Description of the command:

GCCG - (Geo Cartogram Create Grid) - the main command, creates a grid of squares for further calculation, the command uses the dialog box:

-< Surfaces >- the choice of surfaces is available both from the list and from the drawing

-< Grid of squares >- optional
Dimensions - can be specified on the screen or entered manually
Base point - the position of the vertex of one of the squares of the grid

-< Boundaries >- you can not specify
External - only closed polylines are available, a common area for 2 surfaces and the specified border will be found.
Internal - only closed polylines are available, you can specify several, according to these contours areas from the cartogram will be cut
Feature lines - there may be 2D \ 3D polylines and feature lines of Civil, when intersecting feature lines and grid squares, the squares will be divided into parts by the feature line.

-< Angle of rotation of the cartogram >- set the rotation of the cartogram
MSC - the grid will be created parallel to the axes of the world coordinate system.
UCS - the grid will be created parallel to the axes of the user coordinate system. (as it was in previous versions)
Own - the grid will be rotated according to the angle entered by the user.

GCCL - (Geo Cartogram Create Line grid) - Creates a grid of squares oriented along the path, the command uses the dialog box:

-< Sources >-
A choice of objects is available both from the list and from the drawing, while a Civl 3D “track” object or any linear AutoCAD object can act as a trace

-< Pickage >-
Entered manually or indicated on the drawing to indicate the desired range of the route

-< Grid of squares >-
The grid can be built both to the borders and a fixed width along the axis, or even for example on one side of the axis. In order to have one row of squares along the route, indicate a deliberately larger size across the axis than the width of the surface itself.

-< Boundaries >-
You can not specify
External - only closed polylines are available, a common area for 2 surfaces and the specified border will be found.
Internal - only closed polylines are available, you can specify several, according to these contours areas from the cartogram will be cut
Feature lines - there may be 2D \ 3D polylines and feature lines of Civil, when intersecting feature lines and grid squares, the squares will be divided into parts by the feature line.

GCMR - (Geo Cartogram Merge Regions) command combines several selected regions into one. It is convenient to combine small areas with neighboring large ones. After calling the command, regions with an area of less than 2% of the base will be highlighted in red, and regions with an area of less than 25% in blue.

GCSE - (Geo Cartogram Sign Elevation) the command signs the marks on the nodes of the square grid

This command will create the _Geo_cart_ block

All basic settings for the block are present in the dialog. If you need something more, you can always edit it in the block editor and select "Use an existing block" the next time you call the command.

GCWB - (Geo Cartogram Weed Block) the command deletes blocks (mark signatures) that sign individual vertices that are not common to neighboring sections.
GCAB - (Geo Cartogram Add Block) command inserts a block (signature labels) at any location you specify.

GCWZ - (Geo_Cartogram_Work_Zero) the command resets the work mark in the indicated blocks, while the choice is available which mark is Red or Black left unchanged.
GCDE - (Geo_Cartogram_Delete_Elevation) command deletes all label labels.
GCCV - (Geo Cartogram Calculation Volumes) the command based on the already created grid of squares and signed marks will calculate and further design.

This command will create the _Geo_cart_vol_ block

All basic settings for the block are present in the dialog. If you need something more, you can always edit it in the block editor and select "Use an existing block" the next time you call the command.

GCDC - (Geo Cartogram Delete Calculation) the command deletes only volume calculations, leaving a grid of squares and label marks, for possible editing of the grid itself \ surfaces \ marks and re-calculation.

GCMB - (Geo Cartogram Move Block) the command move the block (signatures of angles or volume) to a new location and builds a leader from its original position.

GCDA - (Geo Cartogram Delete All) command deletes the entire cartogram.

Installation

The application is installed in the C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins folder. AutoCAD (CIVIL 3D) starting from version 2013, at startup, they go into this folder themselves, and load the necessary data from there, after which a corresponding new panel will appear on the Ribbon, on the "Add-Ins" tab.

Purchase \ Registration

The purchase comes from the application itself, after installing it and running the command in AutoCAD (CIVIL 3D), a window will appear about the trial period, in this window there will be a button "Buy", which will launch the registration form in the browser. Activation of the application is tied to the PC hardware, changing AutoCAD does not affect in any way, reinstalling the operating system will require re-entering the activation code, but the code itself will not change and the code obtained earlier will do. Changing the PC will require a new registration (purchase).

Update

Registration is not tied to the version of the application, so the installation of a new version will not require an additional fee.

Deleting

Removal is performed using standard Windows methods through the Control Panel -> Add \ Remove Programs

Briefly about us

Hi! This is Alexander Berdyugin

I started out writing scripts for myself to make my own survey data processing easier. Now I develop applications for AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and NanoCAD. I lead a small team — everyone handles their own area, while I'm responsible for the solution architecture and overall vision.

We don't duplicate built-in functionality — why reinvent the wheel? We create what you actually need: well-thought-out algorithms, a clean interface, and clear logic. Because behind me is not only my own experience as a surveyor, but also years of close work with civil planners — I understand the adjacent tasks and know where time really gets wasted for everyone involved.

Our applications have been tested on real-world tasks, and we keep developing and improving them. If you have ideas or questions — we're always open to chat. Let's make working with AutoCAD simpler and faster!
