dear allies, i'm a relative newcomer to GRASS, so i appreciate your indulgence of any mistakes i make. i've searched the web pretty extensively, and come to the conclusion (though it's a bit opaque), based on documents dating from between 2003 and 2005, that this is the status of importing DWG data into GRASS:
1. v.in.dwg is the only module available 2. it can only be used by compiling from source 3. one has to use the old OpenDWG Toolkit, rather than the actively maintained DWGDirect, either of which require becoming an associate member of OpenDesign Alliance by faxing a contract (no $$) 4. the approach is to unarchive the Toolkit into a folder, and then to run ./configure like so: ./configure \ ... \ --with-opendwg \ --with-opendwg-includes=/home/usr1/opendwg27 \ --with-opendwg-libs=/home/usr1/opendwg27 5. and then to compile GRASS from scratch is this correct? will this process work with 6.2.2? is there any movement on using DWGDirect, which is the only way to be compatible with more recent versions of AutoCAD? thanks so much! .brush _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://grass.itc.it/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
