[Geomoose-users] Help; is there anybody that knows how to use a DFX or KML in Geomoose?

[Brent Fraser]

Behr,

   I've used DXF with GeoMoose.    Likely your version of Mapserver has 
the capabilities built in.  Try something like I did by setting up a 
mapserver mapsource with a map file containing a layer definition like:

   LAYER
     NAME 'Alberta'
     STATUS on
     TYPE LINE

     CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
     CONNECTION 'T:\GeoData\Parcels\Alberta\brooks.dxf' # entities'
     PROJECTION
         'init=epsg:3403'
     END
     STYLEITEM 'AUTO'
     CLASS
        NAME 'Rural DXF'
     END
   END

Typical problems relate to the coordinates stored in the DXF files 
(sometimes "local" coordinate systems are used).

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser
