Surveying software · Sold to any country

From the field to the drawing, directly

A CAD program that reads and writes DWG and DXF natively (no AutoCAD, no converters) and is a full PDF reader too; an add-in for anyone who is not going to switch; and an app that brings Windows Mobile field programs to Android. Written by a working surveyor.

Three programs, one for each way of working

One replaces your whole CAD. Another lives inside the one you already use. And the third takes your Windows Mobile program into the field on Android. Here is the essential of each; everything else is on its own page.

Full program

TopoMan CAD

Native CAD viewer and editor · DXF and DWG, no converters, and a full PDF reader

A CAD program that opens, edits and saves DWG and DXF without AutoCAD and without converters, with surveying built in: from the point file off the total station to the drawing with its bearing table and its property description. Besides DXF and DWG, it is a full PDF reader: it opens, marks up and signs them. It draws any plan, but it is made for the surveyor's.

TopoMan CAD with the Surveying tab open and the 3D model of a terrain in its window, coloured by elevation and with its contour lines

What it does

Imports points, defines the perimeter and produces the bearing, distance and coordinate tables
Subdivision with streets, contour lines, profiles and the terrain in 3D with its cut and fill
Georeferencing for El Salvador, Guatemala and Costa Rica or your own system, and the property description to Word and PDF
The whole CAD, plus 3D modeling and 3D Architecture: the house level by level, with its drawings and a walkthrough for the client
PDFs to read, mark up and sign, and the company's clients, quotes and payments in job management

Runs on: Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and the browser. On iPhone and iPad, as a web app until the app arrives
Files: Native DWG and DXF; a full PDF reader that marks them up and signs them; imports DGN, CSV, PDF and images
Language: Spanish and English
Trying it: The trial is the whole program and never expires: only saving, plotting, the cut and fill figures and taking job management off the device need a license
License: Monthly subscription

Add-in for AutoCAD

TopoMan plugin for AutoCAD

Surveying inside the AutoCAD you already use

For anyone who already works in AutoCAD and is not going to switch. It is a palette that opens inside AutoCAD with five tabs that do the repetitive work of a survey drawing (numbering vertices, producing the tables, writing the property description, subdividing and doing the altimetry) without leaving the drawing.

This plugin's interface is currently available in Spanish only.

The TopoMan palette inside AutoCAD, on the Drawing tab

What it does

Drawing: numbers the vertices, produces the tables and the area in square metres and square varas
Location: owner, boundaries and neighbours, with the catalogues of El Salvador and Guatemala inside
Description: reviews the neighbours, the fences and the divisions, and exports the description to Word or PDF
Subdivision: splits the polygon into lots
Altimetry: point cloud, TIN, contour lines and profiles

Runs on: Windows, inside AutoCAD 2013 and later, 32- or 64-bit. A single installer, and AutoCAD loads it by itself at start-up
Files: Works on the DWG open in AutoCAD
Language: Spanish only, for now
Trying it: Comes with a free trial to evaluate it before paying
License: The same account as TopoMan CAD: a subscription, alone or in TopoMan Suite

Android app

TopoMan WCE

Your Windows Mobile field programs, on Android

For anyone who works in the field with a Windows Mobile program and needs to change device. TopoMan WCE runs it on an Android data collector or phone, unmodified, connected to the total station and the GNSS. It is compatible with the main field surveying programs for Windows Mobile: MicroSurvey FieldGenius 12, Spectra Precision Survey Pro 6 and Carlson SurvCE 6. They have been tested in demo mode, and each one's license comes from its maker.

What it does

Runs Windows Mobile 6.5 programs on Android, with no emulator: yours, installed from its .CAB
COM ports over Bluetooth, USB and TCP, and the device GPS as a receiver
File explorer with ZIP and encrypted packages, and a text editor
Each program with its own screen, sound and internet settings, and its own Android shortcut
It updates itself: when there is a new version, the app says so

Runs on: Android 8.0 or newer, on data collectors and phones, including those that only have 64 bits
Files: Whatever your program handles. The app installs .CAB files and moves files with ZIP and encrypted packages
Language: The app, in Spanish and English. The program, in the languages it comes with
Trying it: The app installs for free and lets you install the program, but without a license it does not open it
License: Two separate licenses: the TopoMan WCE one (its subscription per Android device, or TopoMan Suite) and the one for each Windows Mobile program, sold by its maker and not included.

Which one is for me?

In the office, it depends on whether you are staying in AutoCAD. In the field, on whether you already work with a Windows Mobile program.

You do not have AutoCAD, or want to stop paying for it

TopoMan CAD is the complete program: it draws, does the surveying and delivers a DWG any other program opens. And it also runs on the phone and in the browser, and on iPhone and iPad as a web app.

TopoMan CAD

You already work in AutoCAD and are not switching

The plugin goes inside the AutoCAD you have and adds the surveying to it. It does not change how you draw or your files.

AutoCAD plugin

You survey with a Windows Mobile program

TopoMan WCE takes it to an Android data collector or phone, with your installer and your license, without changing program or the way you work.

TopoMan WCE

All three

The TopoMan Suite subscription brings them together, with TopoMan WCE for one data collector or phone per computer. On the same computer, TopoMan CAD and the plugin count as a single seat.

Built for the actual job

The square vara, the three coordinate systems of El Salvador, the datum shift to SIRGAS and the property description in legal language are not add-ons: they are the reason it exists. And the rest, layers, blocks, dimensioning, layouts and plotting, is all there, so the drawing does not have to be finished somewhere else.

“The same surveyor who does the fieldwork wrote the program the drawing is made with.”
Ronald Mancia · Land surveyor · El Salvador
