PDC maintains this page in an effort to share resources among
GIS software users across the State of Virginia. GIS users can gain
substantial knowledge from each other. Often 'getting
the job done' is a matter of obtaining the right methodology
and/or scripts. And frequently, someone before you has
already spent the day frustrated in front of the monitor,
has derived a solution and is more than willing to share.
A compilation of scripts, extensions and other software is now available
from this site for GIS mapping, database development and map production. If you have
any questions regarding how to use these tools or how to download them, please see email me.
Also, if you would like to add a script that you use and think may be
helpful to others, click here. |

 |
sdts2arc.zip - same as sdts.aml above. The .exe file is for
ARC/INFO on NT. |
 |
sdts2dem.zip - This .exe file converts SDTS to DEM for use in GRID
and Spatial Analyst. |
 |
