Improve Plotting in GEOVIA Surpac with DraftSight integration

By

Did you know there is a quick and accurate way of plotting in GEOVIA Surpac when integrated with our CAD tool, DraftSight?

DraftSight is a powerful 2D design and drafting solution that lets you create, edit, view and markup any kind of 2D drawing. It includes productivity tools, an API and a familiar user interface that makes it easy to transition from other comparable CAD applications.

Organizations using Dassault Systèmes DraftSight have seen gains in productivity, quality and cost reduction, enhancing Surpac’s plotting capabilities for plans, sections and 3D Models.

The DraftSight Pro Pack can be seamlessly integrated into Surpac to automate tasks and simplify workflow, and the design library allows you to define reusable elements such as blocks and annotations.

In India, normal plotting usually follows the below steps:

  1. Manual setting of paper within GEOVIA Surpac
  2. Creation of entities
  3. Mapping of entity
  4. Plotting of map
  5. Editing of map, if any

Plotting in Surpac usually requires either graphics-based plotting or file-based plotting, but with DraftSight’s autoplotting feature there is no need to do so.

With DraftSight’s autoplotting features, there is:

  1. No Manual setting of paper within GEOVIA Surpac (you can easily select the CAD-based paper setting within DraftSight)
  2. Minimal creation of entities
  3. Minimal mapping of entities as it’s graphics-based
  4. No mapping required
  5. CAD tool means easy editing

This could lead to a 90% improvement in productivity as many of the manual processes are eliminated or streamlined.

Plotting in India also normally involves two sets of people: the Surpac user and the draftsman. However, if the Surpac user is trained to use DraftSight, there may be no need for a draftsman, reducing labor costs by up to 30%.
