How to order a CAD map

Ordering a CAD map takes about 1 minute. Search for your property, register and preview your location. Then pay and download your map. You can then print it out if you need to.



How do you create a site or location map in CAD?

First you need to sign up for an account using your email and a password or login using your existing account. Then you need to search for the location that you want using the postcode, eastings/northings or latitude/longitude information of your area. After you have selected your area and previewed it on the website you need to add the correct size in your basket. When the map is in your basket, click under ‘format’. You can select DWG (for CAD) and check out. Your map will be ready to download within seconds.

What does CAD stand for and what does it do?

CAD stands for "computer-aided design." CAD is a type of software that is used to create, modify, analyse, and optimise designs for a wide range of products, structures, and systems. CAD software allows designers and engineers to create detailed digital representations of their designs, which can then be used to visualise and test how the final project will look and function. This can help reduce errors, improve efficiency, and save time and money in the design process. It is widely used in the building environment by many professionals including architects, engineers, surveyors and many more.

How long does my CAD map’s license last for?

Map data from the Ordnance Survey is not for sale; rather, it is licensed through a supplier such as BuyAPlan®. Any digital mapping purchased through BuyAPlan® includes a one-year license. Please contact us if you need your license extended.
