All you people with a CAD program.
Please try to read this [Tracy's] 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!

Went over to Fry's tonight and had a look at TurboCad 7.0. They did not

have 7.1.

I was amazed it was only $80. Looks very good for only $80. I might buy it

and install

it on Robin's computer just so I can read Tracy's drawings :-)

TurboCad pro was $300. Which one do you have Chuck?

Paul Lamar

TurboCad (basic) has 99% of the functionality of the Pro version and is a
terrific bargain.  I got the Pro version but have not used any of the pro
features.  Only a bigger library of pre-built models (nuts, bolts, rivits,
etc) in Pro is of much use to the average user.

Version 7 claims 25 import/export file formats. Does you version export
dwg files to ACAD R12?
