When i try to open or batch convert some GRIDASCII files I get the following error. The files are >= 75 MB and they open correctly in other tools. I have tried both 32-bit and 64-bit versions with the same result.

=====================================

Error reading file <my filename>

    Can you first try getting the latest installer for v13.1.3 from the links below and see if that helps?

    32-bit: http://www.globalmapper.com/downloads/global_mapper_setup.exe
    64-bit: http://www.globalmapper.com/downloads/global_mapper_setup_64bit.exe

    If not, can you zip up one of the problem files and provide it so that I can take a look and try to reproduce the issue?

    Thanks,

    Hi!
    Sorry, but 13.1.3 didn't help. I got the same error as before. As the GRIDASCII files are the property of a customer I'll have to write a small program writing a large file. Probably I'll write all zeroes as height values (0.0000000). This will make a large file compressing extremely good with zip. I'll try to do this in the middle of the next week.
    Best regards, Ulf

    When you say the files are GRIDASCII is that the same as Arc ASCII Grid or something else? If you have even just a few sample lines at the top I can check the correct format to see if I can find the issue. I just did a large ARc ASCII Grid export and that loaded back in just fine for me. In any case Arc ASCII Grid shouldn't generate the error that you are seeing.

    Thanks,

    Hi!
    This is the heading of the file. And yes, with GRIDASCII I mean "Arc/Info ASCII Grid Files". The height values are all integers, most of them are 0. The projection is UTM Zone 35, with ETRS89 datum.

    ncols 7680
    nrows 3840
    xllcorner 116000
    yllcorner 6762000
    cellsize 25
    NODATA_value -9999

    Ah thank you, with the size from the header I was able to generate a file that I could reproduce the error with. I've got it fixed now. It was a bug in a recent change for v13.1. I have placed a new build at http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper13.zip with the latest changes for you to try. Simply download that file and extract the contents into your existing v13.xx installation folder to give it a try. If you are using the 64-bit v13 version there is a new build at http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper13_64bit.zip .

    Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

    Thanks,

    Hi!
    Thanks for the patch, now it seems to work correctly. I have tested both opening and batch conversion. I have only tried the 64-bit version. Will this be an official release?
    Best regards, Ulf

    Ulf,

    Yes, this fix will be in all future builds and the next official release (v13.2) in a few weeks.
