Wayland, the ADI kit in complete form is no longer on the forum. You can download the Docs,(DL 10) but you need to purchase the kit from your dealer these days. ($100.00) Jamie

I am not sure, what font is missing? Please outline in more detail. Acad will not find files if they are in a directory it isn't using, or the files are not named correctly. Jamie
Easy enough, you upload it and enter the description FOR AUTODESK ONLY! Files when uploaded are put in a holding area so I can review them, no one else will see the file. Jamie
What version of AutoCAD are you using? If you have 2.6 or better you would be best off using 3dfaces. (It sounds like you don't have that capability) It's hard to tell you what to use when I don't know what you have, but if Pre 2.6, then the one…
Jim, Why it occurred? I can't say, somewhere the drawing took a hit. Have you tried the ^C method of recovery yet? (Page 401, top paragraph). I wish there was a pat answer and solution to EREADS, SMIOS and their relatives, but it can come from many areas. Voltage spikes,…
Bill, tell me if I have this straight. 1) Your lisp routine shells AutoCAD to DOS 2) It then copies .DWGs from some other portion of the hard drive to the current subdirectory. (Updating/Replacing similar .DWGS?) 3) You attempt to insert these drawings and they are still the old drawings,…
Sure, I love that kind of stuff . But do it soon, the "Expo crunch" is setting in and my time is getting a real squeeze. Jamie
You mean in greater than EGA resolution? I know there was a problem with some AutoSwitchs that warranted an upgrade from Paradise, but the standard EGA mode should work with the pull downs. Jamie
Well you must have the X-29 by now (it's in DL 1) and I should have the Ok to place the F-16 and stuff online. But no "dog fights". How about stunts? Jamie

"We're currently developing techniques for computing with diagrams and drawings," said mathematician Dr. William Bricken, head of the new research team. "A picture can represent an idea much more concisely than a string of words. The innovative contribution of boundary mathematics is to equate changing pictures with the act of…

Bad times
Message #21757
I tried and it works great. My question is, what's so hard about typing PKXARC ? NARC is real neat with the menus and stuff, perhaps it is better described as a .ARC file manager. I am the kind that unarcs the file once then stores the .ARC on disk…

A LAN specific version is on the wishlist and we have been improving the way AutoCAD works in the LAN world. Perhaps in one of the next releases well will see a Network version. Jamie

What was it you were doing to get the _CHECKFD error? Basically it indicates a problem with a file descriptor. Jamie

(And now Jamie for Counter point) Cap, I can agree that in that many 3rd party programmers are missing the mundane in search of the bells and whistles, the B.& W.s sell product. We supply a recommended ADI test procedure with the kit, if they fail to follow it, then…

Kelvinator

I will give you access to it. I am looking into the matter of putting the Kelvinator into the public section. I was not involved with the decision to segregate it in this fashion, that was set up this way before I took over. Jamie

3-d .dfx files
Message #21751
It was made in Release 9 and is an entity only DXF file. There should not be any problems bringing it into AutoCAD 2.6 or Release 9. What version do you have? Or if this is all being done in post processor, what level of AutoCAD was it written for?…

Don't have that issue. Well, people will buy/sell what they can. Most don't know the Kelvinator is "free for the asking". I wish them luck. (and can't wait till I get my issue of CADalyst.) Jamie

Have you had ANY machine work with this code? If not I would like to see it, can you upload a file here? (DL 9) It will not get on the public section so worry not and uploads are free. Jamie

I'll slide this past Robert and see if he has a trick up his sleeve. I remember this question was asked about a year ago and the answer was "no way", but that was a year ago, things may have changed. Jamie

Well Randy, 1) If this is a pline definition there will no doubt be a number of lines to delete. If all he does is delete the single line, the next line (in line) will cause the error. He needs delete everything up to the next entity call. 2) It…

I would wager your ACAD.PAT is missing or is a custom one that contains Patterns that ACAD.MNU isn't setup for. Are you getting the error message… Unknown pattern name. *Invalid* If so, I would make sure that ACAD.PAT is either in the ACAD directory or in the support directory. Jamie

What you have to do to get the VERTEX lists for a specific PLINE is to do an (entget (entnext pline)) where "pline" is the entity name for the PLINE you wish to search. You set up a while loop looking for an entity called a SEQEND. This is the…

Well, not in the way you would probably like. There have been some techniques discussed as to how this could be done. One was having a script file that fires up and re-configures AutoCAD for the new device. Another method (even slower) would be to have two cfg directories and…

Yes it is the same, you can download that or the larger, newer PKX35A.EXE that is in DL9 just now. Either will do the job and I know you will find them very useful. Jamie

There are no versions that support the Plot-10 Technicad directly, but there is a translator called Cadport (for about $2500.00) that will translate Plot-10 to DXF or IGES. You can contact Techtronix at 800-835-9433. Jamie
