Either case, you must discover and relate some of the info that is specific to your goals and computer setup, such as plotter device selection and parameters, paths, and environment; even must be done for the somewhat more feature fitted comercial programs available for 50 to 200 --- Amie v0.93 * Origin: The Edge BBS * Severn, MD * (410)551-2586 (1:261/1454) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 146 AUTOCAD Ref: DBY00002 Date: 07/24/96 From: DENNIS CURTIS Time: 10:05pm \/To: Y (Read 2 times) Subj: AUTOCAD dENNIS HERE.

The combination of the two programs work fine under dos 6.22-windows 3.11. The problem is that we switched operating systems (now Windows 95 dutch). Since the change of OS, replacing the Genius window causes the mouse pointer to disappear. The firm that sold us the combination genius-acadlt 2.0 sais we have to live with the problem until the next update (haha). Does anybody have a solution?

Need- less to say I'm not having much success. The It's been a while since I used it, but I think you have to open a library first, and then you can add slides. I must say I don't use the menu-system, but use it as a commandline utility. That way, it's more easy to add a bunch of slides at once to a particular library.

Utilities, third party software, both commercial and shareware, tips, tricks and programming of menus, font or shape files, LISP and scripts have all been talked about. All levels of users abound. Advertisements of products by vendors of any type or personal ads to sell software or hardware are NOT welcome. Users may discuss their use of any CAD related software/hardware product or service. Many other CAD applications have been discussed and are considered on topic. Rule File: A_CAD.RUL International AutoCAD/CAD Conference 04/03/91 Updated: 02/27/92 o The main topic of this echo conference is AutoCAD(tm) and the use of it, add on products like third party or shareware software, required hardware, utilities, tips, tricks and programming of any facet of ACAD. Other CAD or PC CAD is also open for discussion. o Advertisements of products or services by vendors of any type or personal ads to sell software or hardware are NOT welcome. o File listings are highly frowned upon but new file announcements that would benefit "the topic" will be permitted, within reason. o Product or Service announcements fall under advertisements and are not allowed. The one, and only one exception will be official "Update" announcements from Autodesk about AutoCAD(tm). o Foul or harsh language is not tolerable and will not be accepted. If you don't like what someone has to say for personal reasons, send them a reply using netmail - not echomail. o Some echoes allow aliases, but I tend not to want them. I think most of the professionals here want to KNOW who they are dealing with. I prefer full names used in the echo. o This conference is not bound by FidoNet, it's open to any network and system that wish to carry the conference. Messages in this conference should confirm with the FTSC (FidoNet Technical Standards Committee) format and must contain a tear and origin line. The tear line may not be longer than 35 characters including the --- characters. The origin line must fit on one 80 character wide CRT including the " # Origin: " text. o Eight-bit ASCII is not allowed in this conference. All characters in displayed message data (text/header) must be in the range 32 to 126, which rules out control characters. Control character can be shown as ^@ through ^_ for 0 to 31 or any character can be noted as . o Offline readers abound and offer system callers an excellent way of reading and replying to messages. These readers need to be configured to compile with the rule (above) on 8 bit ASCII characters. Make sure that your reader is configured to compile with FidoNet's standards (in all respects). o First rule of any echo is leave the moderating to the moderator. I am the moderator, if you have a problem with someone, tell me about it, don't post flames, etc. in the conference. I will take whatever appropriate action I see fit. o Treat others as you wish to be treated yourself. Last Rule: Don't be annoying nor be easily annoyed.

I have done mechanical drafting for the last 5 years, so the arch is a little new; I did a bit in college. My question is, I would assume that since I'm using R13-C4 Win-NT, that I should be creating the outline for the walls of the building with an MLINE function??? I have always used the polyline command in the past. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?? Can anyone shed any light on any CD-ROM or disk from anyone that has a lot of pre-made doors, windows, toilets, sinks, counters... etc. as blocks that I can insert in the dwg??

I have received a Wordperfect file (which I can convert easily into an ASCII file). This file. when printed, produces 16 sheets of A4, which when stuck together eight across and two deep, forms a family tree. The connecting lines are the IBM Hi-ASCII line-drawing symbols. Obviously, what I want is to import this data into an AutoCAD drawing for sending to a plotter. How do I do it ? My FM only tells me how to produce and load ASCII "command files". > Robin --- Terminate 4.00/Pro * Origin: (0,0,0), where else would it be ? 01709 517224 (2:250/410.32)
