Automated AutoCAD GIS export to Maricopa County DDMSW hydrology

I have finished the first version of the open source work-flow optimized application at AutoCAD Wiki.  It works like this:

Watch the 5-minute basic video
Watch the longer video for complex usage

Draw Polylines

Draw polylines representing all your sub-basins, all your TC paths, and your total basin.

Copy Polylines

Use DDMSWCOPY to make copies of your polylines where you will attach DDMSW GIS data as I described in an earlier post.

Command: DDMSWCOPY
Command: Select layer to toggle or Tc to continue [Rain (yes)/Sbas (yes)/Land (yes)/Soil (yes)/Tc] or <select objects>: TCopying Tc only. Select objects:26 selected. 2 filtered out.

  2. Shapefiles are like maps. They are different for every project. Are you asking for an example?

Spammers, don't waste your time. If you need honorable work, let's brainstorm. Do you see any spam comments here? No. That's because you won't get through. I personally review every comment.

Real folks, thanks for commenting!
