DrawPerfect
Message #175250
I haven't seen much about Drawperfect in the data libraries. Is most of the "clip art" in the libraries here mostly scanned art, or are there true structured drawings here, too? Also, has the WPG format changed since the release of DrawPerfect? I have the WPCorp programmer's kit for .WPG…
Joan, Thanks, I'll check 'em out. Steve
Steve, I'm pretty sure than one or another of the clipart files I've checked out for posting in Library 3 has had a set of (stylized) zodiac symbols, but I don't remember which one. —Joan
#Clipart wanted
Message #175072
Has anyone seen a package or several images of the Zodiac (Astrology) signs? I would like to find all 12 (or representations of them- a bull, ram, scorpion, crab, etc..) and would like them all to at least be the same format. Any help would be appreciated. Steve
.GEM to PCX
Message #175004
Does anyone know of a program to convert .GEM files to PCX?
Okay, will send you a disk by mail. Arnie
#HG2WP Grey Scale Convert
Message #174942
RE: Tracking #SMW2304 Arnie, After researching your problem with converting a 16 color chart from Harvard Graphics in HPGL and CGM format, it has been determined that this needs to be logged as a BUG here at WordPerfect. In order to log this information into the BUG database there is…
Randy, check out the program GIF2WP.ARC in Library 3, which will convert the files to .WPG format. —Joan
Grab/Harvard Graphics
Message #174858
I have had previous success using the Grab screen capture utility to capture screens created in Harvard Graphics But recently when I try to use it, it appears to capture the image but when you retrieve the GRAB.WPG file it is blank and only takes up about 102 bytes every…
Yuck. Is there one available with the source code so that it could be made a proper monochrome program?
#Importing GIF files
Message #174825
Any ideas about ways to print GIF files downloaded from the Graphics or Photo forums on CIS in WordPerfect? -Randy Barth, Washington, DC
Well… They will work with CGA emulators such as HGCIBM. (use the -H command line switch).
Wishlist: All of the above to be taken care of in DrawPerfect. Far-out wish list: Support for allowing one variable in a scatterplot to control the size of the dots in the scatterplot and for dot plots. I hope the designers of DrawPerfect have read or will read the following:…
#DrawPerfect Wishlist
Message #174705
Since WPC has announce DrawPerfect I thought it might be interesting for those of us who have used other drawing and charting programs to comment about what we like and dislike about other such programs and our wishlist for DrawPerfect. If this thread were then sent on to the appropriate…
They don't seem to be set up for Hercules boards, just CGA.
Gene, I don't know about "the experts", but I was happy to lend a hand. I am a fairly new user to WP 5 myself. I just happened to go through the same problem a short while ago _AND_ happened to be the first one to see your message. That…
#Drawing Programs
Message #174587
Take a look at my shareware drawing and CAD programs available here in LIB 3. PC-Draft II is a painting package that saves drawings in GEM .IMG format (amoung others) that can be direcly imported into WP5. The CAD program: PC-Draft-CAD can save WPG (vector based) files directly. The registration…

Also, take a look at my shareware CAD program: PC-Draft-CAD available here in lib 3. It is very easy to use, imports DXF and WPG files and directly outputs WPG format.
Thanks Guy, It worked! Plotting to a file configured for my Houston Instruments DM52 did not work but when I used your HP 7475 configuration with GRAPHCNV it worked like a charm. I always say, "Go to the experts!" Gene
Graphics Options??
Message #174521
Hi All, I want to know what it's the application of the option number 8 "distance top paragraph" in the options menu of the Graphics menus. Thanks, Rafael
WPCCSG is WordPerfect Corporations CompuServe Support Group (newly formed). —Joan
Gene, I had a similar problem while trying to import images from DesignCAD 3. The native file, converted to dxf format would not load. What I finally came up with which worked very well (with several kind suggestions from the membership here) was to go into the setup routine and…

Mike, that capability is built into the 5.1 printer drivers when appropriate, with a Print Option of having the copies generated by either WP or the printer. tr

Message #174413
This sounds like a great capability to build into WP, Randy. . . Roxanne, if you're lurking, please count one vote here for "overlay" capability, addressing the LJ independent of the doc's margins, etc. tr
Terri, what is CSG, as in WPCCSG? tr
#Importing AutoCAD
Message #174402
I am unable to import an AutoCAD version 10 image into a WP 5.0 Figure box. The manual suggests that the native AutoCad *.dwg file format can be imported. I get an incorrect format error message with all of the following: 1. the native *.dwg file format, 2. an ASCII…

Autosketch also by Autodesk is a simpler program than AutoCad with all of the basic features. Version 2 will allow import of .DXF files created in AutoCad which can be edited in Autosketch. Cost is under $100. Drawings can be saved as .PLT or .DXF and input directly into WordPerfect.…

RE:HG2WP Grey Scale Convert Arnie, We received your message concerning the problem with importing a 16 color chart from Harvard Graphics into WordPerfect using WP's GRAPHCNV program only printing in 4 shades of grey. I have asked Suzanne Wagstaff to look into this problem. She should be contacting you soon…

You can improve the quality of Freelance-to-WP text by printing to an HPGL file in Freelance, running the resulting file through GRAPHCNV (not strictly necessary but it reduces the size of the file), and using the result in WP. There is a discussion of Freelance/WP issues somewhere in the DL's…
