Hello,
I have been managing CAD for MicroStation and ProejctWise systems at the Utilitiy I work for, and now am assisting with a review of bringing our old PowerMap up to date with Bentley Map. We use Smallworld GIS and the distribution team have requested that I ask some questions on their behalf.
Five years ago, Bentley had provided MDL and Macro customisations so that we could integrate with Smallworld via shapefiles I believe. My expectation today is that over five years any mechanism for interfacing to GIS systems would have vastely improved, negating the requirement for such customisations. We are particularily intersted in what import/extract functionality with smallworld is available.
Q. Do we have anyone here who has experience with exploring on the fly extracts from smallworld which will give better up to date data and streamline current tasks?
Some of the questions we will need to find answers to are;
We would greatly appreciate any feedback to these enquiries :)
Cheers, Colin Weber
