#21528-LISP CALLING
Message #21586
Jeff, I suspect you didn't already already have (chtext) already defined and loaded. The example I gave can only call a LISP function, it cannot, as written, load the function. To call the second routine without typing its name in, try: (defun chtext () ………) (defun C:Yourfunc () (initget "Chtext…

#21554-#ACAD
Message #21585
There are two ways to authorize AutoCAD for the Sun SparcStation. 1. You buy one copy of AutoCAD. You tell your dealer the hostid of one machine, and the serial number of the AutoCAD. He gives you an authorization code. That AutoCAD can be run on that station and that…

#21530-DXFIX-ACAD10 C2
Message #21584
R10 c2 and R10 c7 are not all that different; it certainly shouldn't be a problem. There are no switches; R10 is R10 and R11 is R11. Can you give us some details? An error message, for instance? How do you transport the DWG/DXF files? Maybe you could upload a…

Message #21583
Let's be reasonable. Is it even shipping yet? First I've heard of it. We do not yet have a Real Mode ADS library for Turbo C++. When we do, it will probably work. Sorry, but I don't have any timeframe on it. The fact that it now supports DPMI is…

The problem you refer to is caused by the size of text selected. If you were to select the 8×8 character set, each of your characters amount to 8 scan lines on your display. The following table shows how the various fonts size show up at various resolutions on a…

Message #21576
There are a couple of LaserJet III ADI drivers in Library 5 (Hardware/Drivers/ADI) that will allow you to assign pen speeds to one of 10 grayscale settings in the printer. I know that the file there called LJIII.ZIP will do that.

#21331-#DWG Format
Message #21570
>>> "Each release will create a DXF file that is compatible with preceding releases…" This is a bit misleading. There are differences in the drawing header, so even if you have a Release 11 drawing with a single line in it, you will get an error when you try to…

Is FILES=40 or more in your CONFIG.SYS? Are you on a network (permissions)? Is it Release 11 c2 (not that it should matter)?
#21358-#HP Graphics Tablet
Message #21567
Yes, it is a terrible catch-22. The hardware vendors don't want to write drivers for every application ever written, and the software vendors don't want to write drivers for every piece of hardware on the planet. You can't blame either one of them. I know! Let's dump it on the…

#hpgl-256 color mapping
Message #21566
AutoCAD Release 11 only supports 15 pens. The Autodesk Device Interface (ADI) specification currently supports 128, but I don't know how they are mapped. The ADI spec will probably support 256 pens in Release 12. If you want an ADI driver, please ask the hardware manufacturer. The ADI spec was…

#21395-PC-NFS and XREF's
Message #21563
Right you are, Mike. The bug has to do with the way we deal with the .XLG file (Xref Log). It takes somewhere between 5-20 times longer to load a drawing with many Xrefs from Sun to DOS (Sun to Sun is OK). PC-NFS seems to be the most adversely…
