Four Dimension Technologies is pleased to announce the release of a
beta version of a GDF file viewer program which functions entirely
inside AutoCAD.
The GDF Viewer program is currently bundled along with our GeoTools
AutoCAD productivity program ( www.4d-technolgoies.com/geotools )
Read on for details:
GeoTools V 7.09 update:
Pick up this latest update from

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** Special announcement *** : GeoTools add-on module 'GDFViewer'
This update of GeoTools adds a completely new add-on module called
'GDFViewer' to GeoTools.
This is the first add-on module we are adding to GeoTools and the GDF
Viewer is available at an introductory price of USD 99.00 only and is
currently available for purchase only as an add-on module to GeoTools
i.e you will need to purchase a license of GeoTools in order to
purchase 'GDFViewer'.
The Geographic Data Files (GDF) are used to model road network data for
navigation purposes and is based on the European GDF format. Currently,
the viewer supports TeleAtlas variant of GDF files.
The GDF Viewer is a separately priced add-module to GeoTools and
contains a set of routines that can be used to view, query, analyze and
compare GDF files within the AutoCAD environment.
The GDF Viewer commands are available under a newly-created pull-down
menu within the GeoTools pull-down menu. Currently, the following
commands are available:
IG_IMPORTGDF : Import GDF file
ID_VIEWGDF : View/Query GDF objects selectively
ID_SECTEXTRACT : Extract GDF sections (useful to split-up huge GDF
data-sets)
ID_SEARCHGDF : Search GDF files for specific GDF objects
ID_GDFCOMPARE : Compare two GDF file structure (Record definition
only)
ID_COMPAN : Analyze Complex Features
ID_RELQRY : Query Relationship records
The GDF Viewer is still in development and there is a long way to go to
be able to handle all complexities of GDF data modelling. Your feedback
and comments are more welcome. What we have assembled here is our first
effort at understanding the GDF data format and trying to bring in that
data into the AutoCAD environment.
There are still some glitches and known and hidden bugs in the program
and we are attempting to refine and improve the program as much as our
schedule permits.
We will appreciate any ane every feedback, good and bad, about this
program, wishlists as well as about GDF files in general.
