< "Gemuetlich" simply means "comfortable". > Not quite. Gemuetlich could mean "cosy" (atmosphere), "comfortable" (place) or even "pleasant" or "easy to get along with" (person). I tend to agree that it's difficult to translate exactly. David.
Brian, Two problems….first is that this is the Autodesk Software forum, not the Autodesk AutoCAD forum (GO ACAD to get to the right forum). Secondly the AutoCAD forum has just gone through a reorganization and the new dealer's section is 16….not 15 and the file DGRDWG.ZIP is in there.
AAPro 1.3
Message #97499
Hi, I just bought AAPro 1.3 and found that the fonts are unusable. Some other fonts (e.g. Linotype's Gil) cause the system to crash or are incorrectly read in. For my purposes (we do lots of titling for presentations, etc.) the program is unusable. Any tips? The other thing I…
Michael, > "Go Aretail". jonas[adesk]
"Gemuetlich" simply means "comfortable". Of course, German coloquial usage of the word can differ slightly from American, but it would always be translatable, and anyone with a little analoguous logic could figure out what was being said. John Tissavary (LUNA cie)

#Help with LT

Hi, What is the proper place to get help with LT? Thanks Michael Pallett
John: The word "gemutlich" cannot be translated in English. At least that is what was drilled into me some thirty or so years ago. Regards, Reza

Dave, > Sure there are people who have gotten 3ds to run in windows. 3DS under windows ceases to be a production tool (too slow). Also, pg 95 of the advanced users guide, outlines the process and pg 98 outlines the restrictions of using 3ds3 under windows. After reviewing this…
#3DS and Windows
Message #97105
Has anyone been able to get 3DS to run in Windows?
Yes, those are the books I'm thinking of, along with the obligatory chapters on DXF in most other AutoCAD books. And I've been meaning to get a copy of the Lexicon, too. I ordered your DXF book directly from the publisher, by FAX. I included my VISA credit card number.…

#Generic CADD 6.0
Message #96917
Where do I find printer and vidio updates for Generic CADD 6.0 and Generic 3D ?
But there are several US companies who already publish DXF-ish books that are not as good as yours! I wish you'd had better luck. Meanwhile, I'll continue to pencil in the English versions of German words I've figured out on my own. I'm of German extraction, among others, and I…
Dietmar, Thanks very much. I'll be exploring your list of options.

Your book is in German. I have no idea what you mean when you say "while most of the book is multilingual, the basic text is written in german language." I'm not a language chauvinist, but I do wonder why you wrote the book in German, if you have a…

Hello SysOp, last week I got an illegal copy of your program 3D Studio. I am so fascinated by what can be done with it, that I want to buy the program. Please tell me the price of it and where I can obtain it. Thank you very much !…
FCAD to DXF
Message #96356
Is there a way to open and / or convert Fast CAD 2.0 files to DXF or DWG for use with Autosketch 2.0 ? I am trying to assist an associate with numerous building documentation in FCAD format and no way to access it. Thanks in advance for any ideas…
I think 3DS install on CD-ROM was on several people's R4 wish list. We'll see… John Tissavary (LUNA cie)
Yuck!!! I hadn't thought about factory disks being infected. I just always kinda figured those were safe. Do you know if 3D Studio will ever come on CD-ROM? T'would be nice! KC
Tom, You can call 800/879-4233 to get the name and number of an authorized multimedia dealer nearest you. (That is, if no one else jumps in with a reply.) – Jack
#Sell me 3DS R3
Message #96164
Hello 3DS Dealers, I'm located in Orlando, FL and I need to purchase 3DS from you immediately. Please reply with contact information via CIS mail. Thanks, Tom
As has been mentioned, you need media, manuals and hardware lock. I'd be happy to verify the 3DS serial number as valid and help with the transfer of license if you wish. Via mail, not forum, please. Regards, Jeff Eisel
Lance, As long as they have original disks, manuals and licence agreement, your copy will be totaly legal and upgradable. You will need to transfer the licence into your name. Call your Multimedia dealer or Custumer Service at 707-794-1450 to find out about transferrring your licence. -Brian
Where are you located? In the US, 3DS costs $2,995 or something like that (@ $3K). If the software was legally obtained, and includes the docs, hardware lock, and you get a transfer of ownership (through an Adesk Multimedia dealer), then it's 100% "legal". If you're in Europe, I know…
I've had factory distribution disks do all sorts of caca, like not install, be corrupt, even give me Michelangelo Virus! IMHO, floppies really suck, and software of this size must come on CD-ROM. John Tissavary
#Buying older version ?
Message #96027
I Have someone who is willing to sell me an older version of 3ds with all the manuals , As I am not a serious 3d person I would only be playing with it and I cannot see spending $4,000 for a current version to just play , just the…
#Damaged Disks
Message #96013
I was FINALLY able to get through to Adesk today and they advised me the same way you did. I haven't ever had that happen before with installation disks. Kinda wierd! Thanks, KC
That's what I figured. I didn't know if I should call Adesk first or what. Thanks, KC
Robert, Are you really distributing the video drivers that shipped with Animator Pro? OR are you distributing the Windows Player that shipped with Animator Pro? In the case of the Windows Player, you don't need anything. It is shareware, and our copyright is built into the player. Distribute it at…
Kelly, > The process to replace those discs goes through your dealer. Call your dealer and they'll instigate the process. jonas[adesk]
Probably the fastest thing for you to do is contact your nearest, bestest Adesk Multimedia dealer and have him arrange to replace the faulty disk. John Tissavary (La Luna cie)
#Damaged Disks
Message #95811
Jonas, I just purchased my own copy of 3D Studio r3 for home the other day. When I went to install it tonight, it gave me an data error on disk 5. I did a surface scan on this disk and it is damaged somehow. I tried to call Autodesk…
Robert, If your answer comes off-line, would you mind letting me know the answers to questions? Thanks. Mike
