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
I have TurboCad Pro 7.1
I had downloaded a free version from their webite earlier,
they called me on
the phone and offered a special for $150 with 30 day free
trial. It has 3D
modeling capability I haven't tried yet.

Fool around in there Chuck and see if it will export dwg
files to ACAD R12.
You don't need anything fancy. Just a few lines with
dimensions will do.
Or use Tracy plate DXF and export that as a dwg file to ACAD
R12 if it can.
Send it to me and I will try to load the dwg file directly.
Also will it export gif's instead of jpg's? Not too important
on this as
I can convert. Just curious.
BTW did you get the O-rings yet?
Paul Lamar
Here it is as a DWG file for ACAD12. Options are ACAD12, 14 or 2000.
Two more options I have not tried-
"Unblock-Marking this checkbox makes TurboCAD explode the entities belonging
to block(s).
Explode Text- Marking this checkbox makes TurboCAD break up any text of an
exported file into its constituent parts."
Hey that sounds like it might work.
GIF is not an option.
Have not seen the O rings yet. Unusual packages are slow with USPS
nowadays :-)
Chuck Dunlap
Thanks Chuck.
OK we are getting there. Everything came across except the dimensions
and the text. ACAD R12 gave me an error. It could not find the
font I think Tracy specified namely "TIMES.SHX"
Butch, is this a font I can obtain somehow? What is the default font in R12?
Here are the ACAD R12 fonts that I have. Check TurboCad and see if any of these
are listed. Also perhaps you can change the fonts after the drawing is
made, save it again and re-send it.
Here also is the gif. Looks like Tracy has some garbage here and there. Must
be on some hidden layer.
