Proposed DDR Changes Travis Wagner
Problems with DWG/DXF files via DDR • Issues we have heard: • Current method of block creation causes AutoCAD to crash when opening large areas (Utility & Planimetrics) • Slow draw times • Clean up work on user end • Any others we haven’t heard about?
Proposed Resolution • Use different template that shows points as an “X” where they are still visible by changing PDMode = 3 and PDSize = 5 • For attribute data, export method as “extended entity data”
Extended Entity Data (EED) • Benefits • Smaller file size (2 quarter sections: Planimetrics 1.54 MB vs 616 KB) • Does not create points as blocks • Still get attribute data • Load .lsp file “eedcnvrt.lsp” • Gives you “eedconvert” command to create object data from eed data • Creates a new table for the converted eed data • Ability to select exactly what features to extract from the eed data and exactly what fields • Cleaner files (no fme block to purge out or explode)
Thoughts • Does the current method work for your organization? • Would the proposed change benefit your organization? • Discussion
Other DDR Topics • How are you currently accessing DDR? • Via cities • Via public DDR interface
