Hello Landon,<br><br>We created a dxf datastore for geotools but didn't submitted it to the geotools project yet. Because it's not fully tested. Perhaps this is a good moment to submit it? If you ask the same question on the geotools list (bcc to me) i'll answer with a link to the source download. Perhaps it will be added to the geotools project then.<br><br>Tia.<br><br>Roy Braam<br>B3partners BV<br><blockquote style="padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px; border-left: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 255); margin-right: 0px;"><hr><b>From:</b> Landon Blake [mailto:lblake@ksninc.com]<br><b>To:</b> OSGeo Discussions [mailto:discuss@lists.osgeo.org]<br><b>Sent:</b> Fri, 19 Feb 2010 17:10:45 +0100<br><b>Subject:</b> RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] How to use DXF and GeoTools?<br><br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">This type of question would be better for
the Geotools user or developer mailing list:</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">I don’t remember Geotools having
direct support for DXF. Perhaps one of the Geotools programmers can respond.
Otherwise, I would ask on the Geotools mailing list.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">I know that OpenJUMP has a couple of DXF
import plug-ins, so you could look at that source code. You might also check
out the open source Java library for DXF files named Kabeja:</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"><a href="http://kabeja.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">http://kabeja.sourceforge.net/</a></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Kabeja doesn’t directly support
conversion of DXF entities to a simple feature representation, but this could
be done with some work. If you decide to use Kabeja to create simple GIS
features, please let me know. This is something I am interested in implementing
and we might be able to work together on a simple library. If Geotools doesn’t
already have something similar I would be willing to submit it for approval as
a module.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hi folks!<br>
<br>
i've been completed my subscription few minutes ago in order to ask about DXF
and GeoTools.<br>
<br>
I would like to develop a GIS which gets DXF and manage this with differents
objects.<br>
I would like to use GeoTools, but I don't know how to load a DXF into a Java
Object.<br>
<br>
Is that possible with GeoTools? How can I do that?<br>
<br>
I'm grateful for some key or solution.<br>
<br>
Thx<br clear="all">
<br>

Tomás</span></font></p>
