#CAD Conversion
5 messages in this thread
Help,
Is there a file conversion utility that will allow me to view EasyCAD or
AutoCAD files? I do not need to modify or manipulate them, just look at and
print them. Please point me in the right direction.

Ditek's DynaCADD will import .DXF files, which AutoCAD definitely exports,
and which EasyCAD should export. You can then move files both ways, and
manipulate the files under any three of the programs. I do not know how
good the .DXF import is under DynaCADD, though.

Thanks,
However, I don't really want to buy a complete CAD package. Do you
know if the demo version will import and print the .DXF files?

Victor,
I do not know of a viewing program for Autocad but many Amiga CAD
programs will import them and then let you display them in their format,
Aegis/Oxxi's Draw 2000 comes to mind formost. I believe Ultra Design comes
with a CAD-Verter program to change formats between different programs. If
you do not have these programs but know someone who does they will import
autocad and save as IFF then you can view them with any iff viewer (with
quite a bit of lost detail).

Steve,
I guess I'm just looking for a cheap solution. I have some rocket
plans I downloaded from Modelnet that are in .DXF and .FCD format and all I
want to do is look at them and print them. There must be a way somewhere
without spending money on a program I won't use or a large download.
