Proposed DDR Changes
Travis Wagner
Problems with DWG/DXF files via DDR
• Issues we have heard:– Current method of block creation causes
AutoCAD to crash when opening large areas (Utility & Planimetrics)
– Slow draw times– Clean up work on user end
• Any others we haven’t heard about?
Proposed Resolution
• Use different template that shows points as an “X” where they are still visible by changing PDMode = 3 and PDSize = 5
• For attribute data, export method as “extended entity data”
Extended Entity Data (EED)
• Benefits– Smaller file size (2 quarter sections: Planimetrics 1.54
MB vs 616 KB)– Does not create points as blocks– Still get attribute data
• Load .lsp file “eedcnvrt.lsp”• Gives you “eedconvert” command to create object
data from eed data• Creates a new table for the converted eed data • Ability to select exactly what features to extract from the
eed data and exactly what fields
– Cleaner files (no fme block to purge out or explode)
Thoughts
• Does the current method work for your organization?
• Would the proposed change benefit your organization?
• Discussion
Other DDR Topics
• How are you currently accessing DDR?– Via cities– Via public DDR interface

• Are there any other datasets that would benefit you from being accessible via DDR?
