Paul – a "couple" usually means two! <g> OK… here's a beginning… 1. AutoPLANT is a series of third party programs for plant design. There are at least four modules: Designer, Isometrics, P&ID and Schematics. They are published by Engineering Design Automation (EDA) who can be reached at 510.848.7080. 2. Cadalyst magazine just published a lisp routine that checks transmission line clearance, but only in 2D (i.e., presumably from the ground, and not from the ground and adjacent rock faces or trees or whatever). If you're interested in checking it out, it can be downloaded from Lib 9 "What's New"; filename is PPSAG.ZIP. The routine and the application were described in the October '91 issue. 3. The heavyweights in drawing management are Autobase, from CYCO International in Atlanta (404.634.3302) and AutoEDMS from ATS Telecom (no number handy, sorry). Cadalyst will be reviewing four such programs in the May 1992 issue. 4. Bang is published by CAD Lettering Systems of Oldmar FL (813.855.2681). 5. Are you looking for one application that will run under both AutoCAD and Microstation? I dunno…. Don't know how that would work. Dave ATS Telecom
