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

No, Randy, I haven't received that .DXF file yet. Maybe it will arrive soon. As for the redundant QUIT, sorry for the non-response. This redundancy could be considered another check before dumping out of the dwg, rather than a bug. Nonetheless, I'll see if it was meant to be that way or should be changed. BTW, if you or your customers don't like it this way, it would be easy to fix by modifying the .MNU file. You could even eliminate the Yes/No if you want to live dangerously! =SM=

Steve-Y'know, I did try to modify my acad.mnu to see if I could fix it and I couldn't find which "quit" it was on the menu. I thot it was @ "UTIL", I believe , but it didn't work the first time so I filed it for "later"…Show me the line to look for ??? Also I wanted to write a macro to draw construction lines from specified endpoints automatically and I had ttrouble defining the 2nd point w/ "@n<90" or "@n<0"….do I need to put in a " \ " to allow that point to be picked or can I do it w/ polar co-ords???? I tried both ways and neither worked for me. Help?? Randy@avcom
