GE line to AOG Curveline

[Tooki57]

Hi,

I would like to import a google earth route of several points (3) into a Curveline. How can I do this?

If you add 2 extra sections like in the photo, then save it as a kml, then import that kml as an external boundry then create an ab curve in aog

Import Lines from Google Earth

A bit more progress. It now imports each of the lines separate. Each can be selected to build the Curves in the ABDraw. Has a heading issue on the first and last point. Need to work on that. I know that GE is not very accurate sometimes. But may be an easy way to import tile lines or other features that you can save to Google Earth. [image] Tried this to see if it would work. I drew a pattern in GE. No measurements, not accurate, just a test for the concept. Then loaded the field in AO…

It is possible. But not part of the official release.

The boundary import work around works. Build a boundary in ge with one side being the curve you want to follow.

Start new field with that as boundary. Build curve in abdraw. Then delete that boundary and import the real boundary.

Thanks for the advice.
Perhaps one thing to add to AOG is the ability to build lines from GPS points :

• 2 points for an ABline.
• Several points for a Curveline, and between these points the shortest path (straight).

Do you know when the field.txt file is written? Is it when you create a new field or when you create the boundry. I haven’t looked into it yet. I wasn’t sure weather it would interfere with existing ab lines

Try an existing field, delete the boundary, import new boundary, create curves, delete boundary, import existing boundary.
