This article was contributed by Esri Deutschland, the Esri distributor for Germany.

The instructions provided describe how to install NAS-Reader for ArcGIS Desktop 10. NAS-Reader enables importing and visualizing 3A data (AFIS®, ALKIS® and ATKIS®) by way of NAS (Normbasierte Austausch Schnittstelle), a standards-based exchange format of German surveying authorities. According to GeoInfoDok version 6.0, NAS data can be read by NAS-Reader and all schemes, including version 6.0.1, are supported.

Note:
Version 5.1.1_K is an exception; it is not supported by NAS-Reader. This version was available for a short time and was replaced by version 5.1.1_K2.

Procedure

The installation requires the following:

  • ArcGIS Desktop 10.0, Service Pack 1
  • Data Interoperability extension
Note:
Since the NAS-Reader uses only parts of the Data Interoperability extension, it is not necessary to purchase a license. Nevertheless, the full use of Data Interoperability is still dependent on an activated license.
  • Media CD Bereit für ArcGIS 10! provided by Esri Germany
  • It is not necessary to install the German Supplement.
