Intergraph to grass

In response to Bart Cosyn's query:

I haven't heard of a direct conversion from Intergraph to GRASS (even thought INtergraph says they have one).

I have successfully imported into GRASS DXF files that were generated from INtergraph data. There are a few things to watch - such as making sure attribute (labels files in DXF format, I think ???) data comes in okay. But overall I was really happy with the results. It may be an option for you if you cannot go directly from Intergraph to GRASS.

Hi Grassers,

We want to export a project and some files from Intergraph (clix) to
a grass project and files for a silicon. According to the manuals
from MGE (intergraphs GIS application) we have to define
GISRC in the .profile in which we tell MGE where the parameter file
for the MAPSET and LOCATION and the GISBASE is! Problem is it does
not work!

I acn imagine one of the problems! Namely the project and the
appropriate subdirectories do not exist yet. Do we have to create them?

PS: my project needs a lot of exchange between different systems and
countrys but the central gis is grass!
So this question looks a bit strange!
