Chuck, Thanks for the excellent reply on the Designer. It sounds very useful. As much as I like what I can do with AME, I equally dislike doing it. I hope they offer it as an upgrade to AME. It is usually much easier for me to find someone where I work to pay for an upgrade than a new product. (I work for a large corporation, but it is run somewhat like hundreds of tiny independent companies, each with their own small budgets. I usually work as sort of an independent consultant within the company and generally have to con, er., convince a particular group that a purchase will benefit them. Often, it is easier to just buy the stuff myself, but $1500 is a little over my limit today. <g>) R12c2-DOS only? Oh no! I "upgraded" to the Windows AutoCAD for modeling with 3DS, since I could run both of them under Windows and transfer DXF files. This way I didn't have to exit one application to start the other to make the next piece. Now I'm running with two machines on a network and this is no longer important. And now, DOS-only designer. Do you happen to know how much Autodesk will charge to "take back" my Windows ACAD and return my DOS version? >>showing in Wichita on Feb. 2… Watch out for the groundhogs. I live in Oak Ridge, Tennessee (near Knoxville), a little too far to walk. I'll call the local AutoCAD "dealer" fifteen or twenty times and leave messages. Maybe he'll call me back this time. Ha. Thanks again for real information. Ever consider moving to Tenn? <g> JKJ
