Attached is a PCX file from Generic CADD Version 6.0 which is a DOS based CAD program that I run under Windows 98. The file was made in SmartCAM and brought into Generic CADD via DXF.
Generic CADD V6.0 comes on six 3-1/2 floppies. This package was bought by Autodesk in the mid 90's and was discontinued. Probably because of the fast two KEYSTROKE commands in conjunction with the direct mouse picks. Sounds like a SmartCAM V4.5 scenario to me! The programmers of Generic CADD made a Windows package call Visual CADD which in essences is Generic CADD gone Windows with more goodies. However that package got bought by Corel Draw! Now its dead and gone. The only problem is Visual CADD cannot save a PCX file. I guess what I'm saying is Generic CADD looks like the package you need but how do you get a hold of it, is the problem to be answered. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jon Baker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "genebo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2001 1:36 PM Subject: Re: [mfg-smartcam] pcx files > I bought a CD of Cadkey97 for about $100 on Ebay.
