Tom – Currently, AutoCAD can create SOLIDs or 3DFACEs out of traingular and quadrilateral pieces only, and there's no way to suppress the lines between pieces. In Release 10 we're planning to add an "invisible edge" option for the 3DFACE command, but I'm afraid there's no way to do it…
Ed – The Sun has a built-in Ethernet connection and runs Sun's Network File System (NFS) software. All you need is an Ethernet card and Sun's PC-NFS software for the PC. That'll allow the PC to read from and write to the Sun's hard disk directly. And, as of AutoCAD…
Leif – Let me try to answer your questions about the HP LaserJet printer plotter driver. 1. AutoCAD can't tell how much memory the printer has. Rather than ask an obscure question that will confuse many users, it follows HP's recommended practice of resetting. It also deletes all soft-fonts that…

ERRORS
Message #21732
Mark – a _CHECKFD error indicates that AutoCAD was attempting to read, write, or close a file, but found that its file descriptor was no longer valid. This may indicate an AutoCAD bug. What version of AutoCAD are you using, and with what hardware? Under what circumstances did this message…
John – From the start, we've intended to be a software company, not merely a CAD company. AutoCAD was our first product that "hit", so we put all our effort into it and have made it an industry standard. But we haven't lost the desire to open other new markets…

An addendum to Jamie's reply: AutoCAD polylines are 2D, so all their vertices have the same elevation (Z). .

TBLNEXT Function
Message #21589
Actually, Ray, there is a problem with (tblnext), and you happen to be the fourth person to run across it in the last week and a half. It always seems to be that way — a problem will exist in the released version for two years, and suddenly everyone will…

Mark – In order to produce a printer-plot, AutoCAD must scan the drawing and rasterize it, converting the vectors into pixels to be sent to the printer. The pixels are stored in a large memory area (bitmap), the size of which depends on the resolution of the printer and the…
