[mapguide-users] Is there any way to conver dwg files to sdf?

[Chris Gountanis]

Well getting DETE to work had something to do with uninstalling Studio (registered), removing folders manually, rebooting and reinstalling Studio clean. 

I am not sure how I got mine to work but this is what I did:
1. Uninstalled Studio
2. Rebooted
3. Make sure DETE is not running in ps -e
4. Installed Studio (registered version not sure if that matters)
5. Before the service pack 1 and 1a I tried loading a DWG and it worked!
6. Installed Service pack 1 and then 1a (so I could author on MGOS) and it still worked.

So you can see not sure what fixed it but that is what worked for me.



I have found at if you have Windows XP SP2 "System Restore" disabled or completely removed from the installer (using nLite or something) this causes Studio install to fail as well. I am sure it is a problem with the installer.

Dear champingfor,

As you describe i think it would be one way to use tools like SDFLOADER. Or have you an AutoCAD Map available ? There you can save direct to SDF ...

I think the DETE problem is very often - and as we have seen for me it seems to depend on the configuration of your OS ... So i think no real chance to get through ;-)

Hi,buddy!

	Is there any way to conver DWG files to SDF format, so the data can be used in MapGuide Server?
	
	As you know, there are a lot of data using DWG format in the past year's enginerring work career. In oder to reuse the data in MapGuide, Maybe you should load the DWG file into MapGuide server using MapGuide Studio .BUT, when I load the dwg file using the Studio, I always get the error message "initalize DETE failed. ", and I found the fact that many other guys get the same error. I reinstall all the MapGuide Serve and Studio many times and it did not work. If you know how to solve this problem,please tell me how. Many appreciate!

	So,since there is no way to solve the DETE problem, Is is possible to find another way to reuse the DWG data? Maybe just like preversion of MapGuide(6.5), using the tool --sdfloader to conver the dwg file to sdf? where can I get the tool? Will it be OK to conver the DWG file to Sdf  which created by AutoCAD 2002 or latter version ?

	If you have another way to reuse you DWG data in MapGuide, please don't hesitate to share your thought.

	Thanks!
