DOes anybody have any news on the 3DSLIB that was supposed to be available from Autodesk? They aren't answering my faxes. Maybe if I send one every day…

Chris, Are you reffering to the files that are part of the developers toolkit? I'm not sure what you are looking for. Please give me more information. -Brian

Brian: I've got the IPAS developer's toolkit already, I refer to something that people have been calling the 3DSLIB – a library for writing code to interface with 3DS. For instance, I have a need to insert X,Y,Z position data for an object from the outside world into the positions of an object inside of 3DS. Do you have a developer's kit that does this? P.S. I also want to move atom coordinate data from Hyperchem into 3DS.

I have heard a couple of times recently, about folks wishing to get the Hyperchem data into 3DS. John Walker created CineChem which I believe does that, but I have been told that it never has been put through any QA and probably needs more work. In addition, it does not seem to be available outside of Autodesk (and so far, I've not seen it inside!). I'll ask Bob Bennett about CineChem. He's the Product Manager for 3DS, and will appreciate your interest in linking HyperChem to 3DS. Nik

What number are you directing those FAXes to? It may not be getting to the right folks. Nik
