Thanks you for the dwgs Pual.
I have Acad 2000. This will open most versions.
A DXF will ulso suffice.

Too bad there is no real standardization on drawing or DXF files.

See if you can handle this 13B zipped DXF from Peter Nunn. I think it came

>from Turbo Cad. I have never been able to convert it to a bit map

so I can see what it looks like. I don't have ACAD 2000 or Turbo CAD either.
I think ACAD 2000 can export bit maps of some kind such as tiff's, gif's, jpg's
or bmp's. If you can load this and convert to a bit map and send it
back to me I can convert it to an efficient and compact gif and upload it here
for all to view.

Actually, there is a pretty good interface standard in IGES, as long as you
are sticking with line drawings.  It works "usefully" for solid models, but is
not really intended for that application.  I was the FEA Subcommittee chair
a long time ago, and while IGES is often maligned, most of the problems
are poorly done converters from native to IGES or from IGES to native.
Unfortunately, Autodesk has made the IGES translator an extra cost option
on recent versions.  It used to be standard and was a really solid way
to move line drawings from system to system.  Thsi is for CAD to CAD or
CAM, of course.  .gifs are great for the web.
