Great, thanks for clearing that up!

Hi John,

The temppath and usetmp options are only used for generating large SPD files as the whole file can't be loaded into memory for indexing. Where a format doesn't support indexing these options are not available or if the file is small enough to fit into memory then it is faster not to provide them.

I am working on documenting SPDLib in more detail and there are more details about the options on spdtranslate available here (starting page 15) https://bitbucket.org/petebunting/spdlib-documentation/downloads

Thanks for the comments about the error message and I have updated it and pushed to bitbucket.

Best wishes,

Pete

Hi Dan,

Ok, I realize the issue now.  It works if I run:

spdtranslate -i SPD -o ASCII inspdfile.spd outascfile.asc

But if I use:

spdtranslate --usetmp --temppath /tmp/ -i SPD -o ASCII inspdfile.spd
outascfile.asc

It returns the misleading output:  "Error: This converter only supports
conversion to the SPD format."

Perhaps the usetmp/temppath flags are outdated? Though they don't
produce errors for the reverse case (e.g. spdtranslate -i LAS -o SPD).

Thanks for your help.

John

Hi John,

What error is it producing? I tried:

spdtranslate --if SPD --of ASCII -i inspdfile.spd -o outasciifile.asc

and it produced an ASCII file without issues on my machine (using the
latest version of SPDLib from the mercurial repository).

Thanks,

Dan

Hello everyone,

I am trying to convert SPD files to LAS or ASCII/TXT/CSV files. It
looks like this is not implemented in spdtranslate (using "-o LAS" or
"-o ASCII" fails).  I am trying to get discrete points classified with
SPDLib utilities, out of the spd format -- is there a way to do this,
either with the utilities or a C++/python solution?  Thanks!

Cheers,
John
