Quick Tour IV - GIS/CAD Export
This Quick Tour is a step-by-step tutorial in which you
learn how to export data from SKI-Pro to a GIS or CAD
System using the DXF format.
The GIS/CAD Export requires a DXF-header file. A DXF-
header file can be created in your CAD package and
contains all block and attribute definitions, layer defini-
tions, line styles, drawing extents and other settings
needed by your GIS/CAD program in order to convert the
DXF file into a drawing file. The DXF header file should be
based on your GIS/CAD template file such that it contains
all definitions that you work with. For information on how
to create a DXF-header file please refer to the documen-
tation of your GIS/CAD software package.
To complete this exercise a DXF-header sample file is
already copied to your harddisk with the installation of
SKI-Pro.
This exercise assumes that your green soft-
ware protection dongle is connected and the
option GIS/CAD Export is activated.
Before you start with this Quick Tour make
sure that you have already imported the real
time sample data into SKI-Pro as explained in
Quick Tour I - Real Time.
