Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Hi Chris,
Have you tried opening up any AutoCAD drgs in TurboCAD? I've been told that there is supposed to be compatibility. If there is, I have some
interesting detail drgs.

I've just been using it as a self contained package so far Dick, maybe you could send me a sample drawing and I'll try it.
Cheers

I use Turbocad 6.5 and it opens most cad files inc. autocad files usually with no problems. It was a freebie on a mag cover, all you had to do was
register on the web.

Hi PTM,
Howya doin'? I've got AutoCAD r14, which was offered for free !!! Went back to college yesterday a.m., just to get a little more instruction (free
so far). Their system uses A/CAD r2002. This has a few more "bells & whistles", which would be useful at professional level, but I can manage
without for home/hobby purposes.
Much more importantly, had a dekko at their m/c shop & welding facilities. I may well sign up for a welding course.

I woke up this morning and found that my computer had 'accidentally' downloaded AutoCAD 2002 all by itself with a popular file sharing client that I
must have 'accidentally' left opened overnight. Whoops!
I decided to write it to a CD and keep it for evaluation purposes only.
I wouldn't mind sending you a CD if you too are interested in evaluating the package. I also have the Learning Assistant CD although that is for
2000 (probably pretty much the same though).

Hi Chris,
Did you get the AutoCAD sample drawing I sent? And did it load into TurboCAD successfully?
It may be that drgs have to be transferred in DXF format.

Hi Dick,
Sorry for the delay, I've been trying to open the pic, but no joy so far.
Whats the process for changing to DXF?
Cheers

Hi liam... I did look at autocad 2002 until i saw the price ( bloomin fortune£££££££) so if you could possibly send a copy it'd be great.(only for
evaluation purposes naturally)
I've finally got my choice of engine, running gear, and overall look sorted in my head all i need to do is sit at the computer for a few
hrs...(weeks more likely) and get it all planned.
i've e-mailed my address. much thanks
