pythoncad has code for reading dwg and has a Debian package. See my analysis: http://intevation.de/pipermail/freegis-list/2005-January/002060.html > Hmmm, so probably Debian packages should be sure to list uncommon file > extensions that they can deal with in the Package Description. The question always is: What does "dealing with" means. If you know what dwg is you also know for what to search. DWG is a common file format when dealing with GIS or CAD. > Wait, according to what Jack says, there won't be any Debian package > to deal with .dwg's. Oh. He asked a question because he does not know the answer. ;) Bernhard ps.: Did you mean to write to freegis@ instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
