The purpose of this thesis is to develop an application which allows the user to display spatial data in a CAD system/program. The application focuses on reading spatial data from a SHP file and displaying the data in BricsCAD. The thesis defines the concept of CAD, presents some CAD programs/systems, and explains the SHP file as well as its features. It explains why such an application is needed and who the target audience is. The central part of the application is developed in C++, while the graphical user interface is developed using web technologies (HTML, JavaScript, JQuery, JQuery UI). The connection between these two different technologies is achieved with the help of the QT development framework. The thesis also includes a description of the tools and technologies used in the development of the application.
