Message #191185
I had left a message about 2 weeks ago about the upgrade AAS. Still no upgrade. Can you shed some light? How can I verify that I am registered? Randale Sechrest Medical Multimedia Group
#Fonts in AA 1.3
Message #166540
Can anyone tell me if there are more fonts available for aapro than what comes with aapro1.3? Specifically the Windows TTF fonts? Randale Sechrest
Is Animator Studio available for upgrade? I'm ready if it is. Randale Sechrest
Thanks, I have played with it from the aspect of trying to change the z order, but not the focus angle. I'll give it a try. Randale
I already have the developers kit. I've just lost the VB manual. I was hoping I could get a replacement. Unfortunately, the VB custom control will not allow one to overlay text on an animation frame as far as I can tell. I was hoping you could tell me different.
Thanks. I'll be hanging around. Randale Sechrest
Brian, Thanks, but I've turned over the programming duties in Windows to my new programmer and he really needs a manual to refer to, since he is somewhat green at this sort of thing (being formerly a Mac accolyte). One specific question I do have, he is having trouble dealing…
Brian, I am a registered owner of the VB VBX toolkit for windows. I just started a project and realized I have lost my manual for using the VBX(that photocopied 30 or so page manual) I have the C+ manual but it doesn't have what I need. Is there any…

Animator Custom ContrVB
Message #123900
I am a registered owner of the VB developers kit for animator. Unfortunately, I have lost the manual for the VB. I have the one for C+. Can I get another copy of the programming info for VB? Randale Sechrest
Med Illustration
Message #123658
Paul, Our final output is computer graphics and 2D animation. We are moving into 3D more and more. Medical Illustration is a masters level training program that involves course work in gross anatomy (the same course that med students take), histology, etc. That is the training that the Illustrator that…

Does ani pro 1.3 run well with the ATI Ultra Pro VLB? randale
Power PC
Message #89998
Nik, Any ideas where the Power PC will fit in with Ani Pro? Will there be a version that will run native to the Power PC? Will the DOS version run on the Power PC platform? We're thinking of adding a new machine soon and could use that info. Thanks.…

Our company, Medical Multimedia Group has been developing patient education software for the PC. Our first product is now shipping- "A Patient's Guide to Low Back Pain". More orthopedic topics in the works. During the course of development we have amassed a fairly large library of graphics and 2D animations…
Terry, Can it be upgraded to R3? If so how much to upgrade? Randale
John, Yeah that's the problem. We are using Imagine and would like to import some Viewpoint .3ds models. We may just punt and get 3DS. I'll sure take you up on your offer later though, after our Viewp[oint models arrive. Randale

Message #80626

DOS 6
Message #54930
Nick, I haven't been following the posts on AAPRO 1.3 and DOS 6. I tried to install aa1.3 on a machine with DOS 6 and Orchid Proiis and it locks up at startup. I have been using 1.2 mainly because 1.3 would not run on my Matrox card (Impression 1024).…

Message #40410
PhilD, Thanks for the reply. What is the third parameter used for? Randale
Jack, I do need the dos driver for aapro for the impression 1024 from matrox. That may not have been clear from my post. I'm having problems with aawin with the Herc Chrome, but I can't get the new vesa driver in 1.3 to work with the matrox in dos.…
Impression 1024
Message #37381
PhilD, I'm still having a problem with AAP 1.3 accessing my Matrox board. What VESA driver ships with 1.3? I've tried everything and can't seem to get it to work. Randale
Sherwood, I'll take one of the Prodesigners and the ESDI drive. Randale C. Sechrest, MD 308 Louisiana Ave Libby, MT 59923 406-293-6262 Send COD When you say the drive works OK what does that mean? Randale
I think that maybe it is a hardware problem with my Matrox Impression, or perhaps a conflict. I have the board in a DEC machine with LB Video on the motherboard that has been disabled by jumper. I'm trying to figure out if that may have something to do with…
Yann, I've tried everything to get this baby to work, and I just can't seem to connect. Do you get it to work with 1.3 in 1024X768? What's the secret? Randale
PhilD, Thanks for the info! I think that my problem is with the TIGA driver from Herc since they have been able to fix at least some of it. One other question. I've just loaded 1.3 and can't get it to work in SVGA modes in the VESA driver with…
PhilD, Actually I get them in both versions, but I'm waiting anxiously for the VB control upgrade. When? Randale
Selden, If you really want a dynamite way to utilize animations in your educational programs check out GRASP (GO GRASP) as a programming scripting language. Nothing comes close to GRASP in allowing control over the presentation of graphics and animation. It's DOS based however, but that makes the animations smooth…
Phil, Not quite blazing, maybe lukewarm at this point. VB2 is definitely worth your nickel, much easier to use, much improved. How's the book coming? Randale
Selden, There is a custom control for VB that Autodesk sells that makes it easy to do what you want. Animator Pro runs in 640X480 and above. By the way what are you doing? I use animator and a host of things for developing patient education software as well, mostly…
Kurt, I have some problems with AAWIN and the VB player with a Hercules Chrome card as well. What type of symptoms are you getting? Randale
Phil, I ordered the one for 25.00. Is that the one you mentioned? BTW which is better for multimedia presentations Toolbook or VB? I'm trying to decide whether or not to spend the 500 bucks on toolbook or not. Randale
PhilD, Is the VB interface a DLL call or a custom control? Also, I have a new matrox card that has ADI drivers but no documentation on aapro. Can I run aapro with the ADI drivers for autocad? Randale
PhilD, Yeah, I thought it was bizarre too. Has the animation player in windows been upgraded in 1.3? Randale
Guys, I just bought a matrox board and it's great with apro although I don't know about 3ds. I'm having a problem with my Hercules Chrome board with AAWIN however and can't seem to get them to coexist, any ideas? Randale
AAWIN & Chrome 24bit
Message #28332
I have a problem with the AAWIN version 1.0 and a TIGA 34020 based Hercules Chrome 24bit board. The AAWIN doesn't like the TIGA drivers I think. Any solutions? Randale
Dan, I'll let you know if I'm interested, unfortunately I'm a little overtaxed with hardware purchases at the moment. Randale
Thanks. Randale
Daniel, How bout 3DS price? Randale
#AA PRO & WINDOWS
Message #6471
John, I'm a proud new owner of AAP. I noticed that if I have Himem.sys in my config.sys that AAP doesn't use the 8 megs of memory I have. Is there some way I can use DOS 5.0 and the HMA effectively and still have access to extended memory for…
