Is BlockSOLID new in R11 ? I don't know what BlockSOLID is in german. Oh I hate this german translation. It is so bad. Lots of typos and errors. –Chris

Chris, BlockSOLID works in both R10 & 11. It is relatively new. We FINALLY got our German ACAD and will be attempting to port it a couple weeks. We will not attempt to make a "complete translation", but will just make sure that it runs with the German Language AutoCAD. As a part much of the analysis, it generates "data exchange file" to interface with external "C" routines. On of these files is ALL of the face entities (3D faces, P-face meshes & MxN meshes (r10 meshes)) that are choosen. These "temp" files are erased during the commands execution, but a "timely" CTRL-C or two would preserve these files. Ang

Thanks. Is BlockSOLID a product? I thought it was a built in standard ACAD command. –Chris

>> thought BlockSOLID was a command Chris, No, in fact BlockSOLID is a product designed, programmed and marketed by my company Dynamic Technologies, of Burtonsville MD. BlockSOLID itself has many command for operating on and getting information from AutoCAD surface entities. Our latest release (which is almost de-bugged) has some neat stuff like Surface Offsetting (SOFFSET), Surface Editting (SEDIT) and a HELIX command for designing springs, worm gears, drills, tapered and twisted wings, etc.. If you would like, I'd be glad to send'ya a brochure. Ang
