Elsewhere on this thread is a message I wrote to Bill Sako. It was meant for Tom Podnar and his flame on Autodesk's SCO Unix efforts. To continue the reply: Tom, you say you support customers. So to a certain extent you are selling, I am assuming. I am a…
Good stuff. On the other hand, your customer should not count on the DWG format staying the same from release to release. You should notify your customer that your routines will need regular (chargeable) maintenance with each new AutoCAD release. Thinks…. Xfrefs can be nested – and stored anywhere on…
Regarding previous message regarding SCO shipping date: I have not double-checked this – so cautious anticipation please. Tom: It takes between six to 12 months or morew to port AutoCAD to a new platform. When operating systems change as fast as SCO is changing, it is difficult to stay in…
If I understand a voice mail correctly, R11 SCO UNIX is shipping December 2, 1991! Ladies and Gentlemen, you can place your orders today…
I am just moving house – so still do not have acces to my full library. There are better screen capture tools out there. Do you know PC Mag's book on DOS with two diskettes of utilities? It has a screen capture utility that might be better. PC Tools also…
Did you look at the .XLG file? In simple ASCII text, it lists all the Xrefs that a drawing has used. A simple string parser should be all that is needed to allow you to download the required Xrefs.
Last year I worked on several parametric 3D spiral routines – which I call "Spiralitis". I gave up because I did not know enough about spring and screw manufacturing and could not access such expertise. Cany you send any drawings of the springs you have in mind? I especially want…
Yes, if you do not mind loading AutoCAD. No, probably not, if you want to extract this information without loading AutoCAD. The AutoCAD data file format is not released – because it can change with each new release (See also other threads on this topic). More specific answers require more…
AutoCAD creates and updates a log file that records actions during Attach, Detach, and Reload of Xrefs. It is an ASCII text file with a .XLG extension. Perhaps this can help.
I'm way behind with my own Mac technology – so I'll let the heavy-duty Macaroons answer you – if they can. I'll just say that, I think, Autodesk's job is to try to keep all hardware vendors happy. If Autodesk were to annouce that a particular configuration worked better than…

SCREEN CAPTURE
Message #21651
What is your objective? What are you trying to do? Are you trying to cut and paste ASCII text? If so, then try Windows 3.0 or DesqView. Have you tried piping: "DIR > Filename.txt"? Many possible answers….

#MAC 11 ???????
Message #21650
Looking at what I have, R11 Mac shipping date is still "Estimated" – which means that a definite shipping date is not yet fixed. In any case it's not going to be in 1991. Regarding AME, the commitment is to try get AME on all AutoCAD supported platforms. I'll see…

Employee Material
Message #21640
It's quite archaic now. And still needs 10 to 30 hours to make it usable to anybody but but me. So I'll not put it up today. I would like to dress it up and make it work with some of the new features of Release 12. And all my…
