It would be great if it were possible to import ESRI shapefiles and Google Earth kml or kmz files. I've gone out in the field a few times with a GPS camera or GPS device and recorded existing plant locations to add to a planting base. If it were possible to directly import those files into my drawing that would be great. The only issue I see is that GIS and Google Earth take into account the curvature of the earth and most CAD drawings are 2D which means depending on the size of the site there could/would be spatial distortion of the data points when brought into LandF/X (CAD). Right now I'm using either ArcMap or qGIS to convert the points to a dxf, bringing them into CAD, and then "rubber-sheeting" the best I can with regard to X and Y scales.
