[postgis-users] How are you editing data in PostGIS?

Hi Mark,

I earlier developed an AutoCAD Map VBA application that can import data =
from AcadMap into PostGIS using ODBC/ADO
The application reads a configuration file, which can be customized via =
GUI. This lets you set up the mapping between AutoCAD layers and most =
AutoCAD specific graphical attributes to PostgreSQL/PostGIS =
tables/columns. You can also configure mapping of object data.

As an FME user I figured I soon wont need this anymore since FME now =
supports PostGIS, but FME doesn't yet support AutoCAD Map Object Data, =
ufortunately.

If you're interested I can send you a snapshot of the GUI and also the =
.bas files for you to try out. It was developed for PostgreSQL 7.2.x, =
but shouldn't require much work, if any, to work with 7.3

I have also developed a check-in / check-out VBA application in AutoCAD =
Map. I was planning to do this as a true/live editing client to PostGIS, =
but the event handlers in AutoCAD Map were just too unstable so I gave =
up. Instead my application can check out an user specified area (either =
by box, or other means) and then store all identifiers of checked out =
objects in a separate table. During check-in the data is compared to =
that table, and any new objects, deleted objects, updated objects, are =
detected. New and deleted objects were easy, but we had to compromise =
for the updated objects, telling the operators to insert a code to =
indicate update in an AutoCAD object data field.
This application is not that generic, and it's based on the now obsolete =
RDO. But if people are interested I might spend a day or two to shine it =
up and try to make it more reusable.

regards,
  erik brenn
