Hi! I am working on a replacement for v.in.dwg, since it depends on a proprietary library. I am using LibreDWG, a recent free software library that implements the OpenDWG spec. The module, v.in.redwg, is partially implemented, but I haven't figured out how to invoke it from GUI or CLI. I'd appreciate if anyone could help me with some information about this.<br>
<br>I think that the following message wasn't delivered to the list, so I am sending it again.<br><br>My best,<br>-- <br>Rodrigo Rodrigues da Silva<br>PoliGNU - Grupo de Estudos de Software Livre da Poli/USP<br>FSF Associate Member #7788<br>

Date: 2009/11/27<br>Subject: Free DWG support library<br>To: <a href="mailto:grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org">grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org</a><br><br><br>I ve noticed, from previous messages, that you have offered DWG conversion support as a module since 2003. I also know that you are aware of the legal implications of it. As a developer and maintainer for the project, and assuming you haven't heard of it yet, I d like to point you to LibreDWG, a free (as in free speech) library to handle DWG files. <br>
<br>We are currently in alpha stage (R13, R14 and R2000 read support only) but we are moving fast and a first test release is coming. Since our project is very recent, besides our testing SVG converter, there is no software using it yet. I would be glad to see GRASS using it in the near future, and offering the users the possibility of importing DWG files without having to download non-free software. If you have any doubts, please let me know.<br>
