I have used CAD software on the Mac since 1986. Sorry, but no, it is not in a common file type. No, Graphic Converter can't do it.
The exception is DXF file format which has tried to be a CAD standard, but (IMHO) never made it. Most CAD software will export or import DXF files, but the transfer is poor and lots of stuff it left out. There are CAD file transfer programs to take one brand of CAD to another, but it is VERY expensive. CAD on the Mac is a DREAM compared to on WinDoze (Surprised?) but even so has a steep learning curve and is not intuitive. I have been running CAD software on my Power 120 with G3-300 for a long time (I map caves) and Love the setup, except for faster video acceleration which I could sure use. Scott <SNIP> Off topic, but I'm curious about the CAD software. I've never used any, but I occasionally have a need to be able to open a CAD document (a map from the engineering consultants working for the Highway Department, for example) and convert it into a file type (TIFF, EPS, JPEG) suitable for publication. Are CAD documents of some common file type? Can Mac CAD software typically open any CAD file? Maybe even Graphic Converter can do this? (I would test this myself, but I don't have any kind of CAD file on hand.) -- Power Computing is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Power Computing list info: <http://lowendmac.com/power/list.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/powercomputing%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
