Used Message #21641
From: BRAD WHITNEY Forum: Autodesk AutoCAD Forum November 23, 1991 3:43 PM
I have done all of the preparations for a safe, legal transfer of ACAD R9 to me but I was wondering what might be a fair price to offer? What might be a BArgain price? They have no use for it whatsoever. Thanks, BGW

From: Theo Armour Forum: Autodesk AutoCAD Forum November 23, 1991 3:25 PM
It's quite archaic now. And still needs 10 to 30 hours to make it usable to anybody but but me. So I'll not put it up today. I would like to dress it up and make it work with some of the new features of Release 12. And all my…

#21479-Panacea ADI 4.0 Message #21639
From: Brad Ek [Panacea] Forum: Autodesk AutoCAD Forum November 23, 1991 3:22 PM
Charles, When you say "disappear", I assume that you're talking about the position of the graphics screen shifting a bit when in higher resolution modes, and this shift is causing some of the graphics area to become obscured. This is caused by the board/monitor combination and is independent of any…

#21407-#LISP -> ADS Converters? Message #21638
From: Jerry Workman Forum: Autodesk AutoCAD Forum November 23, 1991 3:13 PM
Angelo, I've "rolled my own" ADS converter using a program similar to the UNIX program "sed". It simply makes global substitutions of all of the functions rearranging parameters and adjusting the parens, etc. It does not handle MAPCAR, LAMBDA, and lots of other things for that matter. It does handle…

Saulo – I trust you saw Mark's reply to my suggestion to you about recreating the PWD? I didn't have the whole thread and incorrectly assumed you were running standalone. I don't think you should delete ACAD.PWD if you're on a net!!! (Especially if there are others using it!!!!!!) Dave

Lee – there was something in a very recent Cadalyst about transmission lines — would that be it? If so, check the month of the issue and look for a file named after it; e.g., if it was in the October 1991 issue, you should go to Lib 9 "What's…

From: Joe MacRae Forum: Autodesk AutoCAD Forum November 23, 1991 2:19 PM
Mark, I tend to have bad feelings on this bug that you are claiming here because the DXF is Autodesk's utility. It would seem, on the surface, that the problem lies with the program on the RS/6000 not writing a compatable file for the DXF interface. But I have a…

I'm having great difficulty deciphering the DXF representation of Angular Dimensions (regular, not 3 pt.). The control points in the *D block seem to be in no fixed order and the extension points in the Insert block also seem to be interchangable. The location of the ARC (which quadrant) seems…

From: Steve Levy Forum: Autodesk AutoCAD Forum November 23, 1991 2:00 PM
Thanks for the reply; I guess that I was looking at the problem a bit differently. If you have the Dbl precision FP database in systems memory, say with 32 Mbyte of systems RAM, and you can transform each entity (on the FP coprocessor) in less time than it takes…

From: Jake Richter [Panacea] Forum: Autodesk AutoCAD Forum November 23, 1991 12:26 PM
Display list redraws will always be faster than REGENs (under AutoCAD, that is). What your question boils down to is "On what speed system will REGENs and DL Redraws be perceived as being instantaneous?" My answer would be: On a 200 MHz 586 with a 5ms hard disk (with 512…

Robin: Actually, the 1.5MB board in the LJIIP doesn't have anything to do with it if you're running the laser on a parallel port. It has to do with the difference between the way the computer communicates with the printer on the parallel port vs. the plotter on the serial…
