[mapserver-users] avl files

[Fischer, Brian]

There is an ArcMap extension that is going to be released by us later this summer that will essentially convert an ArcMap .mxd to a mapfile or GeoMOOSE app.  So you could use ArcMap if you have it to import your .avl symbology and then export it to a mapfie.  We are not sure at this point if the software will be open source or sold at small shareware cost for the extension.

Dear Paul,

sorry, I'm the one who crimed Avein ages ago. I really forgot about that 
software.
Avein is made for use in ArcView GIs 3.x only, so you'll need this piece 
of software to run Avein. Undortunately Avein's last version goes on 
Mapserver v4.2 or so, which should'nt matter, but there are no 
opportunities for use of newer UMN functions.

Also AveiN! does not translate avl files, it is only made as an 
interface between ArcViwew 3 projects and UMN.
A newer version for ArcGIS called Amein! was made 4 years ago, there you 
can translate *some* of the symbols and patterns, but also not all. So 
the way to go (if softwarei s there() might be to use ameiN1, to iport 
the avl files into ArcGIs and try with that. Or forget about that and 
you try on your own :-)

Regards,
Till
