Hello Ian,

Yes the existing File->Export Vector Data with CSV or Simple ASCII Text export
would work, or use the EXPORT_VECTOR command from a script.

Oops. Sorry Mike. I thought that was a one-to-one to me ... didn't look at
"from". Why should I try to do your job when you do it so much better :-)

Possible bug in 12.02. Point symbol set to "no symbol". Combination of fixed
text height in metres and rotation setting makes the text invisible.

I managed to get fixed height 44000m to display. 45000m didn't. Then when I
added rotation to it, I couldn't get 44000 to display either. Max with rotation
was 32000. I know there's a bug that's been fixed in GM 13. Label relative to
point position and label background fill mode was left at automatic. Is there a
limit on fixed size?


Carl

Is it possible to include the rotation info in any of the output options you
mentioned?

Ive been getting a "cannot find" message since last night.

Hello Hilton,

The server that site is on is being hit with a DOS (denial-of-service) attack
right now (target is another sute, but it is making the forum inaccessible as
well). Once that is over the site should be back up and running normally.

Guru:
   I am exporting to a PDF file.  Use "Crop to selected area feature" as the
export bounds but also choose the "Fill Page"  on the PDF options.
The resulting PDF is cropped to the selected area, but the page is not filled.
   If i immediately repeat the export to PDF operation, keep the "Fill Page"
option checked but this time for export bounds choose "resort to last exported
bounds"   the resulting PDF fills the page.... which is what I had anticipated
in the first export.  How should "Fill Page"  interact with "Crop to selected
area feature"

Thanks

dan

Hello gpsdan,

That is how I would expect the 'Crop to Selected Area' option to work. When you
use that open the data is cropped to that area so nothing from outside that area
will be used. There is a bit of a conflict here with the 'Fill Page' option
since there will be nothing to fill the page with outside the crop area, so they
try to do 2 different things. Your current workaround to repeat the export using
the last exported bounds will work. If this causes a lot of trouble I could
disable the actual cropping if the 'Fill Page' option is also checked and just
use the bounds of the area to initialize the export bounds.

Hello Hennie,

I replied to this on the globalmapperforum.com site as well. I went ahead and
handled the one place where the file could be reporting the wrong units along
with an EPSG code for the projection. I have placed a new build at
http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper13.zip with the latest changes for you
to try. Simply download that file and extract the contents into your existing
v13.xx installation folder to give it a try. If you are using the 64-bit v13
version there is a new build at
http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper13_64bit.zip .

Let me know if this fixes the problem.

Hi,

I am working with 2x different bathymetry set of files, they are both XYZ
but they come from different vendors and I would assume that they were
produced at different dates.

I need to use them both as they provide information for different areas but
they do overlap each other as well.

Now I have two questions:

Can I redefine the values in one so the transition between the two of them
is seamless? it appears that there is a 0.4m difference between the two of
them with respect to the definition of a 0m depth.
In other words I want one of the two to show a depth of 0.4m less at the
transition line and all its values to be adjusted accordingly.

Also, one more thingy which has always puzzled me but I am sure it is not
an issue.

In the scenario where 2x XYZ files overlap, or any elevation/bathymetry
files for that matter, which value does GM pick up when you extract a
profile? I always assumed that it would be the ones from the top of the two
files as they are layered. I just want a confirmation that that is the case.

Thanks for your time!

Kind Regards,

Hello Yiannis,

You are correct, when there are multiple overlapping terrain layers, the
elevation for a path profile will come from the topmost elevation layer with a
valid elevation at each location (assuming there isn't any blending going on).

To smoothly blend your overlapping data sets, you will want to enable feather
blending for the topmost layer. You can do this on the Feathering tab fo the
Options dialog for the layer. The size of the feather controls how far from the
edge to do the blend. You will want to make this smaller than the overlap size.
This should smoothly blend your data sets.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks,

Subject: [global_mapper] re defining/calibrating elevation layer 0 value


Hi,

I am working with 2x different bathymetry set of files, they are both XYZ
but they come from different vendors and I would assume that they were
produced at different dates.

