There are some preliminary results on the module I've been writing. It is a DWG file (http://www.naval.com/drawings/dwg/PRA430d.dwg - there's a PDF too) that we've been using with testSVG, rendered with GRASS's nviz module. I think that it looks a bit aliased, maybe because GRASS is tuned for larger orders of magnitude (kilometers) by default, and not circuit boards (centimeters) -- I'm just wondering, I'm not a GRASS user nor a SIG specialist. I need to test it with a proper DWG file or change some configurations.
I'll submit it as soon as I get the INSERTs and BLOCKs working. Rodrigo. 2009/12/17 Rodrigo Rodrigues da Silva <[email protected]>: > Hi!
