The document discusses the torcreator application designed for urban planning and surveying, which integrates database management with AutoCAD to alleviate issues related to GIS complexity and data conversion. It automates the creation of tor models for land parcels, enhancing efficiency and reducing the effort required for managing urban projects. The application also ensures data security, facilitates easy search and retrieval of CAD drawings, and is compatible with specific AutoCAD versions.

2. Many of public and private organizations that work in urban
planning and surveying enterprise projects are interesting
in how to manage their data and features. They facing a
problem sometimes in how to relate between data and
land-parcels for the new urban plans.
GIS is a powerful tool for building a relation between
database and spatial features, but in most cases this tool
is expensive and complex in use. Additionally, most of the
urban planning and surveying projects depend on
AutoCAD as prime and popular software. Additionally,
using GIS requires continually conversion process for
data type from CAD to other GIS extensions which cost
time and effort.

3. The importance of TORCreator application appears here,
whereas it works under AutoCAD workspace to link
between database and spatial features of urban plan in
order to manage the land-parcels without using any
additional GIS software or conversion processes from
CAD to any other GIS formats. The application’s target is
to create the TOR model for the detailing plans
automatically for the municipalities and consultant offices
that working in urban planning. The database storage
could be stored on the client PC or it could be on the
server to ensure the security of project data and work
performance.

5. TORCreator application creates TOR Model for land parcels
based on stored data in order to save, present, export or
print model for the stakeholders or organizations. This all
happened through AutoCAD as a powerful, easy and
efficient workspace. In addition, TORCreator has many
other geometric functions such as calculating dimensions,
areas and saving field coordinates which come from field
automatically, also it saves owner and consultant
information.

7. • TORCreator stores all CAD drawings of land parcels
related to land parcels’ information in order to manage the
urban projects effectively. Accordingly, user can inquiry
for land parcels by land No and create TOR sheets
quickly and economically.
