Implementation of [https://www.opendesign.com/files/guestdownloads/OpenDesign_Specification_for_.dwg_files.pdf ODA DWG files Specification], which will allow to read DWG '''Pyramid Tile Structure''' as a newly supported file-format.

Idea for this project was taken from [https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/SummerOfCode GDAL SoC Ideas].

== Implementation details ==

=== Write a new library to read DWG files [https://github.com/sandyre/libopencad GitHub libopencad] ===

* Library should be written in an easy-to-extend style, so every DWG version can be handled easily.
* Library should provide a clear API how to interact with it, and an easy method to write OGR Driver based on it.
* Library should has an abstract data model for all DWG/DXF files of any version (so, DXF format also could be added to the library).

=== GDAL Driver ===

Implement a new DWG driver for OGR, which will work with [https://github.com/sandyre/libopencad libopencad].

== Possible future extension (not necessarily part of SoC project) ==

* Support for writing ability - creating CAD files is more complicated than reading, but with good library/driver architecture it will be possible without any painful refactoring.
* Not all DWG format versions will be handled during GSoC, so working with them will also be a good extension.

== Schedule ==

* May 28: Reading of DWG R15, basic documentation of [https://github.com/sandyre/libopencad libopencad]
* June 20: Implementation of OGR Driver for reading DWG R15.
* July 8: OGR DWG Driver documentation and testing.
* July 22: Implement DWG R13, R14, bug fixes and testing.
* August 18: Completed documentation for libopencad and OGR DWG Driver, PR to GDAL Trunk.

== What new functionality this project brings ==

A lot of GIS Applications are based on GDAL, so adding a new supported extension will give a capability to work with Autodesk DWG files, which is the most popular CAD format in the world[1].

== Student's Biography ==

My name is Alexandr Borzykh, I am second-year undergraduate student at [http://en.ifmo.ru/en/ ITMO University].

I am pretty new to OpenSource projects. I like C/C++ languages, have some experience with Python.
