[solved] dwgmapconvert: converted dxf file have different extent

Post by pechnik » Mon Apr 05, 2021 3:45 pm

Hello,

After converting dxf file from custom CRS to 3857(web mercator), transformed dxf file have much more bigger extent then original.

Next, i need to generate tiles, but with such big extent, there will be a lot of extra tiles.

Code: Select all

dwgmapconvert -crs-out=EPSG:3857 -crs-in="PROJCS["unknown",GEOGCS["unknown", DATUM["Unknown_based_on_Krassovsky_1942_ellipsoid", SPHEROID["Krassovsky_1942",6378245,298.3], TOWGS84[23.57,-140.95,-79.8,0,0.35,0.79,-0.22]], PRIMEM["Greenwich",0], UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]], PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"], PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",0], PARAMETER["central_meridian",158.466667], PARAMETER["scale_factor",1], PARAMETER["false_easting",1400000], PARAMETER["false_northing",-5316586.442], UNIT["metre",1]]" -f -o transformed.dxf original.dxf
original dxf
transormed dxf

This drawing contains arc entities. For such drawings, segmentation must be used as an arc cannot be transformed reliably without breaking it up into line segments.

Please add the option for segmentation, for example:

Code: Select all

-segment-length=1
