More success with Q Cad. I figured out some ways to make things work, so I made a new template and a new test drawing. It still has too many errors, but is much improved. In Files, it is in the Bubble House folder as TmpTst02.dxf

Ed tested the first one. Autocad would not read it. He passed it through Rhino 3D and then Autocad accepted it. Ed wrote it out of Autocad and posted it on files as TmpTst01.a.dxf . When I downloaded it, the drawings were recognizable but out of scale. Work still to be done, but progress is being made.

Thanks to Ed - Bobby

  • 26.06.2005: Limited success in Q Cad. This evening, I was able to produce my first recognizable drawing in Q Cad. Even though it was a very simple drawing, many errors remain. But at least, it kind of looks like a drawing. I will post to Files on the Discussion board. - Bobby
  • 20.06.2005: QCad has proven as hard to get started with as Rick reported Autocad is. I have found "Autocad LT 2005 for Dummies" at a local library. It takes too long to get results. I was able to get results the first night with JFDraw. The book is probably OK if you are being paid to learn Autocad. I have another book requested at the library. I hope it will start faster.
  • 06.06.2005: (My bad. I misinterpreted the calendar and put this on the wrong date. Sorry - Bobby)
  • 05.06.2005: Just to give this a try - I have copied the post that "topdollarpage" made to the Yahoo forum today:
