Hi Folks
Can anyone steer me in the right direction for the method of producing
.dxf or .hpgl format files directly from Visual Basic ?

Brian,
Exporting DXF from Visual Basic:
The hard part is finding the documentation, and reading through the
messy data formats. When you've done all that - it turns out its very
simple to export a minimal dxf from basic, JAVA, or even an Excel
spreadsheet with a VB Macro (simple also). By
John,
One could plot the CAD drawing on screen, then making a screen capture by using
the Print Screen option in Windows, which copies it to the Clipboard, which
then can be pasted into almost any Graphics editor.
Hope it helps.

Hi all
John, you may want to download the free Turbocad version 6. Its
only got the 2d stuff, but then again thats all you need. I found the
DXF import/export to be a little better on the newer versions.
http://www.turbocad.com or else enter via http://www.imsisoft.com
Kind Regards

Hi Colleagues,
Please can anyone point me to a utility which will allow
me to convert a CAD file (eg .dxf or similar) to a raster graphics form, eg
gif, tif or jpg?
Thanks,
John Davis
Colleagues
Thanks to all of you who responded with help in
translating CAD files into a format suitable for drawing packages. I was
guided to Paintshop Pro v5, which I already had, but then found that my
venerable CAD program (TurboCAD v3) produces a rather non-standard .dxf format
which
x-richSometimes a HPGL plotfile can do the trick. Plot to a file as if the plotter is a HP7500 plotter. There are application that can read plotfiles, my version of MS Word has an import filter.
