All your surveying, on your Mac.
The first and only surveying suite for macOS in the world — with the same three modules as the Windows edition, directly inside iCADMac / IntelliCAD, native on Apple Silicon.

The first surveying suite for macOS — now complete
Topo Tools is the first and only suite of specialised surveying commands for macOS in the world. It installs inside iCADMac and adds its own ribbon with surveying, cadastre and earthworks tools — it is not a separate program. You work on your Mac, with your data georeferenced in GGRS87.
The Mac edition is now on par with the Windows edition: live maps inside the drawing, georeferencing of Google imagery directly in HEPOS, Hellenic Cadastre orthophotos for all of Greece, KAEK with vertical properties, automatic Geometric Change Diagrams and volume calculations with professional reports.
It consists of three independent modules — Surveying, DGM and Terrain — licensed separately but sharing the same logic and the same coordinate systems. Built for the Greek reality, with a Greek interface and support.
- Runs inside iCADMac / IntelliCAD
- Native on Apple Silicon — no Parallels, Boot Camp or Windows
- The same 120+ commands as the Windows edition
- Online license check — offline for up to 7 days
- Signed .pkg installer & automatic updates
On Windows? The same Topo Tools runs on AutoCAD, ZWCAD, GstarCAD, BricsCAD & progeCAD — topotools.xyz.
Why Topo Tools for Mac
Reasons it stands apart from generic tools, manual workflows or Windows in a virtual machine.
A world first
The first suite of specialised surveying commands that runs natively on macOS — not through Windows in a virtual machine.
On par with Windows
Surveying, DGM and Terrain with the same commands and the same results as the Windows edition.
Unique features
Live maps, Google → HEPOS, Hellenic Cadastre orthophotos online, KAEK with vertical properties, automatic DGMs.
Inside iCADMac
No external program — its own ribbon & commands in the CAD you already use on your Mac.
Built for the Greek market
KAEK, forest maps, GGRS87/HATT/TM3, DGM, TEE digital map — all built for Greek data.
Three modules, one logic
Shared coordinate systems & data. Combine them freely or take just one.
Native Apple Silicon
Makes full use of M1/M2/M3/M4 — maximum speed, minimum power consumption.
Easy install & updates
A signed, Apple-notarized .pkg and one-click online updates, directly from CAD.
Secure licensing
License per module, with an online check at every start-up and offline work for up to 7 days — no .lic files.
Surveying — your everyday work
Bring maps, orthophotos and cadastral data into the drawing, work with GGRS87 coordinates and finish the drafting — all georeferenced, inside iCADMac.

Things only Topo Tools does
Capabilities you won't find in any other surveying program — let alone on a Mac.
Google → HEPOS, not only GGRS87
Brings georeferenced imagery directly into the HEPOS system — not just GGRS87 (EPSG:2100) — with self-learning calibration from field measurements.
Hellenic Cadastre orthophotos, everywhere in Greece
Live import of Hellenic Cadastre orthophotos with flawless georeferencing across Greece — in the right place, without 1–2 metre offsets.
KAEK + exclusive uses (vertical properties)
We don't just bring KAEK parcels · we also bring the exclusive uses — vertical properties — straight from the Cadastre into CAD.
TEE Unified Digital Map — Vector & Raster automatically
Automatically brings vector data and digital diagrams (raster) from the TEE Unified Digital Map, georeferenced inside the drawing — without leaving the software or downloading files.
The whole country in seconds — Raster & Vector
With the TT_SDIGMAP command you connect directly to the TEE Unified Digital Map and bring into iCADMac digital diagrams (Raster) and vector data (Vector), georeferenced and ready — for any area of Greece.
Raster digital diagrams
Scanned surveys & diagrams (Government Gazette, planning acts) come in with one click — automatic georeferencing in the right place.

Everything you want to know
Does it work on my Mac?
Yes. Topo Tools integrates directly into iCADMac (IntelliCAD for macOS) with its own ribbon and commands, and runs natively on Apple Silicon — no Parallels, Boot Camp or Windows.
Does it have the same features as the Windows edition?
Yes. The Mac edition is now on par with the Windows edition: Surveying, Geometric Change Diagrams (DGM) and Terrain, with the same commands and the same coordinate systems.
How is it installed?
With a signed, Apple-notarized .pkg package: double-click it and the installer takes care of everything it needs (e.g. Python 3.13) and adds the ribbon to iCADMac.
Can I buy just one module?
Absolutely. Each module is licensed separately at €800 + VAT; all three together cost €2,000 + VAT. If you only license one, the others simply stay inactive and do not affect anything.
Do I need a permanent internet connection?
Not permanent. The license is checked online at every start-up; if there is no connection at that moment, the program keeps working offline for a limited grace period (up to 7 days from the last successful check). Internet is also needed for live maps, orthophotos, KAEK and updates.
Do I need to send my Mac's Hardware UUID?
Not any more. The Mac identifier is read automatically by the activation window — no Terminal and no .lic file needed.
Does it support the Greek coordinate systems?
Yes — GGRS87/TM87, TM3 (Transverse Mercator 3°), HATT (387+ sheets), HEPOS and WGS84, with high-accuracy two-way transformations.
Does it produce a DGM ready for submission?
The DGM module automates the production of diagrams & tables, runs topology/completeness checks and creates a digitally signed ZIP package ready for submission.
Is there a Windows version?
Yes — for AutoCAD, ZWCAD, GstarCAD, BricsCAD and progeCAD. See topotools.xyz.
