[mapserver-users] [OFF-TOPIC]FreeGIS like ArcFamily

[Tyler Mitchell]

-The GDAL/OGR package can read numerous raster and vector formats and write
some of them as well. (http://www.remotesensing.org/gdal).
-OpenEV can by default edit/create shapefiles and view data using the above
mentioned libraries.  It can also create 3d views (simple drapes) over
elevation rasters!
-I'd love to learn more about TIN/DTM options you find
-I don't have any ideas around interpolation of point values except to
check out GRASS GIS which, I believe can do most of what you are looking
for.

is there any software or set of software, under the free-software, that
would be possible to:

- import data from CAD files( dxf, dgn)
- work on .SHAPEFILE format
- generates TIN/DTM
- generates 3D Visualization of DTM surfaces
- interpolation of point values

well, i think the right question may be: is there a way of
    using free-software for making the same results( or nearest) that ESRI
Arc* does?
