Steve-The client says that they get this error w/ several different dwgs on this one Wyse and the dwgs run fine on other PC's (!?). they tried a new math co-processor in the Wyse but it still generates the HMATH error….our idea is that it's hardware related but since they…

Steve-Did you ever get the DXF file that you wanted from Cris at Intel?? Did you or Brad Z. explore my bug report (?) about the "quit" on the tablet menu requiring a redundant pick of "quit" again on the screen menu to get out of the dwg.?? Thanks Randy@avcom

JRI replied to an old message of yours about acad/Apollo support and mistakenly mailed it to Jamie Clay 'stead of you. Could you call me (or Brad Bishop)at your convenience next week for the gist? It may show u up here in dealers only or ?? Thanks Randy@avcom 415.326.8686 Avcom…

Bug Report?? Message #22123
From: Avcom Autodesk · AutoCAD April 22, 1988 1:25 PM
Brad-any thots on why picking "quit" from the tablet menu area requires you to say "quit" again AND say "yes" at the screen menu?? Didn't it used to just require you to pick "quit" from the tablet and then just pick "yes"in 2.6?? Me and some clients were wondering… Thanks…
#rel 10 template Message #22050
From: Avcom Autodesk · General April 20, 1988 1:49 PM
Jamie – I know I asked this once before, but is there any chance we could get an idea of whats gonna change on the AEC & regular templates so we'd be current when we display the AutoPAD at the show in May?? Even if I had a sketch or…

Tech-niks… Todays list starts w/ a user who gets "fatal error:smio1" with a certain file and I imagine its the diskette or the file has taken "a hit" but I thought I'd ask. 2nd is a client who wants to chng the plot sizes in her plot menu (a,b,c,d etc)to…

#Wishlist Message #21765
From: Avcom Autodesk · Wishlist April 11, 1988 9:46 PM
Brad–Are there any plans in the future releases of the unix-based acad to move the "set-up.lsp" file from /usr/acad/lisp to /usr/acad/dwgs where it might do some good?? Are we the only dealer that runs acad from /acad/dwgs?? I usually come along to do the training after the install has been…

J-Have you got any insight into how we might lobby for allowing the use of our AutoPAD w/ the Unix Rel9 on Sun machines? We get the Apad from Kurta and they say we have to talk to Sun to find out the address they devote to the mouse port…

#21240 pcboard router Message #21246
From: Avcom Autodesk · AutoCAD March 28, 1988 7:54 PM
Bob-One thing I can vouch for is that AutoPCB uses the same Acad menus w/ a couple of additional picks in the layout & schematic capture cycle but I believe they walk you thru the routing part w/ their own menus. It was pretty easy and automagic. randy@avcom

From: Avcom Autodesk · AutoCAD March 28, 1988 12:32 PM
Corky/Craig-That soap-box is one that we also live on; the idea of service from a conscientious dealer is massively important as the hardware requirements and configurations evolve. We are trying to develop "if this, then this…"charts for all our tech staff (3.5 over stressed workaholics!) for the different hardware configurations…
