Duff, Here's my wishlist: Problem: As users build a large library of blocks over the years, management becomes a problem. The usual solution is to seperate these file into different sub-directories. It is not unusual to have a very long path such as "c:\blocks\mech\bearings\roller\RB32899.dwg". Such long path names prevent the…
Jeff, The RAMDRIVE will only have *bad* effects on AutoCAD. No advantage to using one. Don't use RAMDRIVE. Ken ///
Jon, Get a copy of Cyco's AutoSave. It'll convert damaged drawing files to DXF. Their number is 1-800-323-2926 in the US. Also, 404-634-3302. Ken Elliott /// CAD Masters
Robert, One point on which I believe we both agree. If the draftsman perceives the card as slow, its slow. If he's happy, well…. Ken /// CAD Masters
Larry, Logitech mice: They are all known as LogiMouse. First they had the old 'wedge' mouse in a serial, then bus version. Same mouse, different interface, both 200 ppi resolution. I've had no problems with either. Then they introduced the 'hi-rez' mouse, bus version only, wedge case, stripes on top,…
Larry, Uh… by Logimouse, do you mean the low-end model, or the older model, or the bus mouse? I've used all but the low-end model. No problems. Except when Wolf gets kurta fever and can't find a puck to bury… Ken /// CAD Masters

Jerry, Years ago I got into AutoCAD and decided to build my own system. I made a *big* mistake in not trying to find a *good* *knowledgeable* AutoCAD dealer. Most of the hardware I purchased was fine, except for the $2000 graphics board from a 'name' brand computer company. The…
Robert, I agree that benchmarks such as GRPERF are wonderful to diagnose peformance of drivers and cards. Your 0 width polyline example is a good one. As you noted, you would not have found this problem without your test. Doesn't this reflect how little the user notices such things? I…
Larry, My comment was sorta ment in jest. But…. The MS Mouse interface is well defined. Lots of folks us it, so if the code doesn't work, plenty of people scream until it does. Now, if your MSM interface code is OK, but you have bugs in the Logitech interface…
