Pythagoras is one-stop-shopping for the land surveyor and civil engineer. Any feature you need is built-into this complete standalone application. No need to go shopping for additional plug-ins. It's all there: support for data collectors, field coding, drawing tools, Cogo, custom symbols and line types, image management, Contouring, volume calculations, Road Design.
VBA
Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) has been designed to provide high-level development capabilities inside off-the-shelf applications. Users of MS-Word and MS-Excel, for example, can make use of VBA to customize and enhance their word-processing or spreadsheet applications.
VBA is also fully integrated within Pythagoras. This results in a high-level development environment for enhancing and customizing Pythagoras. It includes an object model that provides complete read and write access to Pythagoras objects such as points, lines, circular curves, spirals, digital terrain models, and more), and it contains a complete set of sophisticated geometric calculation utilities. This has opened up a new world of capabilities for Pythagoras users. A few examples:
- Pythagoras VBA makes it easy to write your own report generators : legal descriptions, stakeout reports, volume calculation reports, etc.
- You can write customized reports directly to MS-Word documents.
- Develop macros for specialized tasks
- Build your own coordinate geometry commands to automate geometric problem solving.
- Create special macros for importing and exporting data : survey data, geometric data, digital terrain model data, etc.
The bottom line: Pythagoras VBA allows you to customize Pythagoras CAD+GIS to meet your particular needs. With VBA, Pythagoras has virtually unlimited power and functionality.
Macros by ADW Software
Macro Bonus Tools
This tool adds a number of possibilities to Pythagoras and shows the strength of VBA in Pythagoras.
This macro can be downloaded for free at this website.
Macro CADMap for Belgian cadastral maps
This macro allows to import Belgian cadastral maps in the Pythagoras environment. In this way overview and situation plans are easily created. The important parcels can be highlighted.
Scanning of maps becomes history and searching on street name, parcel number, section, … makes finding the correct parcel very easy.
Macro Kadaster GIS (Only available for Belgian public services)
The Belgian public services have the possibility the see the owner of a chosen cadastral parcel.
Macro GRB v3 (Only available in Belgium)
More and more surveyors are choosing for our GRB macro to easy and quickly produce a drawing according to the Belgian GRB regulations. This macro was approved by AGIV. De latest macro was altered to contain all the latest rules and regulations.
Macro cemetery management
This macro allows to manage your cemetery and to map it in a quick, easy and detailed manner. All paper maps, cards and other applications are superfluously. Manage you cemetery with just one application!
Macro WMS
WMS is a service which allows to import images or maps, brought together on a server, via a network or the internet in Pythagoras. The imported images are placed on the correct coordinates.
This macro demands a WMS server to be set up.
Macro 3D rendering VIS-ALL
3D Rendering gives the user the possibility to quickly create a 3D presentation of a project. By means of a configuration file, your Pythagoras drawing will be converted to a three dimensional image in VIS-ALL. The VIS-ALL software allows the finalize your 3D project.
(VIS-ALL is a software NOT developed by ADW Software)
