INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRANSLATING MSD SUPPLIED GIS FILES IN DXF FORMAT INTO AutoCAD DRAWING FILE (dwg) FORMAT
All LOJIC data have the following projection characteristics: Projection: Kentucky State Plane, Zone: 3976(North), Datum: NAD83, Units: Feet, Spheroid: GRS1980 You are being supplied with a Diskette/CDROM from MSD. Typically, the Diskette/CDROM contains zip file of the product directory which contains the data as a file named combined.dxf and a zip file called dxftrans.zip which contains a shape definition file (msd2003.shx), renlayer.lsp and this documentation (dxfcombine_user). Use WinZIP, PkZIP or Stuffit Expander to uncompress the data. The combined.dxf file contains all exported LOJIC layers combined together into a single file which can be used directly with AutoCAD Release 14 and later. The data in the combined.dxf file is formatted for 1:100 scale mapping. The AutoLISP routine renlayer.lsp renames the ARC/INFO compatible layer names into more descriptive AutoCAD layer names and vice versa. Before starting, be sure to read the helpful hints below.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1) Use Windows Explorer to create a subdirectory called msddata on your hard drive or network drive. (DOS Instructions: For the sake of simplicity we will use the designation d: for the hard drive, e: for the CDROM drive, \msddata for the working subdirectory name, and d:\msddata as the path description).
DOS Instructions: D: cd\ mkdir \msddata
Use Windows Explorer to more to the new subdirectory.
DOS Instructions: cd \msddata
2) Use Windows Explorer to copy all of the files from the Diskette/CDROM into this directory.
DOS Instructions: copy e:*.* d:\msddata
Be sure to use the path name of the directory you created in step 1) above for the path d:\msddata. 3) The msd2003.shx file contains the shape definitions used by the complex linetypes and must be in the ACAD font directory or in the environment support path. If you are using Release 14 or newer, copy the complex linestyle shape definition file (msd2003.shx) to the AutoCAD fonts directory, or better yet, a directory on your AutoCAD support environment search path (SET ACAD=…). This file is necessary so that complex linetypes can be used instead of multiple entities as in prior versions. This allows entities, such as fence lines, to be symbolized as a single entity as opposed to multiple lines with an “X” block spaced periodically. 4) To load the combined.dxf file first, enter the path where the dxf data is located, using AutoCAD’s file:open window. The user should navigate to the subdirectory specified above and select the combined.dxf file. AutoCAD will import this file and automatically draw all of the lines, points, etc. to MSD/LOJIC default standards of color, weight and symbology. As mentioned earlier, the “renlayer.lsp” routine will rename the default layer names from ARC/INFO into more recognizable names. To use the routine type in (load “d:/msddata/renlayer”) at the AutoCAD Command: prompt. To execute the routine, type in renlayer. To change the layer names back to the default values, simply execute the routine again. NOTE: You must make sure to replace your existing renlayer.lsp file with the new one supplied with the new data, or the data tags will not work properly when used in autocad.
HELPFUL HINTS
This file is designed for AutoCAD Release 14 and later and will not work correctly for any versions prior to Release 14. AutoCAD needs to be set up as a new/blank drawing and no 3rd party software packages should be loaded. If the total area is broken into sections, it is advised that you create a drawing for each area. Later you may combine them by using the insert command in AutoCAD with the “*” option and inserting them at coordinate 0,0 with no rotation. If you have any questions or problems with the use of this .dxf file, contact Ken Bailey at (502) 540-6150 (baileyk@lojic.org) or Jane Poole (502) 540-6435 (poole@lojic.org) with LOJIC. 10/24/2003 dxfcombine_user.doc Page: 1 of 4