I need to use them both as they provide information for different areas but
they do overlap each other as well.

Now I have two questions:

Can I redefine the values in one so the transition between the two of them
is seamless? it appears that there is a 0.4m difference between the two of
them with respect to the definition of a 0m depth.
In other words I want one of the two to show a depth of 0.4m less at the
transition line and all its values to be adjusted accordingly.

Also, one more thingy which has always puzzled me but I am sure it is not
an issue.

In the scenario where 2x XYZ files overlap, or any elevation/bathymetry
files for that matter, which value does GM pick up when you extract a
profile? I always assumed that it would be the ones from the top of the two
files as they are layered. I just want a confirmation that that is the case.

Thanks for your time!

Kind Regards,
Yiannis

that must be one the fastest responce ever.

what about the "alter elevation values" tab in the elevation options of the
file that I want to redifine?

Hello Yiannis,

You could use the Alter Elevations tab to adjust all elevation values in a layer
by some amount (0.4 in your case) to get them to match, but that would only work
if there was a consistent shift between the layers. If it varies at all you
would have a mis-match. The feather blending option is much better for smoothly
blending overlapping files in nearly all cases.

Hi. I'm having problems generating the filled area contours that I want. I don't
seem to be able to generate land colours (green) starting at sea level. The
shader always puts sea above sea level, even if "sea" is not defined in the
shader I'm using.
  The Custom shader I'm using is very simple. Sea level = 5486.4m.

5486.4 = Green
6486.4
7486.4
etc

In the contours gen dialog I set the min value of the elevation range to 5486.4
and tick the box "Start contours at min elevation.." I set contour interval at
200m. I have the Blend colurs between elevation values" ticked in the Config >
Shader options > custom shaders> edit dialog

  As I understand it, this should generate filled area contours starting at
5486.4m, at 200m intervals, blending between those colours specified in the
custom shader. But it doesn't, it always puts a blue colour above sea level-
green doesn't start until 5686m. What am I doing wrong?

Carl

Hello Carl,

You may be seeing a slight round-off issue or something. Can you try making your
base elevation just slightly above sea level, like 5486.41 m, and see if that
gives you what you want?

Hi, I've got a few questions please:
Is it possible to split all vertices that intersect with an area feature?
Is it possible to delete all features wiithin an area feature?
Is there any easy way to Select None? I have a map with lots of filled area
contours, so clicking on empty areas of the map only selects another feature.

I'm using GM 12.02,

Carl

Hello Carl,

In v13 there is an option in the Digitizer Tool to crop selected features to an
area and do things like split lines against an area. In v12 you would basically
have to do a crop to the area on export.

There are options under the Advanced Selection submenu of the right-click menu
of the Digitizer Tool to allow selecting features within an area.

If you press the Esc key that will clear your selection, or you can right-click
and there is a Clear Selection option.

Thanks,

Thanks, I'll be able to get by with 12 I think.

  Something else cropped up. Does simple ascii support point rotation info? It
hasn't been saved in the file. Is there any chance that you could add support
for point rotation information (for text rotation) to the simple ascii
import/export? We use a text masterfile for point info and we read/write to it
via a parser between GM and another app. We'd prefer to keep with a simple text
format if possible.

Hello Carl,

If you check the box to include style attributes when exporting you should get
the font rotation angle saved as a FONT_ANGLE attribute for the point features
with a rotated label. That same thing is also supported on import. See
http://www.globalmapper.com/helpv13/GenericASCIIFormat_FieldOptions.doc for more
description of the recognized fields.

Thanks Mike,...I notice that it doesn't include the attribute for those points
that don't have any rotation set, and those that I looked at in the export file
didn't have a rotation attribute, hence my not being able to find it.

Would it be possible to have a feature where you select two vertices (with z
values set), and GM auto linear interpolates the connected vertices between them
and assigns the z values? It would be really useful to be able to use rivers to
generate valleys/ height info in this way, for gridding. I know it's possible to
transfer z info from a dem to vectors, but often my terrain doesn't have the
valley info in there.

Thanks,
Carl
