GeoTools V 11.09 has been released today.
We have added a new command called GT_EXPLODE2LAYER under the Block Tools. This command is used to explode blocks into a specified layer. It was born out of a request from a veteran GeoTools user from Mali who said that it would be nice if there was a better way to process the multiple drawings inserted using the GT_MULTINS command. If each one of those imported drawings (blocks) would go into their own specific layers, it would make management of the overall DWG data easier. We created GT_EXPLODE2LAYER command to do this.
Late last month, we released V 11.08 of GeoTools in which we added yet another new command called GT_HNDLABEL, under the Annotation Tools. This was again a request coming from a user in Australia.
GT_HNDLABEL enables you to visually 'see' the object handles, and create a text label of the object handle next to each object. You can label object handles for lines, points, blocks, polylines, arcs and splines. The labels are created in the GeoTools temporary layer 'GEOTOOLS_TEMP'.
This command was created in conjunction with the update to the GT_IMPEX command which allows object handles to be part of the exported data for lines and points. When used with GT_HNDLABEL, this is a useful combo tool to correlate GT_IMPEX export records with the drawing object.
As you can see, your feedback really counts and matters. Tell us what you need and help us make GeoTools better, for you, us and all other users.
