All you people with a CAD program.
Please try to read this DXF file for me and let me know
what CAD program you are using.

Looks great on Turbocad v 7.1 - text is very readable when

drawing is

zoomed.
I saved this JPG file as 1000 x 1000 pixels and it is

barely readable on my

19" monitor. I can save it 2000 x 2000 and it looks good

but you have to

scroll around the screen to see it all and it is over 500 KB.
I just got this new version 2 weeks ago - thanks for the

excuse to play with

it!

Chuck please zoom in on one quarter of the drawing at a time and save
each zoom  as separate jpg. Send all four jpg's I think that
should do the trick.

Paul Lamar

Try these. The first one is highly compressed to meet your <100KB size
criteria.
The second one at 204KB looks much better.
If all else fails I can split the drawing but that seems like a very
inconvenient way to look at a drawing.

Chuck Dunlap

Both of those are winners Chuck. Nice feature of TurboCad 7.1 to be able
to save files in almost any resolution. I assume you did that with TurboCad
alone.

Here is number one. You are now the official converter of unreadable
Tracy Crook drawing files {grin}. If anybody needs it I can send them
the 238K number two which is even more readable.
