Tools Developed
Customized tools and routines we have developed for GIS and CAD applications include:
1. A program that takes attributes off of a CAD point and puts them in a polygon in GIS. This can be extremely useful when converting CAD to GIS.2. A program that takes a GIS polygon dataset and writes it in AutoCAD without having overlapping lines result. The program reads the topology and renders it accurately in AutoCAD.
3. A ‘Zoom To ArcGIS from CAD/Zoom to CAD from ArcGIS’ program. If a user has both the CAD and GIS program open and makes a change in one program, this tool will allow the user to automatically zoom to the same spatial location in the other program.
4. A program to generate a custom grid with specific identifiers for each grid section.
5. A program that can separate out each RGB band and then recombine them when an image is reprojected from one coordinate system to another (where ERDAS is not available).
6. A tool that can take any data set (ArcLayer, AutoCAD), extract the features, and put them where they are supposed to be in the SDE structure (spatial data standard compliant).
