KDMS is a collection of programs designed to allow rapid and easy
collection, processing, plotting, and translation of geographic data. The
system supports digitized input from virtually all analog and analytical
stereoplotters and a variety of tablets. The powerful automatic and
interactive editing capabilities greatly simplify and speed up the editing
phase of a mapping project. Optional database translators allow for the
conversion of KDMS files to a variety of other CAD and geographic
information system formats. Using KDMS, scribed or inked plots can be
configured exactly to meet customer specifications.
GEOGRAPHIC DATA COLLECTION
KDMS facilitates both 2-D or 3-D geographic data collection. The powerful
automatic and interactive editing capabilities of KDMS greatly simplify
and speed up the editing phase of a mapping project. Optional database
translators allow for the conversion of KDMS files to a variety of other
CAD and geographic information system formats.
GEOGRAPHIC DATA PROCESSING
Foremost among KDMS features are the automatic and interactive editing
programs. Automatic editing involves the use of support files that define
the editing processes, so no special operator intervention is required.
Interactive editing allows the operator to perform editing operations at
any time during compilation or digitizing. The interactive editing
operations are similar to the digitizing process itself.
AUTOMATIC EDITING
You can use automatic editing programs to perform the following:
- Trim line work beneath annotation.
- Delete selected line work within closed features
(i.e., contours within buildings).
- Delete large portions of data within an earth window
for update mapping.
- Edge match and intersect nearly adjacent linear features
from different stereomodels.
- Globally or selectively change feature attributes including
elevation, feature code, character height, and character width.
- Subdivide selected line work at all intersection points.
- Snap and cut line ends to other lines within tolerances
specified by feature.
- Smooth contours and other linear features.
- Filter excess data points.
- Concatenate multiple strings into a single feature.
INTERACTIVE EDITING
You can use the interactive editing program to perform the following:
- Delete lines, symbols, and annotations.
- Restore previously deleted features retained in the database.
- Snap and cut line ends to other lines.
- Change the shape of portions of lines.
- Spline, filter, or square existing lines.
- Generate parallels from existing lines.
- Modify elevation values.
- Move symbols and annotation.
- Cut line segments at intersections with other lines.
PLOTTING
KDMS drafts hard copy output to customer specifications on a variety
of plotters to produce the following:
- Scribed and inked output.
- Coordinate grids that can become part of the database.
- Solid line grids, tics, or crosses.
- Corner and/or edge labels (choice of four orientations).
- Grids annotated with control points.
- Hardware and software fonts.
The plotting feature also performs the following:
- Plots directly from data files or preconstructed plot files.
- Saves map parameters for later use.
- Windows any area at any scale.
- Indexes the plotter to any point on the map.
