This is the first release in the Be Inspired format, of what once were the Bentley Empowered (BE Awards). From thematic axes they have become to best practices, focusing more on the relevance of the process itself. Bentley has already issued the formal list of winners; I will put my efforts in nothing more than the chronicle. The ceremony was ...

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 ...

The price is in the box, the cost in our motivation, the utility in the use we give it, the value in our appreciation. This is a rather sensitive issue depending on the point of view of the one who is giving his opinion, on what he works at, and on the one who pays their expenses; usually we associate ...

We often face the problem of working within the limits of the UTM zone, having a lot of problems (Spanish Idiom: “ver a palitos” to have a problem of difficult solving) because the coordinates do not work there. The reason of the problem Some time ago I explained how the UTM, coordinates operate, here I will only focus on the ...

Reading the dgn format is a standard in most of GIS or CAD programs, but several of these software (including Manifold GIS and gvSIG) are still reading the V7 format. AutoCAD and ArcGIS have already achieved it. Let’s see how Global Mapper does it: 1. Reading dgn V7 It is interesting that files can be in a compressed archive of ...

As far as we now, there is no program (not yet) that can download Google Earth’s streets in vector format. Although this task can be done using Open Street Maps; what a pity! it doesn’t exist all the cities in this software. But if someone is interested in Google Earth’s streets; the solution would be first, downloading them like images, ...

There are many myths about it, since some who claim to see the female neighbor bronzing nude to those who find no difference between the versions. Let’s see if we speak from this topic with a couple of examples: 1. Yes, there is difference in resolution What happens is that the difference in resolution is for output purposes, if you ...

Many users of the old guard did not like much the Ribbon style design of AutoCAD 2009 menus, but not worth much kicking. It’s only a problem of neuronal disorientation, just as when we were working on a different drawing board, where the basic tools were not in the same disorder as ours. It happened with Office 2007 and now ...

Very few times we have seen an offer in the GIS area as the one offered by Sinfogeo. The opportunity is not only to learn but for specialists, which can track students and build online training manuals. Being online it can be taken from anywhere in the world, but are available in classroom (in Spain). They are not free, nothing ...

Some time ago, the digitizing tables were the output for vectorizing print maps; then the scanner arrived to the office, although the task does not just apply to scanned maps, but for others that were converted to image or pdf and for the ones which we don’t have vector format. The procedure that I am going to show will use ...

If gvSIG friends fulfilled their promise, next Monday July 27th we will have the 1.9 stable version. So far the test has been great, according to the perceived volume of distribution lists. While waiting on Monday, by which time I hope to have the satisfaction of congratulating the performance of speech, at the cost of surely sleeplessness developers, let’s take ...

PhotoModeler is an application of EOS System, created with the LeadTools SDK, the best I’ve seen, you can create 3D objects and scenes from photographs with the technique called photo modeling. Before I spoke of a mdl that works with Microstation, but in this case we are talking of a complete program that apart from the modeling includes scanner functionality. ...

TRANSLATION NOTES: Please read some comments at the end of this post. I just spoke to a technician, the kind that only calls when it’s a terrible situation (*) and presented me this problem: I have the view, but note that it does not have in the bottom part, the zoom controls, the mound of fit view, nor the inferior ...

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 ...

TRANSLATION NOTES: Please read some comments at the end of this post. It is called in that way GIS tools action of eliminate vectors inconsistencies to commonly accepted standards in the spatial topology. Each tool has been implemented in their own way; consider the case of Bentley Map and Manifold GIS. Microstation Geographics Microstation includes two tools for the same, ...

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. ...
