ODCLASS & ODEDIT for AutoCAD ® 2011-2020

The programmer, Moscow, Russia who wrote ODCLASS & ODEDIT wished to remain unknown. Although hidden under the alias "NULL", it is magnificent.

it.Nutty, Moscow, Russia is a great programmer who wrote a converter from Tool Palettes files to ODCLASS definition files. And helped make this website. This converter is not yet available on the website, but you can send xtp or atc of your palettes and get ODCLASS description files.

Alexander Sharov, Moscow, Russia, private person, topographer, technologist, program-manager.

In ODCLASS & ODEDIT, the author of the idea, organizer, "financier", program-manager, tester, distributor, etc.

Graduate of the Moscow Institute of Geodesy, Aerial Survey and Cartography and work in a specialty.

I was engaged in the development of cartographic classifiers, digital mapping technologies, creation of topographic plans and maps of scale 1:100-1:50000, collection of data for aeronautical navigation, etc. With pleasure I did many of topographic surveys for archeologists and restorers.

As a technologist, I would not be engaged in program development at all - I look from the position of users who always need already ready-made high-quality solutions.

But there is too often a gap between users and developers. Especially with large software manufacturers.

I took up the ODCLASS & ODEDIT project in large part because of the understanding that these solutions are productive not only for cartography, but for any modeling subject.

The ODCLASS & ODEDIT project is a example of solutions, their ability and productivity.

To my regret, to convince users, experts, and Autodesk had to do much more than just prototype programs - working applications.

... And in any case it would be better for everyone if Autodesk ® itself did so in the basic AutoCAD ®.

But now I am happy to use ODCLASS & ODEDIT every day, and they are available to everyone, markedly expanding the possibilities of working in the AutoCAD. :)
