Hi all,

I'm wondering how to get Dted or other terrain info
out of a dxf file containing contour lines.

Is there any software out there that will do that?
Right now I'm faced with having to translate
the data into inventor, and sampling the points
in the data field at appropriate intervals to construct
my own ded file.

Also I'm looking into shading the contour intervals
and using the MultiGen utility image2ded to get
a terrain mesh.

But if there are any tools out there which will make
my life easier, I'll use them!

Thanks,

Cheers,
tzelin
