KeyOSC (Key Ordnance Survey Companion) is a suite of applications to enable the
easy handling of MasterMap data by an Organisation. By storing MasterMap data in
a spatially indexed Oracle database this data can be viewed seamlessly within
the AutoCAD environment and the same data set can be viewed by corporate GIS
systems. This provides a single solution for organisations and unifies CAD and
GIS departments. |
|
|
|
KeyOSC consists of the following modules:
-
KeyOSC Mapper – enables MasterMap data stored in an Oracle database to be viewed
seamlessly within the AutoCAD environment. Version 2.0 can now interact directly
with corporate datasets built using such systems as Dotted eyes', SuperpOSE,
Snowflake Software's GO loader or Safe Software's FME. In addition, MasterMap
data held generically within Oracle or SQL Server 2008 can be accessed directly
and viewed.
-
KeyOSC Tiler – enables traditional viewing of tile based mapping by handling
drawing tiles in AutoCAD
-
KeyOSC Builder – creates a central Oracle database of spatially indexed
MasterMap data, optionally from which DWG tiles can be created
These modules are used in the following combinations:
-
KeyOSC Builder and KeyOSC Mapper provides access to seamless mapping in AutoCAD.
-
KeyOSC Builder creates AutoCAD DWG tiles which can then be loaded into AutoCAD
using KeyOSC Tiler.

KeyOSC Highlights |
|
|
|
Automatic Zoom: Automatically show different
levels of mapping from Outline through to Full mapping based on user defined
thresholds. |
|
Get Mapping in Area/Buffer: Specify an area or
buffer with an offset to show different levels of mapping from outline through
to full mapping. |
|
|
|
Gazetteer: Zoom directly to a street using the
included KeyGAZETTEER module based on National Street Gazetteer (NSG) data. |
|
Plotting Utilities: Easily create viewports and
create insets, insert borders and northpoints, set viewport scales and angles. |
|
|
|
Versioned Mapping: Display different versions
of mapping based on a date by loading change only updates |
|
Toggle Automatic Map Loading: Toggle automatic
map loading on and off to facilitate easy navigation and display of mapping. |

KeyOSC in Detail |
|
|
|
|
|
Mapping Extents |
|
Load In View |
|
|
|
 |
Quickly generate the extents of a mapping area stored in the database and draw
an outline view of the main roads. |
|
|
 |
An alternative way of showing mapping is to show the mapping, at any of the
pre-defined five levels, in the current view. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KeyGAZETTEER |
|
Versioned Mapping |
|
|
|
 |
The KeyGAZETTEER module, supplied with KeyOSC Mapper, allows users to quickly
zoom to the start of a selected road or the intersection with another road. The
mapping at a pre-defined level is automatically rendered on-screen. |
|
|
 |
When loading the Mastermap data into the oracle database all mapping is
versioned, this has the advantage that versioned mapping can be displayed for a
particular date, again the level of detail can be specified. |
|
|
|

|
Load Mapping |
|
Map Layers and Colours |
|
|
|
 |
Mapping can be loaded on demand at different levels of detail. There are five
levels of detail; Outline, Low, Medium, High and Full. |
|
|
 |
All mapping features are placed on their own layer in accordance with the
Ordnance Survey guidelines. Once loaded mapping can be changed to grey or to a
single specified colour. Default colours can be restored at the click of a
button. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Toggle Area |
|
Fix Mapping |
|
|
|
 |
Automatic loading of data can be controlled by the toggle area command. If
toggle area is set to on then mapping at different levels of detail will
automatically be brought in depending on the zoom height. |
|
|
 |
Any mapping that is drawn into the AutoCAD environment can be 'fixed' as AutoCAD
native objects so that they can be saved in a dwg file and used by other users
using AutoCAD without KeyOSC or AutoCAD LT. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Load In Area |
|
Plotting Tools and Utilities |
|
|
|
 |
Mapping can be loaded into specific areas based on any closed polyline. In
addition the boundary can be moved and mapping for the new area can be viewed. |
|
|
 |
Several plotting tools allow for the easy creation and orientation of viewports
in which to show the mapping. In addition north symbols, scale bars and borders
can easily be inserted into a layout or model view. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Load In Buffer |
|
Options |
|
|
|
 |
A buffer line can be drawn, for example based on a road centreline, with a
specified offset and the mapping can then automatically be shown at different
levels of detail. |
|
|
 |
The detail of mapping shown at each level is fully user definable. Access to the
road features and at what scale they appear can be set. Additionally the zoom
thresholds can be specified and saved for use in a different session. |
