dwg2maptiles, quote and arrows size

Post by sfonta » Tue Sep 13, 2016 3:26 pm

Hi,
I'm using QCad professional under Linux platform.
I need to use command line tools (dwg2maptiles) to convert dwg to maptiles images, and view them in OpenLayers.
It work, but I've a problem with quotes and arrows size.

In "desktop" version, it is possible manage preferences in :
Edit > Drawing Preferences > Dimension Settings:

Screen Shot 2016-04-21 at 22.22.47.png (138.8 KiB) Viewed 3596 times
And all is working fine.

But.. how is possible to change and keep this configuration also in command line?

Now, dwg view is:
qcad_good.PNG
qcad_good.PNG (8.8 KiB) Viewed 3596 times
..but after translation: this is the result:
qcad_small.PNG
qcad_small.PNG (12.5 KiB) Viewed 3596 times
Tks,
Stefano

Thanks for your report.

I couldn't reproduce this problem here. Changing the dimension properties of a drawing also affects the output of dwg2maptiles with the drawings I've tried.

Could you attach of e-mail your drawing file, so I can try to reproduce the problem?
Also, please indicate what exact command line parameters you are using.

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.
This is my dwg file (test.dwg),
and this is command line to generate maptiles:

Code: Select all

./dwg2maptiles -z 6 /data/tmp/test.dwg
I want to work in a Linux server without grafical interface, oly with command line.
My question is: it is possible to pass parameter to manage quote size, without use graphical interface?

Thanks in advance,
Stefano

OK, I think I misunderstood your initial report.

Changing these settings automatically from the command line is currently not possible. Such a feature might be added to our dwg2dwg command line tool in the future to change DXF/DWG header variables of a drawing file.

Ok, thanks for your reply.
Unfortunatelly... I need this feature to work properly.
Do you have any idea about "when" this feature will be implemented?

Kind regards,
Stefano
