Understood.

 

Even if you shoot me a screen shot of the error with the stack trace,
that would help. You can send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

hi Landon

Unfortunately not. Turns out there's some very strong feelings about the
sharing of geographic data in Jordan, and we're not operating there at
this moment (we've moved to the West Bank).

Mikel,

 

Would you be willing to send me your DXF file so I can test it in
OpenJUMP?

 

Landon

Thanks for the advice everyone.

With a DXF in hand, I broke down and installed lx-Viewer on a windows
drive. 
That was able to export to PNG, which I uploaded to the MapWarper and
warped with GCP against Landsat. I used the WMS generated from that in
JOSM, and I know have a georeferenced image for tracing into
OpenStreetMap.

I tried OpenJump with the DXF plugin, but encountered a bug .. in the
file or the plugin I don't know.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Number of points must be 0 or >3


Also with CAD2Shape, another windows tool, was able to get some
Shapefiles exported.




A lot of places in the world use CAD for making maps. I'm not sure these
are always georeferenced at all. Converting this into something usable
for OpenStreetMap isn't straightforward, but something myself and a
couple others are looking at.

OpenJUMP currently has a plug-in that will read DXF files, if that will
do the trick.

There was one support for that in Jump; a user ported to code to uDig 
(but since it was GPL we did not end up distrubuting it). I would ask 
the OpenJump project to see if they know what happened to it...
