Design to GIS

Design to Survey to GIS — Securezone Solutions
GstarCAD/GstarBIM + Spatial Manager

From design file to GIS-ready export — without leaving your CAD.

Most Philippine AEC firms design in one program and hand off to GIS or mapping teams through a lossy, manual file conversion. GstarCAD and GstarBIM give you full DWG-native design; Spatial Manager exports it straight to SHP, KML, or GeoJSON with automatic coordinate transformation — no separate GIS platform required. Need cadastral or terrain survey tools in the same drawing too? SPCad plugs into the same pipeline.

Perpetual licensing available on both — no forced annual subscription lock-in.

The Problem

Your CAD file and your GIS file shouldn’t be strangers.

Design, survey, and mapping usually run on separate tools that were never built to talk to each other — and every handoff between them is a chance to lose accuracy.

Manual re-entry, manual errors

Exporting a design to a survey tool, then re-importing to a GIS platform, means re-entering coordinates and parcel data by hand — and every re-entry is a chance to introduce error.

Compliance friction

LRA and DENR submissions expect specific cadastral and coordinate formats. Getting there from a generic CAD export often means extra conversion steps and rework.

Subscription lock-in

Many CAD-GIS toolchains are subscription-only, tying your survey and design work to an ongoing per-seat cost that scales awkwardly with project-based teams.

The Pipeline

Three tools. One continuous workflow.

Each stage plugs directly into your existing CAD environment — GstarCAD, GstarBIM, or ZWCAD.

Stage 01 — Design
GstarCAD / GstarBIM
Full IFC-compatible 2D/3D design, perpetual license

Model the site, structure, or infrastructure in a DWG-native environment — without the recurring subscription cost of the incumbent platforms.

DWG-native 2D/3D IFC-compatible BIM Perpetual licensing
Stage 02 — GIS Export
Spatial Manager
Move data between CAD and GIS without losing accuracy

Import and export SHP, KML/KMZ, GeoJSON, GML, and more, with automatic coordinate transformation — so the file that left your CAD program is the same data that lands correctly in GIS.

Optional Add-On — Survey & Cadastral
SPCad
For teams that also need terrain and parcel tools in-drawing

Manage 4,500+ coordinate systems, build TINs and contours, run cadastral lot division and parcel construction — directly inside the same drawing, for firms doing survey or land-title work alongside design.

GstarCAD/GstarBIM and Spatial Manager are licensed and supported as the core pipeline — add SPCad only if your work includes cadastral or terrain survey.
Why GstarCAD + Spatial Manager Wins

Disconnected toolchain vs. Securezone’s core pipeline

Compliance formattingExtra rework for LRA/DENR submission formatsNative cadastral & coordinate tools built in

The Philippines has a real gap between its design tools and its mapping tools — most firms just accept the manual conversion tax as a cost of doing business. We built this pipeline because that gap didn’t need to exist.

Authorized distribution

Securezone Solutions is an authorized Philippine distributor for GstarCAD, GstarBIM, SPCad, and Spatial Manager — direct licensing, genuine support.

Works with what you already run

The pipeline plugs into GstarCAD, GstarBIM, and ZWCAD environments — no need to migrate your existing drawings.

Built for local compliance

Coordinate and cadastral tooling designed to fit LRA and DENR submission requirements without extra conversion steps.

Who It’s For

Built for three kinds of Philippine teams

Survey

Geodetic Engineers & Surveyors

Cadastral lot division, parcel construction, and coordinate management without switching out of your CAD environment.

AEC

Architecture & Engineering Firms

Design in GstarCAD/GstarBIM and hand off site data to survey or GIS teams without a lossy file conversion step.

Public Sector

LGU & Government GIS Offices

Import and maintain spatial data across formats — SHP, KML, GeoJSON — for land use, planning, and mapping projects.

Common Questions

Before you ask

For most design-to-GIS workflows, GstarCAD/GstarBIM plus Spatial Manager covers it end to end. SPCad is worth adding only if your team also handles cadastral lot division, parcel construction, or terrain/TIN modeling directly in the drawing — typical for geodetic and survey work, not general AEC design.
SPCad and Spatial Manager both support ZWCAD in addition to GstarCAD, so you’re not locked into one CAD platform to use the survey or GIS interoperability tools.
SHP, KML/KMZ, GeoJSON, GML, CSV, XYZ, GPX, LAS, and more, along with 4,500+ coordinate systems and live background maps from providers like Google Maps and OpenStreetMap.
GstarCAD and GstarBIM offer perpetual licensing. SPCad and Spatial Manager licensing terms vary by edition — we’ll walk through the specific options for your team during the demo.
