What is TAO?
TAO (Computer-Aided Topography) is a professional extension for AutoCAD, designed to transform it into a specific tool for topography and cadastral surveying. It connects directly with official sources such as the Cadastre and the CNIG, facilitating geospatial data management and ensuring regulatory compliance in cadastral projects.
Key features:
🔹 Cadastral tools
- Direct download from the Cadastre (by cadastral reference or window).
- Reading and editing of GML files for parcels and buildings.
- Division and grouping of GMLs.
- Generation of GMLs ready for upload to the Cadastre's Electronic Headquarters.
- Automatic geometry repair: polyline orientation and removal of repeated vertices.
🔹 Raster and WMS/PNOA tools
- Connection to WMS servers and image download.
- Insertion of georeferenced orthophotos in JPG and TIF formats.
🔹 Other notable functions
- Import and export of points (TXT, GSI, geographic coordinates).
- Calculation and annotation of surfaces, volumes, sections, and DTM.
- Basic and advanced topographic drawing tools.
Benefits for surveyors
- Transforms AutoCAD into a complete topography and cadastral platform.
- Guaranteed regulatory compliance in GML generation for Cadastre and Registry.
- Time savings and error reduction thanks to process automation.
- Direct integration with official sources (Cadastre, CNIG, PNOA).
