Thanks - CAD Help

[John Davis]

Colleagues   Thanks to all of you who responded with help in translating CAD files into a format suitable for drawing packages.  I was guided to Paintshop Pro v5, which I already had, but then found that my venerable CAD program (TurboCAD v3) produces a rather non-standard .dxf format which messed up some of the lines, and lost the special fonts.    The "Print screen" route also worked, but the resolution was low.   My current stop-gap solution (until I get a more up-to-date CAD package) has been to print out at 1440 dpi and scan back in again, saving as a .gif!  Messy, but it's surprisingly effective.   BTW - the task in question was some diagrams for the Sundial Glossary (Draft 7), so the question wasn't entirely off-topic   Cheers,   John ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr J R Davis Flowton, UK 52.08N, 1.043E email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
