Progiscad 2002 2004 Adcof Adfer Adtopo Hot «AUTHENTIC»
The identified terms refer to Progiscad, a now-obsolete French Geographic Information System (GIS) and CAD platform popular in the early 2000s for topographic, cadastral, and road infrastructure projects. The suffixes (ADCOF, ADFER, ADTOPO, HOT) represent specific modules, command sets, or data exchange protocols used between 2002 and 2004. No active support or modern compatibility exists for these components.
The true power of ProgisCad 2002/2004 lay not in the CAD engine itself, but in three specialized add-on modules (or data exchange formats). These are remembered by veterans through the file extensions .adc, .adf, and .adt.
All were part of a software ecosystem by ADC or later GEOFIT (and eventually absorbed into other solutions like Mesuris, Covadis, etc.). progiscad 2002 2004 adcof adfer adtopo hot
Function: Adtopo was the topographic processing module. It was used for processing survey data, creating Digital Terrain Models (DTM), and generating contour lines and volumes (cubatures).
Technical Note on "HOT": In Progiscad, the module Adtopo utilized specific file extensions for its calculation engines. The identified terms refer to Progiscad , a
Solution: The default was Lambert II étendu (EPSG:27572) in ProgisCad 2002. In 2004, sometimes RGF93 / Lambert 93 (EPSG:2154). Try reprojecting with cs2cs.
Cause: You edited a coordinate in the ADCOF bank but did not update the graphical entities in Progiscad 2002.
Fix: Run the SYNC_COF command in the command line interface. Function:
Adtopo was the topographic processing module

|------|----|----------------|----------------|
| Progiscad 2002 | 2004 | Built-in UPGRADE command | High (line styles, custom linetypes) |
| Progiscad 2004 | DXF | EXPORT,DXF,2000 | Medium (hatches explode, text shifts) |
| Progiscad 2004 | SHP | Via ADTOPO | Very High (attributes lost, only geometry) |
Critical issue: All modules listed do not run on 64-bit Windows. Requires Windows XP or a virtual machine with hardware floating-point emulation.
