Creating MapPad Maps
10
This programme converts .dxf maps into MapPad packages for loading into the Newton.
Dxf files can be created from arc coverages by using the arcdxf command. Maps can be any
polygon, line or point coverage. You may wish to load the topography, culture, geology,
geophysical interpretation, sample localities, and/or key sites or traverses. Note that the
1111
size of the image file being created (not the dxf input file) should not be greater than 880Kb
as the Newton operating system is currently unable to create images of a larger size. By
way of example, a sample of Melbourne roads started as a 4.5Mb dxf file and resulted in a
1:26000 scale MapPad image with a size of 880Kb. RIA has frequently converted 15Mb
.dxf files into 800Kb MapPad package files with a scale of 1:15000.

When loading a dxf file, MapPad looks for a corresponding Projection file (.prj) and Layer
control file (.1yr). If no corresponding files are found, DEFAULT.PRJ and DEFAULT.LYR
are searched for in the same directory as the dxf file. If these are not found then default
values are used.

Files
A .prj describes the map projection of the .dxf file, and contains the default description
information. An example of the file Melbour.prj (UTM projection) is set out below:
