Re: 2-D CAD/CAM



I have done the Canadian map symbols PDF, because translating PDFs into
SVG is pretty painless. I haven't done the road colours, because without
arbitrary rotation they seem a bit useless, but I've included the shield
symbols.

It's at http://public.logica.com/~redferni/dia/

If anyone has any other PDFs they would like translating into Dia
shapes, let me know.

below is a response to a message on the Sodipodi list As Dia is more

I was thinking maybe i will have time to produce more shapes soon.

If you feel like making slightly less serious shapes, I was thinking
about maps shapes (interstate, highway etc) and military shapes
(infantry/tank/artillery etc).

Ooh Tanks, got any example bitmaps?  Ill get drawing today and tommorow.

The military symbols: http://www.army.mil/cmh-pg/books/korea/ebb/sym.htm

Map symbols: The more complex ones, for topographical maps, are described
at http://mac.usgs.gov/mac/isb/pubs/booklets/symbols/ I was thinking more
like http://www.mtq.gouv.qc.ca/carte_routiere/PDF/legende_en.pdf (Canadian)
or its US equivalent (which I haven't found yet).

I have been thinking about doing map shapes but i think i need to be able
to click objects to objects (rather than using just grid alignment)
before i could do nicely tiled maps.  (i have not given this a lot of
thought, i just dont immediately see how i could produce really nice maps
in Dia).

I hope to get a demo copy of Visio in the next day or two so i will be
able to study the inteface and provide some example files.
Do we have anywhere to store files?  an archive/gallery or do we just
attach files to bug reports?

There's a visio directory in the dia-web CVS, I've been putting random
samples in there.
