Mapping from a AutoCad DWG file

Wed, 28 Sep 2016 16:10:57 GMT

We have a requirement to take a layout created in AutoCAD and overlay it on a map using a mapping extension. We have experimented heavily with NPGeoMap but the issue we have is that the Cad file contains information the mapping software cannot render. Has anyone had experience doing something similar?

Thanks

Hi Nick,

You already that IdevioMaps can do it, but I wanted to a leave a reference if someone else have the same question.

The Cad file needs to be in some kind of defined reference systems in order to be able to render.

It also help if the cad objects in the drawing contains a usable id field that can be used for indexing.

Thanks

For information, IDEVIO have further developed their GeoAnalystics connector so it can now import DXF files and place them directly onto the map. This process can be initiated just be reloading the application and placing the DXF into a given directory.

Hi Nick,

We created the DFX file from an AutoCAD 2015 DWG file

Hi Nick, Thanks for your reply. Can you please provide me the steps to import Autocad DWG file into Geo analytics.

Its not that simple. Like I said we worked with Idevio in order to do this. Idevio were sent our DXF's to which they then tweaked their GeoAnalytics connector to pull the lines and points from our DXF's.

Your best contacting Idevio as your DXF\DWG's may be incompatible.

QLIK has now purchased this connector now so I'm not sure whether they can still help!

Hi Nick and Nithin,

To import DXF files, use the "Load" operation in the connector.

Hi Patric,

I've tried with Pairing DXF file with qliksense.

1.) Installed Java SE

2.) Installed Geoanalytics Connector 5.8

3.) Installed Geoanalytics Plus

After installing all the applications i placed the downloaded extensions in specific paths. Later if i load the URL am getting this error

To access local files, use the file:.. url syntax:

file:///C:/Users/bps/Downloads/railways/

It was the same here, so think carefully before you try new features. Personally, I prefer to use help from softwaredeal.store which gives a real benefit to architects and design workers. I am sure you will find it to be an indispensable tool that will help you improve the quality of your 3d drawings and blueprints. For me, it works great, so I could not complain. On the contrary, I am delighted with the way it works and the possibilities it opens up for me.
