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] Landon ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mikel Maron Sent: Friday, August 15, 2008 7:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Geowanking] DWG and DWF CAD files .. anyopensourcereaders/converters 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).

Landon ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mikel Maron Sent: Saturday, August 09, 2008 8:09 AM To: [email protected]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Geowanking] DWG and DWF CAD files .. any opensourcereaders/converters 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. http://wrp.geothings.net/mapscans/warped/90 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. -Mikel ----- Original Message ---- From: Landon Blake <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, August 8, 2008 6:28:24 PM Subject: Re: [Geowanking] DWG and DWF CAD files .. any opensource readers/converters OpenJUMP currently has a plug-in that will read DXF files, if that will do the trick.
