way of collecting the elevation data in QGIS is by downloading and using the Digital Elevation Model from which this particular data can be … Read more
There is a way in QGIS, which allows us to display the tourist trails overlay on Google Satellite imagery. It wouldn’t be interesting that much if not for the fact, that it can be exported as an image or printable as a map in Print Layout. In the next few sentences, I will demonstrate to … Read more
This short article will tell you how to place your text label exactly in the center of some existing features. The example is QGIS-based, although its usage is quite versatile as long as you create the text in the text box. The image below shows the print layout in QGIS (Pic. 1) which includes the … Read more
QGIS project offers a quick option for exporting our map as an image. Most sources explain the other way of exporting the maps from QGIS by using the print layout. And rightly so, because the print layout has much more options for customizing our maps and this is surely the most important thing in our … Read more
The data attribute table in QGIS can be updated in different ways. We can use the “Default value” option, provide the formula to our column, and replace some content, and so forth. In this text, I will focus on the last option – replacing the content. In addition, I would like to show you the … Read more
This article is dedicated to anyone, who works in the telecom industry and struggles with creating the FTTx schematics. We have several nice ways to combat our day-to-day work, although not all of them are for free – this is one reason. Another one refers to our particular project, which does not always fit with … Read more
Maybe you were wondering about the possibility of transferring the legend from the QGIS print layout to Excel? This short text shows you how to do it, especially for the simple legend, which won’t last long. The tutorial is oriented toward not programming-savvy people, therefore please don’t expect any kind of automatization here. Of course, … Read more
In this short text, I would like to mention a couple of steps to the successful conversion of the Google Earth files between the .kmz and .kml. As we know, the .kmz file is nothing but a zip-compressed .kml file including map locations viewable in various locations. Sometimes these zipped .kml files are accompanied by … Read more
A heat map represents the density of specific data within an area of a map. It presents as color-coded circles on the map, depending on set parameters. The aggregation of this data formulates with location and the radius of influence, which is manually adjusted depending on the user’s preference. When the density of data increases … Read more
Previously I explained to you how to make the speed limit in QGIS and display it in Google Maps. This process required drawing the new layer including the speed limit of the given road sections collected from the Waze.com map service. Admittedly this is not the quickest way of getting a map such as this, … Read more
OpenInfraMap is one of many OpenStreetMap projects, which is concentrated on highlighting the infrastructure worldwide. Predominantly this infrastructure is invisible in the major OpenStreetMap rendering but is directly sourced from OpenStreetMap. The OpennInfraMap is focused on displaying: – Power, – Solar generation, – Petroleum (Oil & Gas), – Water infrastructure, – Telecoms. The map is … Read more
Print composer in QGIS gives us the possibility of creating printable maps and atlases, which can be saved as the .pdf or .svg. The print composer provides a wide spectrum of options by adding various elements and components to our maps. Next, we can resize, align, and rotate each other as we need to. As … Read more
