#133197- DWG Deciphered? Message #133328
From: Mike Dickason Autodesk AutoCAD Forum · AutoCAD August 24, 1993 3:33 AM
The few bugs that I've encountered in Marcomp's package, Matt was real quick to fix and get me an update. It is in his best intrest as well to get things fixed quickly.
#132126- ACAD r.12 and HP 4L? Message #132272
Bud: >> thought I'd see if you have had probelms with paper jambs as well. Actually, we do get a fair share of them, but it seems that they tend to happen only when the paper supply gets really low. Mike
#132192- Plot files Message #132271
From: Mike Dickason Autodesk AutoCAD Forum · AutoCAD August 18, 1993 4:05 AM
Rickie: With R11c2, we always printed to a file, so I don't know if you can or not. What happens when you try? Mike
#132156- R12 buglist format poll Message #132270
From: Mike Dickason Autodesk AutoCAD Forum · AutoCAD August 18, 1993 4:05 AM
David: >> So… what about your "circle that doesn't hide bug?" Where is it? Careful… you're about to get two very large lists for the latest bugs. Mike
#132131- c2 upgrade woes!!! Message #132269
From: Mike Dickason Autodesk AutoCAD Forum · AutoCAD August 18, 1993 4:05 AM
David: >> It includes a zip file of the updated drivers / documentation and a >> exe file that patches your acad.exe (fixes the Insert ~ renaming the >> drawing). It is available from the library here on CIS and from our Global >> Village BBS. It got pulled from…
#132248- R12- Windows or DOS???? Message #132268
From: Mike Dickason Autodesk AutoCAD Forum · AutoCAD August 18, 1993 4:05 AM
Tony: >> How good is the ACAD for Unix based workstations like SparcStations, >> ect.? Can't help you there. I'm a DOS user to the core, and have probably spent 3 hours total on a Sparc, and most of that was playing flight simulator. Mike
#132222- AutoCad Rel 10 Install Message #132267
From: Mike Dickason Autodesk AutoCAD Forum · AutoCAD August 18, 1993 4:05 AM
Susan: I went back and dug through some old messages. The FMTOUT error is coprocessor related. I don't remember what kind of machine you have. If it is a 386, try reseating the math chip to see if it fixes the problem. Also, make sure the BIOS recognizes that the…

Jake: Thanks for the info. We ended up talking with Diamond and downloaded the file Friday afternoon. I'll try it out Monday AM. By coincidence, we received another 10 of the Gateway 486-33's in Friday morning, and all ten had the ATI Ultra card. Initial reaction was that we didn't…
#33974- ACAD settings Message #34187
From: Mike Dickason Autodesk AutoCAD Forum · AutoCAD February 22, 1992 4:03 PM
Don: Make sure that you have indeed upgraded the Pharlap to V2.6. Also, in your config.sys you have "device=c:\dos\emm386.exe ram". This defaults to only 256K of extended memory. Your status output which shows only 240k total extended ram was a dead giveaway. You need to do one of three things….…
From: Mike Dickason Autodesk AutoCAD Forum · Hrdware/Drvrs/ADI February 22, 1992 4:03 PM
Steve: I think the 2.16C is just the version for the dldsetup. Try getting into the drawing editor and type "DLDVERS". If it like ours, it will say "Version 1.20A Speedstar". The word I got was that this is a buggy version of the Panacea driver, and there is a…
From: Mike Dickason Autodesk AutoCAD Forum · Hrdware/Drvrs/ADI February 21, 1992 1:12 AM
Jake: We're having problems with the DLD driver which is currently shipping with the Speedstar cards in the Gateway 2000 machines. The driver is version 1.20A. The problem is as soon as we execute any command which attempts to highlight an entity, the system locks up and we have to…
From: Mike Dickason Autodesk AutoCAD Forum · Applications February 21, 1992 1:12 AM
Steve: You might try out a program here on the forum call WCEDIT. It was designed specifically for editing menus and lisp files. The copy here on the forum is a time restricted demo, but I think the registration fee for the full working copy is well worth the money.…
#33836 Xref List Message #33918
From: Mike Dickason Autodesk AutoCAD Forum · AutoCAD February 21, 1992 1:12 AM
Gary: Glad you liked the program. I'll give you a call in the AM. I'm in Alaska so I'm 4 hours behind you, so it will just before lunch your time before you here from me. Mike
#33663 Xref List Message #33802
From: Mike Dickason Autodesk AutoCAD Forum · AutoCAD February 20, 1992 2:46 AM
Gary: I just recently uploaded a program which does what you asked for. It reads the .dwg file directly and lists the menu file (with path), fonts (with paths), and all XREF's, including any nested XREF's. It can be used to process a single drawing, or a directory, or a…
#28489 AutoLisp Scripts Message #28533
From: Mike Dickason Autodesk AutoCAD Forum · AutoLISP/ADS January 14, 1992 3:11 AM
Dennis: One slightly messy way to close the current script file is at the command prompt run the script command and specify "." as the scriptname to run. I say messy because it displays a message stating that the specified script file could not be found, but it does the…
#21779 #DCA Tablet dwg Message #21809
From: Mike Dickason Autodesk AutoCAD Forum · Applications November 25, 1991 12:41 AM
Dennis, Whoa! This thread started out about whether or not DCA supplied the >>DWG
#21682 #DCA Tablet dwg Message #21700
From: Mike Dickason Autodesk AutoCAD Forum · Applications November 24, 1991 1:01 AM
Dennis- Any copies you saw must have been created in house. It doesn't really take that long if you start with the one provided with AutoCAD. We tried a couple of times to get a copy from DCA/Softdesk and got shot down each time. Mike
#21624 #STACKER COMPRESSION Message #21699
From: Mike Dickason Autodesk AutoCAD Forum · Hrdware/Drvrs/ADI November 24, 1991 1:01 AM
Does Unerase in DOS 5.0 or in Norton Utils work with stacker? That would be the deciding factor for our office. Mike
