Feature Requests

Hi there - could I have this option aswell. I have been sent a shape file for a job & I have been trying to draw it manually on DD desktop. This will make it easier.

Could i please have this functionality enabled for my account too.

Thanks

Hi Guys,

I’d suggest going with a KML or GPX format to start with as this is more common for people and should be easier to implement.

Please also define the projection that is needed for it to work (or does it read PRJ files?).

I understand that it’s experimental but at this stage it is putting the shape in the wrong spot (out by about 10 km) and is a strange infinity symbol shape rather than the simple square and other shapes I was testing.

Final suggestion is to load the shape/kml/gpx file into the viewer but then let the user click the flight plan around it manually (at this stage). Fully automated shp -> multiple separate flight plans (batch job style) based on name attribute and size of each polygon would be good vision to head for in the future.

Cheers,

Andrew

HI Guys,

I worked out what was happening. It seems you have to close the DD web app window (Chrome) and then start a new window otherwise it loads the previous shape file regardless of what you do. Close and open a new window and it works great.

Cheers,

Andrew

This is a brilliant addition to your app! Makes life so much easier to set extents for more complex areas- works really well.

Thanks so much for including this option in the functionality!
