 ADF Creator is a standalone Windows program for converting AGTEK .esw files to a more universal format readable on the android platform and potentially other platforms. The design should be allow for either standalone use or as a .dll for inclusion in other AGTEK programs. Other potential uses may be to create a third party api/​interface to allow other companies access to our data format. ADF Creator is a standalone Windows program for converting AGTEK .esw files to a more universal format readable on the android platform and potentially other platforms.

 +======= Story 6 Updating the ADF Writer Interface =======
 +
 +ADF has matured and the requirements for choosing what goes into the ADF being exported has become more important as the Earthwork system adds more surfaces and layer types. The other goal is to unify more of the interface to be similar to KMZ export for simpler training and a more consistent flow. This story evolves the KMZ interface to enhance the ADF control but also modifies KMZ for some much needed updates to its capabilities.

   *  AGTEK Access Upload as part of the save project   *  AGTEK Access Upload as part of the save project
  
-Of the two, Isopach creation is probably ​the more significant feature because of the potential time savings on the phone. This should be evaluated first for development time required.

The main reason to add it is to minimize the steps necessary to get files to the field.+Add the interface to support AGTEK Access Upload as described in the graphic. The flow doesn'​t change except to prompt the user for the AGTEK Access Login dialog.

 ===== Story 5 ===== ===== Story 5 =====
 +ADF Creator currently just reads .esw files (sitework). This new version of ADF creator needs create ADF files without Sitework 4D as the content provider. The new sources of content are:
 +
 +  * PDF or image files (png,​jpg,​tif,​bmp,​gif) (note: ADF uses jpg for internal storage)
 +  * KMZ files
 +  * (future?) DWG, DXF, DGN files
 +
 +
 +==== Features ====
 +
 +=== Benchmark Creation ===
 +
 +KMZ files require no user creation of benchmarks since the native coordinates are lat-long. The ADF creator itself needs to add two benchmarks automatically to any KMZ file exported via ADF for compatibility. Any other file requires a method of adding two benchmarks with Lat-Long.

The timing is dependent upon when the functionality can be created for the phones. This is about support for reading and benchmarking files for the Android platform.
