Brian, I work for IFR Systems, Inc. in Wichita, KS (you may have seen some of our avionics or communication test equipment). We use AutoCAD for everything from Schematics, Printed Circuit Design, Mechanical Design, Production process, and Technical Publications. It is my humble opinion that you will find AutoCAD to…
Ken, Ugh! I understand. It *should* be much easier to align that window with the paper. We can manually set our P1, P2, and axis alignment point on our HPs (7580b, 7585b) to match any preprinted grid but the INitialize instruction in the AutoCAD plot file header will wipe that…
Peter, Ooo! That's even better! I likes it! I was beginning to wonder if Dennis and my little tennis match was sounding too much like a Shooker and Barp rerun… He!!. Can't let them have all the fun! Dave (Where's a friend when you need a good insult? The ACAD…
Gale, Dos 5 is advertised in Egghead for $59. Dave L.
Dave, I do believe I have read a few messages about said subject! Someone joked not to long ago that Brad Z's desk is piled to the ceiling with LTSCALE wishlists! (the response went something like build him a taller ceiling! ) BTW, We need to buy you a copy…
David, Sly! Very sly! Dave L.
Larry, Are you sure you can release that information? Thanks. I'd still like to know if it was received. I'd hate to wait until the day it is released to find that they never received my app. Dave L.
David, It would be a very interesting discussion to try and determine a "Right Way" to do anything! Most people I know of accept a reasonable attempt. I see your point! My frame of reference was limited to interfacing with printers and plotters through the standard serial and parallel devices…
Dennis, That does it! Les Nesman from WKRP is on his way over with a chopper full of live turkeys! (BTW, have a Happy Thanksgiving!) Ahem. It seems you can be just as testy and set off when confronted with equal classification and treatment! Touche' eh? Perhaps we are not…
Sue, I think that is what I suggested? I've slept since then! Drat! I was wishing for a bug. Just like Igor, I love bugs! Catch ya later! Dave L.
James, Hey! Before you leave! Per your suggestion I mailed a letter to the Release 12 beta coordinator. I have not received a word. Was it ever received? Thanks! Dave L.
Bill, I like the layer grouping (directory structure) idea. I think it is possible to work around that limitation with Release 11 and the new ADS and wildcard features. It would be nice if it was already designed into the user interface. Maybe you could get one of the guys…
Bonzai, I always try and have my Ducks in a row before I make a suggestion. If someone (like certain engineers around here) tries to answer with a simple response (because they have not given the matter much thought) I usually hit them with a 10 pound (frozen) Duck! (ever…
Peter, I think we have all tried at least once to rename a current layer the same as an existing one. I think that is why the best place to implement the feature would be in the place people try it first! I do little work with it but release…
Joe, Gotcha chief! Thanks! Now that I'm no longer a virgin I agree that uploading the description is enough. Be prepared for more Free and Shareware in the near future! Dave L.
Dennis, Me? Too Lazy? You bet! That is why I use AutoCAD! Change works wonders on entities not found in block definitions. Attedit is necessary for Attribs. Both of these are not necessary if I use (subst) to define a new group 8 value and update the entity but then…
Joe, Ok, I see what you mean. Rename may not be the *best* avenue. You may disagree with the implementation but I don't see you saying the feature is a bad one to ask for! Dave L.
Joe, Thanks! I have made my first attempt with the instructions left by Ken. I hope it came through ok? Dave L.
David, (I know! "Oh no, It's him again!" ) Could you suggest that text be accessable through the new Release 12 ADI? Thanks. Dave L.
David, Just a casual observation… It would seem to me that if you guys wish to interface with their hardware and they wish to sell product to your market that the two of you could work together instead of competing. That kind of vendor competition and finger pointing is the…
David, The Rename Command. Could you tell me why we are not allowed to rename a layer the same as an existing layer thus merging the two into one? I have a routine I use to modify a drawing from one groups layer standards into another and the only way…

Ken, Ok, So your saying there ain't no stinkin way to automate the upload. Gotta do it by the book! Gotcha chief! Sheesh! Dave L.
