vdPClassify, vdPCADdesign & vdPGeo for AutoCAD 2025

AutoCAD 2025 has recently been released including the industry-specific toolset for GIS and mapping. Then it’s the time of year again to tune the applications to it.

This time it was a bit more complex than previous years. Previously, AutoCAD used the .NET Framework and it was a matter of installing a new Visual Studio environment, configuring a new version of the .NET Framework and adjusting references to the relevant AutoCAD DLLs.
As of AutoCAD 2025, Autodesk has switched from the .NET Framework 4.8 to .NET Core 8.0. And that has an impact in both the Visual Studio environment and the C# code.

Set up a VMware machine and update Windows
Download, install & register AutoCAD Map 2025
Download, install & register Visual Studio 2022
Adjust Visual Studio project settings with references to 2025
Convert Visual Studio from .NET Framework 4.8 to .NET Core 8.0

PDOK functionality in AutoCAD?
Yes you can!

Various PDOK functions are implemented by vdPConsulting in projects. Think of searching for a location in which a location on the map is jumped to on the basis of a street name and place. Or reading BGT/IMGeo information with a spatial filter within a project polygon.

GDAL/OGR functions are used to read GIS files in GML, GeoJSON, GeoPackage and ESRI Shape format.

DAL is a C++ translator library for more than 200 raster and vector geospatial data formats. It offers an API for a variety of languages such as C, C++, Python, Perl, C# and Java.

These functions have now been merged into a handy utility: vdPGeo.

vdPGeo is a C#.NET utility and available for various AutoCAD-versions.

OSGeo – GDAL/OGR import BGT/IMGeo (continuation)

GDAL is a C++ translator library for more than 200 raster and vector geospatial data formats. It offers an API for a variety of languages such as C, C++, Python, Perl, C# and Java.

vdPConsulting has investigated whether and how this GDAL/OGR functionality can be implemented in a C# plugin in AutoCAD.

As Proof of Concept II, the download of the BGT and BRK/DKK from the PDOK website has been implemented. Based on a project polygon, a location filter is created and sent to PDOK as a spatial query. The result is downloaded (as a ZIP-file) and extracted into the project folder and then imported into AutoCAD.

vdPConsulting has investigated whether and how this GDAL/OGR functionality can be implemented in a C# plugin in AutoCAD.

The import of the BGT/IMGeo is implemented as a Proof of Concept. Processed to NLCS-layers based on the features. At a later stage this can always be further broken down based on multiple properties. By keeping the fill and outline separated from each other, a simple Layer-command can be used to turn the fill off and switch to a line map. The software creates a set of Layer Filters for this purpose.
