dgDIALOG

Since 1997 we have been co-producing and developing dgDIALOG software owned by Grontmij Geogroep company from Holland. DgDIALOG is a system for digital maps managing created for geodetic companies and geodetic-cartographic state offices. It encompasses functions for inputting surveyed data and importing/exporting data in text and CAD/GIS formats. It has unique functions of checking origin of data on the basis of information related to point elements being a base for building other geometry elements.
Ticket Request System for dgDIALOG users helps to submit any request concerning dgDIALOG software as well as helps to get newes, detailed instructions about dgDIALOG functionality.

Basic functionality
dgDIALOG stores data in object form not only in 3 dimensions XYZ but also in dimension of time. All changes appearing in project are recorded and a user has ability to restore data to certain date/time in every moment.
dgDIALOG works using special data structure which enables constructing any objects consisting of points and lines.
In geodetic - cartographic state offices dgDIALOG can cooperates with EGB 2000 software resulting in easy searching for plots and getting full information about plot directly from EGB 2000 database.
