Can coordinates be imported into BricsCAD Lite for the purpose of plotting building corners, edge of pavement, etc.? Can coordinates be exported for the purpose of building stake-out, curb and gutter stake-out, etc.? Can you overlay a Google Earth image with a subdivision plan so you could, for example, see what you'll be up against before you begin your topo??ÿ

I have no experience with the Lite version, only the full version, so I can't address the question with confidence.?ÿ I note, however, that the Lite version appears to support LISP programming, which suggests that most if not all of the OP's criteria might be possible.

As with regular BricsCAD, there's no built-in survey support, so access to 3rd-party LISP functions would be needed to efficiently use BricsCAD Lite in a survey environment.?ÿ There are a lot of free LISP functions available in the wild, though, so anyone with a modicum of skill in customizing CAD can probably accomplish a lot with it.
