[Geomoose-users] Labeling

[Jacob Rodel]

Thanks for the feedback bob!  I see in the plotter manager in AutoCad
you can set it up to print to tiff or jpeg.  Is that what you are
talking about?  Then just add it as a normal raster file?

Jacob, 

 

Well, we (I mean "I") cheated a little on this one. 

 

While our GeoMoose interface will generate most layersfor the Whole
City, it's best if you zoom in to a spot on the map somewhere to get an
idea of the detail our method enabled us to publish. 

 

In this GeoMoose instance:
http://gis.ci.stpaul.mn.us/gis/gismo_public/html/
<http://gis.ci.stpaul.mn.us/gis/gismo_public/html/>   under the Geodetic
& Control Points  >>  Plat (Property) Lines. 

 

We generated a raster tileset output from AutoCAD to represent our
Platted (survey) linework, complete with all labeling and dimensioning.
This allows us to use the CAD (AutoCAD) product to control the
cartography elements and not require us to replicate the same
cartography in the Web publishing process.  This has worked out for us
for more then ten years now. 

 

We generally update the tiles every few months.  But I'm in the middle
of building an AutoCAD autoupdate routine for incrmentally updating the
tiles on the GeoMoose site as they are edited.  The longer our system is
in place, the more features folks start to ask for, and currency of data
is become a major user need/desire.

I know this is more of a mapserver thing but I was just wondering what
other people were doing.  We manage all of our parcel dimensions, lot
numbers, ect. in AutoCad.  From what I understand in order to get them
in my Geomoose application I have to convert to Geodatabase and then
label by the textstring field.  Is this similar to what other people are
doing or is there a better way?  Thanks!
