| 20:00.38 | brlcad | like "don't do it"? |
| 20:00.39 | brlcad | :) |
| 20:02.31 | Phurl | brlcad, like that sure |
| 20:02.49 | brlcad | supporting any proprietary format is a waste of effort in the long term, in my not so humble opinion |
| 20:03.39 | brlcad | pushing more towards even something as complex as STEP is reusable effort that can be collaborated on |
| 20:04.25 | brlcad | and a common format that pretty much every major vendor supports (albeit to varying degrees but then the same can be said for dwg) |
| 20:06.33 | Phurl | STEP? |
| 20:06.37 | Phurl | ok well i understand you |
| 20:06.50 | Phurl | but right now i am waiting for someone to convert a file for me |
| 20:06.53 | Phurl | to dxf |
| 20:06.57 | brlcad | moreover, given the open design alliance's own legal problems making a dwg library, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if a fully-functioning DWG library wouldn't get Autodesk's attention as it actually became useful |
| 20:07.14 | Phurl | maybe |
| 20:07.18 | Phurl | well the lib is thre |
| 20:07.23 | Phurl | it seems to work |
| 20:07.38 | brlcad | i highly doubt it's fully-functioning :) |
| 20:07.48 | brlcad | the format is a mess |
| 20:07.58 | brlcad | particularly if you want to support previous versions |
| 20:08.06 | ``Erik | qga density file: is the first number the GIFT id? |
| 20:08.22 | ``Erik | finds the lack of format description disturbing |
| 20:08.22 | ``Erik | :D |
| 20:08.40 | brlcad | ``Erik: yeah, first number is the material id |
| 20:08.47 | brlcad | GIFTmater in old parlance |
| 20:09.29 | brlcad | rtweight's manpage summarizes the format in a sentence |
| 20:09.34 | ``Erik | supposes the qga page |
| 20:09.36 | ``Erik | ok |
| 20:10.04 | brlcad | "The file must contain lines with the material number, density in g/cc, and material name, each seperated by some white space. |
| 20:10.12 | brlcad | it pretty much is that simple too |
| 20:11.03 | ``Erik | is it legal to put a comment on a content line? 42 0.1113 unobtanium # sure wish we had this |
| 20:11.32 | brlcad | not that it explains details like the face that # comments are allowed (which is 'relatively' new), numbers must be non-negative (also newish), material name can have spaces (except for one or two old revs where that was busted), etc |
| 20:11.42 | brlcad | dunno about that case |
| 20:11.56 | brlcad | probably needs a density.5 manual page for the format |
| 20:12.03 | Phurl | ok brlcad thanks for your advice |
| 20:12.05 | ``Erik | for both formats, mebbe |
| 20:12.09 | brlcad | except that the file is going away |
| 20:12.22 | brlcad | Phurl: no problem, good luck -- will definitely keep an eye out for your lib |
| 20:12.24 | ``Erik | yeh |
| 20:12.27 | brlcad | Phurl: what's the license |
| 20:12.35 | brlcad | and how was it developed? |
| 20:12.35 | Phurl | let me see |
| 20:12.40 | Phurl | it is not my lib |
| 20:12.43 | brlcad | ah |
| 20:12.45 | Phurl | i have just done some hacks |
| 20:12.59 | Phurl | the libredwg is here |
| 20:13.22 | Phurl | https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/libredwg/ |
| 20:13.28 | Phurl | gpl 3.0+ |
| 20:13.41 | brlcad | so it's useless to our project regardless |
| 20:14.14 | brlcad | GPL is nfg, too restrictive for practical use, we're LGPL/BSD or similar |
| 20:14.16 | Phurl | my fork of dime to convert dxf into osm is on github (two nickelts) |
| 20:14.32 | ``Erik | unless it's an optional that requires the library installed by a third party, like the pro/e converter |
| 20:14.36 | Phurl | ok well brlcad even if you have a command line tool dwg2dxf or whatever |
| 20:14.50 | Phurl | you just need a simple tool to convert the files |
| 20:14.53 | brlcad | it'd have to be separate from the package, yeah |
| 20:15.01 | Phurl | it could use any bsd headers from you |
| 20:15.07 | brlcad | it's own lil thing |
| 20:15.11 | Phurl | and convert the files into your format |
| 20:15.13 | Phurl | yeah |
| 20:15.22 | Phurl | it would be possible to use your headers in that code |
| 20:15.27 | Phurl | just not the other way around |
| 20:15.29 | brlcad | those are just less than ideal, and still .. wasted effort for what should be a dying format |
| 20:15.34 | Phurl | of course |
| 20:15.40 | Phurl | well i am working on openstreetmap |
| 20:15.50 | Phurl | and the governments of the world give us dwg files |
| 20:16.06 | Phurl | say : freedom of information, here are your city maps |
| 20:16.11 | Phurl | so we have to deal with that |
| 20:16.18 | Phurl | we cannot force them to use thier brains |
| 20:16.22 | brlcad | that's the same issue as .doc files, they only use them because that's all they know |
| 20:16.33 | Phurl | that would be illegal for goverment officials to be clued in or helpful |
| 20:16.34 | brlcad | not because there's nothing better nor because they can't use something else |
| 20:16.43 | ``Erik | heh |
| 20:17.00 | ``Erik | some of us gov't folk are clued in and some of us try to do the right thing once in a while O:-) |
| 20:17.23 | Phurl | :) |
| 20:17.29 | Phurl | well what about in a small town in brasil |
| 20:17.31 | Phurl | or kosovo |
| 20:17.35 | brlcad | Phurl: you can very often force a government to change when one is an international standard and one is not |
| 20:17.51 | ``Erik | try asking for one of a specified set of formats? |
| 20:17.52 | Phurl | yes, maybe in a modern country |
| 20:17.52 | brlcad | hence the ISO 10303 "STEP" format |
| 20:18.13 | brlcad | somewhat expensive to acquire but supported by nearly every major CAD system |
| 20:18.19 | brlcad | for that very reason |
| 20:18.20 | ``Erik | I mean, if they try to give out something good and get "can I have that in an autocad format?" 99.999% of the time, they'll just start giving out the autocad format without asking |
| 20:18.23 | Phurl | well, i have just found someone who has autocad to convert the file |
| 20:18.23 | brlcad | it's ISO |
| 20:18.39 | Phurl | ok guys |
| 20:18.49 | Phurl | it is nice to talk with you, thanks for your advice |
| 20:18.53 | brlcad | Phurl: sorry to not be more helpful :) |
| 20:18.58 | ``Erik | good luck, phurl :) |
| 20:19.07 | brlcad | yep, cheers |
| 20:20.32 | ``Erik | hm, parrot.com O.o |
| 20:24.11 | Phurl | parrot? |
| 20:24.30 | Phurl | brlcad, no its ok. i see the autocad thing in the same way |
| 20:24.41 | Phurl | but i was able to hack the dxf convert to do what i want to do |

| 23:37.48 | starseeker | ``Erik: what did you mean when you said the problem you were seeing went back for years? |
| 23:38.26 | brlcad | not saying he didn't find/fix a problem, just not understanding it |
| 23:38.57 | brlcad | certainly not necessary to get the regressions working again (because they were working), but perhaps just another problem fixed while investigating |
