It has come to our attention that the recently distributed version of InterpOSe (4.6), sent to customers with current maintenance agreements, has a missing component in the underlying processing engine. Although this only affects a handful of customers, there will be a failure of processing in the following combination of circumstances:

- FME is not installed separately on the processing machine.

- User is not processing via FFS and InterpOSe Extract.

- Output is being tiled.

Under these circumstances, when the process begins to tile the output, the error ‘Failed to add to pipeline - FME cannot find a function named “OGCGeometry” will appear on screen.

As part of Dotted Eyes’ commitment to proactively resolve any software issues, an update is available from the following location:

Please download the ZIP file, extract the executable file from within the ZIP and run it on the computer that has InterpOSe installed. Running this executable will update your installation to include the missing component.

We apologise for any inconvenience that you may have experienced.

New releases of Dotted Eyes’ OS MasterMap loading tool, InterpOSe, and NTF Loader, TranspOSe, have been released. Releases have been sent to all clients with maintenance contracts. See below for version changes:
–
InterpOSe (v4.6)

• An updated version of the FME components used to write the various output formats;
• DWG and DXF files may be written in AutoCAD Release 2007 format;
• DWT template files can be edited in AutoCAD Release 2007 format;
• Compatibility with EDINA Digimap data files, as supplied to the academic community;
• OS MasterMap Address Layer 2 may be processed in its Final Release form as well as its First Release form. This data set includes OWPAs (Objects Without Postal Addresses) and MOWPAs (Multi-occupancy Buildings Without Postal Addresses) and also alternative address formats such as the Welsh language and BS7666 style;
• A Full Supply of Address Layer 2 can be processed. InterpOSe v4.6 will also apply Change-Only Update to the Postal theme, if required.

The Address Layer 2 data set is considerably more complex than the original Address Layer, and accordingly we recommend that it should be stored in a database, particularly if you intend to use Change-Only Update.

A simplified version of InterpOSe is available to institutions of higher and further education, for teaching and research purposes. It processes data supplied through the EDINA Digimap service, but not the data set supplied by Ordnance Survey, and it has restricted functionality.

We will continue to develop InterpOSe, and intend to enable Change-Only Updates to be applied to all themes in Address Layer 2 in future releases.

TranspOSe (v9.1)

• The underlying Spatial ETL (Extract, Transform & Load) engine that drives TranspOSe has been updated;
• AutoCAD support has been extended to include the latest output release, 2004 and 2007;
• ESRI Style files are now available to enhance styling support for features in ESRI GIS software.

Dotted Eyes were requested by EDINA to enable the market-leading OS MasterMap extraction tool InterpOSe to work with EDINA’s new OS MasterMap service for Academic organisations within the UK.

InterpOSe for Digimap® is now available free of charge for academic use, and handles both the Topography and ITN layers for conversion to various file formats, including Shape, TAB, mid/mif, and DWG/DXF. Also included is the Dotted Eyes-produced style file for ArcGIS users, enabling the rich styling of OS MasterMap to be fully realised.
