Hi Wolf,
I found out the DXF file that comes out of TCad worked with
all the programs I was testing. The other CAD programs had DXF
files that were glitchy. Several programs tell you to save the
file in ACAD14 format or something old like that. $30 and it
cought my eye in a regular store. It runs on computers that are
older than the requirements on the box. With Windows 95 it may not
install. The problem is the program install part of Win95. I found
you just click on one of the EXE on the TCad CD and it goes right in.
Also there is a copy of COREL Trace on the CD. It will turn
BMP files to DXF files. I did a Betty Boop picture with it. I
use the Boop Gcode for testing.
