ARCreating a Site Plan in Illustrator using CAD Mapper.
Using CAD Mapper to pull data into Illustrator is easily the most satisfying way to build a site plan. It takes the “busy work” out of the process so you can actually enjoy the design side.
• The Grab: You just box out your site on a map and export it. CAD Mapper hands you the buildings, roads, and even the topography lines in seconds.
• The Workflow: It opens in Illustrator with everything already separated into layers. It’s a massive relief because you don’t have to clean up a messy file—you just start styling.
• The Vibe: Since it’s all vector data, you skip the “grunt work” and go straight to the fun part—dialing in your line weights, picking a palette, and making it look high-end.
It’s the fastest way to turn raw city data into a presentation-ready map!
