DWG Deciphered?
Message #133587
It was a precedent, it was greatly speculated over, and it didn't get *yanked*.
I guess if you haven't been following the ebb and flow of the forum over the last couple of years you wouldn't understand the political implications of an Autodesk Registered developer selling access to the DWG code to AutoCAD's #1 competitor.
Intergraph announced in their press release over DWG that Marcomp supplied the library. There was some discussion on the Forum whether Marcomp would loose its Registered Autodesk Developer status for that–they didn't. However, it took Bentley Systems a year to produce the DWG-write code to work between MicroStation and the…

Cheaper, too!
Yes, it's done in software. The board's 256-colors are anti-aliased down to 16 colors. Isn't it amazing how software is taking over hardware? Software display-list processing, software disk-doublers (Stacker), software disk caching, software memory managers, software anti-aliasing, and in VMI's case, RenderReady software that does an effective job of fooling…
No, I've never ghosted for David. Ah ha: so you do have a reason to advertise in the Generic CADD section: "You've been using Generic CADD with Panacea drivers. Now move up to AutoCAD and blah, blah, blah…" Regards, Ralph G.
Ah, but you are wrong. I, in fact, wrote two editorials (one under my name, another under someone else's name), as well as I've done plenty of editorializing. What? You haven't had your staff write any GenADI drivers yet? Ralph
Interesting…the price in US was only $3,000. CAD/camera was released in 1986 as Autodesk's second software release after AutoCAD. It attempted to do intelligent conversions. CAD/camera 2 would place raster groupings of 40 pixels or smaller on their own layer; these were considered text or small blocks. CAD/camera was responsible…
Not 100% right. I write Cadence's monthly column on ShareWare that I download from CIS. So the code might be from CADalyst or Cadence–Larry's message is unclear. Regards, Ralph G.
PC Magazine has an interesting ad contract. You can purchase, say, 22 ad insertions for a great discount, and then run an insertion(s) any time you want in a given add period. You're not tied to any particular issue. (I think that's what Zeos must be using for their ads!)…
Sure. The AutoCAD/MicroStation Seminar is being held tomorrow (Tuesday, 26 November) at Infomax Computers, downtown Vancouver. There are two sessions, one at 9:00 am and one at 1:00 pm. Rob Melnyk will demo the features of MicroStation, I'll demo the features of AutoCAD. He'll talk about peacefull coexistance (they have…

#Cadalyst or Cadence??

Darn, that doesn't give me much incentive to keep writing.

Hot is faster, of course. You can catch a cold! Ralph
