TRANSLATION NOTE: Please read the comments at the end of the post to clarify the real meaning of some terms. ——– A couple of days, at the warmth of a stick coffee (Spanish Idiom: “café de palo” a kind of coffee entirely prepared at home without any electrical artifact) made by my mother-in-law, we did some hallucinations on marked trends ...

Similar (not much) to what AutoDesk Civil 3D offers, Geopak is a series of Bentley applications for Civil Engineering for making works for surveying, digital terrain models, design of roads and some geotechnical tasks. Although we know, the latter will be catapulted after the acquisition of gINT Software. RunningGeopak Once installed, it is not created a particular icon for Geopak, ...

This week has been released the stable version of gvSIG 1.9, from which we had the RC1 in August and the Alpha version in December 2008. This version will possibly make history, because maturity is enough to promote it for municipal use, without being belittled by smallness made by ArcView 3x and not done by gvSIG 1.3. They have faithfully ...

A common desire to AutoCAD user is connecting to Google Earth, so as to be able to work on the image that toy has, but its accuracy is questionable, every day we find better material but it is useful rather than having nothing. Today we will see at least two alternatives to do so: A. With the ImportGEImage command This ...

For a moment I had my doubts, if Bentley was talking about a new format to replace the dgnV8, then, I thought it was a kind of compressed format like the kmz with Google Earth kml. Many months ago I did a post, wanting to assume the meaning of the “i” in the V8i, after the presentation made at the ...

TopoCAD is a basic but comprehensive solution for surveying, CAD drawing and engineering design, although it does more than that in a development that has taken more than 15 years after his birth in Sweden. Now it is all over the world in 12 languages and 70 countries but does not seem to have achieved a higher market segment. TopoCAD ...

Arivte.com is a community with much traffic that comes from Peru but its content has general interest in different civil engineering areas. It’s a little complicated to access issues, because of its hierarchical format with forum and subforums which affects in content’s dispersion; but once registered and when the thread is found, the goal is to take advantage of that ...

I spoke recently about what means in statistics to talk about software, specifically 11 programs which represents 50% of the visitors coming by keyword visits. It is difficult to give recommendations of which software is better, because it depends on the context (and the money) conditions, the more I can aspire is to write and give my impressions; to enable ...

Reviewing what now Geoweb Publisher V8i is, it is clear that this product has had too much evolution, but the logic remains, there is a big change from what it was a primitive tool for geo-engineers to publish their data in vector and what now is a proposal for geospatial purposes. I have received V8i version, I think to do ...

Dgn format has been very stable, many GIS / CAD programs recognize it but edit it natively has always been a privilege to Microstation although only it had been three variations of the format: GISD, V7 and V8. In the DWG format case, Microstation has managed to open and edit it natively, like all programs born under the IntelliCAD line. ...

It has already reached the new issue of AUGI World, with very interesting content, such as working with SketchUp, first steps with .NET and some with Revit. It has drawn my attention a kind of analogy made by Mark Kiker, regarding a destination choice suited to the election of a CAD tool. Although its orientation is more to design a ...

I have tried to keep this blog out of topics that lead to the subjectivity and cause the soul crisp because of individuals opinions (except football); views but live some years, work others, almost birth there and develop friendships with many native did that at least I devote a post to comment about the item. I am referring to Honduras’ ...

Formally it have been unveiled definite aspects of the scope and established dates for the release of gvSIG stable versions. It’s very valuable the answer for two basic questions: 1. When will it be released gvSIG 1.9? July 27, 2009 2. And when will be gvSIG 2.0 launched? September 15, 2009 We hope that the development effort will be geared ...

TRANSLATION NOTES: Please read some comments at the end of this post. I get a request from a friend in the land of the ‘patepluma’ (*) who is working on a road, apparently he has Land Desktop so we’ll go a little different because what I have is Civil 3D 2008, but who cares. Just for nostalgia, this was much ...

Long ago, this was done with Softdesk, it was another story, but in this case we will see how to do it using AutoDesk Civil 3D in six steps. 1. Surface Styles The styles are viewing geometry settings that are created in AutoCAD, where are defined the type of lines, colors, layers, smoothing curves or different conformations that the geometries ...

  Bentley Institute has announced a series of MicroStation certified courses with different subjects and specializations in the Bentley Training Centre of Mexico City. The courses are oriented to the different branches of the Bentley’s product line: Consultant Engineers, civil engineers, electrical engineers, structural engineers, surveyors, instrumentation engineers, professionals in Urbanism, GIS specialists, planning professionals, academics and students. This is ...

Bentley Systems Spain has announced a podcast for the official release of what has been called Power Civil for Spain; a Civil Engineering solution’s area leaned for Spanish market. What Power Civil for Spain is Power Civil, contains GeoPack’s required tools and other associated applications that solves major routines for civilian infrastructure design and implementation tasks. This include, among others: ...

Often we find maps in PDF format, which have been generated from a mapping program, so that is a vector format and we want to import it into ArcMap or AutoCAD. It is curious that being the pdf a well known format, which all export and even now has georeference properties none of popular mapping programs has developed import function ...
