#ACAD release 10
Message #22260
Hi Jamie, I heard a rumor that after release10, ACAD will be running on a new O.S. If this is the case, what O.S. are we looking at. I am guessing that the logical way to go is OS2, and probably most users are inclined to think this way, but…
Brad, Bingo!, that's what I am after. If you could give me more info on this I would appreciate it. Once, I wrote a program that did a "dir > " then processes the filenames and had DBase read in the names to a datafield. Again, all of the other…
Brad, I have already this type of setup for configuring my plotters, but no, it's not really what I am after. As I mentioned earlier, when you have 500+ drawings to process, I feel that this type of approach would be too time consuming, hence the need for a more…
Craig, Yes that's the basic I wrote the PD program "PlotMate" on. I have a small routine that will extract info and write it out to a file in a "CDF" format. Then I have a template for PCFile and DBASE, whichever I decide to use that will import the…
Raymond: Thanks for the "Source", pardon the pun. I will look into that. Regards, Jim McMillan.
Brad, Yes, I would like to look at a routine to do that. I will look forward to your reply. Regards, Jim McMillan.
Brad, In any given project that we work on, the drawing content can reach 600 plus. My idea, originally was to write a lisp routine that prompted for drawing information, then wrote this data to a sequential file in a comma delimited manner. This I found to be awkward, since…
Dale, Just in case you get this before I can contact you by phone. I will talk to you about this, if I can contact you at your office, and if not, then I will leave my number with you sectetary. Regards, Jim MCMillan.

I would like to know if it is possible to extract information from a Drawing file "". I am looking at writing a program that can access binary files and extract information for data processing. The kind of information could either be in a text format or in the contents…
#Salaries & Cad
Message #21844
I thought I would seek the advice of the forum on this subject of salaries and Cad people. We are located in Ontario, Canada, and I have been assigned to look into salaries for Cad personel. This would include Cad operators, Cad system managers, Cad designers and so on. If…
Jamie, Yes, I always hope the ^C will allow me to DXFOUT and salvage the drawing, but in this case, I ^C as soon as the drawing is up, then the drawing will continue to load and eventually crash with that error. This worries me in that we took special…
ACAD ERROR
Message #21775
Hi, I have had an EREAD 1 1 error when trying to load one of my drawing files. This drawing is required urgently, and I am at a loss to understand why this occured. Let me explain, I use the System36 as a backup from my IBM AT, so there…
