[Geowanking] DWG and DWF CAD files .. any open sourcereaders/converters

[Landon Blake]

Mike,

 

I would recommend saving your DWG files as DXF files. Support for DXF
files is more widespread than support for DWG files.

Hi

I'm working with CAD files from the city of al Mafrak, Jordan. We're
looking at bringing their existing municipal data into OpenStreetMap.

Found Lx-Viewer [http://lx-viewer.sourceforge.net/] which looks like
just the thing. Only sticking point is that compiling Lx-Viewer requires
libraries from the "Open"DWG alliance [http://www.opendwg.org/]. Access
to those libraries requires a $250 membership fee.

Any other options or suggestions for an NGO working in a small city in
Jordan?

Thanks
Mikel
