Rod:
You should post AutoCAD-specific questions in the ACAD forum. ASOFT if for
the multimedia products.
There are a number of AutoCAD downward translators. CADalyst reviewed a
bunch of them in the April '91 issue. Autodesk supplies one called DXFIX
which is available in the ACAD forum and also on the B-Step disk that now
ships with AutoCAD. There are several other such programs available on the
ACAD forum as well.
My software company happens to market one of the programs reviewed in that
April issue of CADalyst. The Stripper reads either a DWG or DXF file
produced by any version of AutoCAD (R11-v2.5) and creates a DXF file
compatible with any target version (R11-v2.1). Give me a shout if you have
any additional questions.
