I am just getting my feet wet w/ Cadintosh, and am wondering how it compares to what I understand to be The Big Daddy of CAD software, Autocad. Will Cadintosh do as much? I would be surprised if it did, as Autocad costs a few grand. Thanks.

Hello,CADintosh is a 2D construction application.You can do all 2D contructions with symbols and other elements.Thorsten > Von: jklingel8 <jolinak@gci.net>> Antworten an: <cadintoshmac@yahoogroups.com>> Datum: Fri, 02 Dec 2011 05:29:24 -0000> An: <cadintoshmac@yahoogroups.com>> Betreff: [cadintoshmac] Cadintosh vs Autocad> > I am just getting my feet wet w/ Cadintosh, and am wondering how it compares> to what I understand to be The Big Daddy of CAD software, Autocad.

Bernd,If I remember correctly Autocad files are DXF.According to http://www.lemkesoft.com/content/170/ke ... tml"Import and export of DXF, HPGL, IGES and PICT (version 6) or PDF (version 7)"HTH,On Dec 12, 2011, at 8:51 AM, bernddh wrote: Can CADintosh read Autocad files.Bernd--- In cadintoshmac@yahoogroups.com, Thorsten Lemke <lemke@...> wrote:Hello,CADintosh is a 2D construction application.You can do all 2D contructions with symbols and other elements.ThorstenVon: jklingel8 <jolinak@...>Antworten an: <cadintoshmac@yahoogroups.com>Datum: Fri, 02 Dec 2011 05:29:24 -0000An: <cadintoshmac@yahoogroups.com>Betreff: [cadintoshmac] Cadintosh vs AutocadI am just getting my feet wet w/ Cadintosh, and am wondering how it comparesto what I understand to be The Big Daddy of CAD software, Autocad.

It will read and save as certain flavours of .DXF which is the generic interchange format. If you can persuade your AutoCAD person to save as DXF rather than DWG then there is a possibility that CADintosh will be able to open it.in friendshipRowland: Rowland Carson ... that's Rowland with a 'w' ...: <rowlandcarson@gmail.com> http://www.rowlandcarson.org.uk: Skype, Twitter: rowland_carson Facebook: Rowland Carson: pictures: http://picasaweb.google.com/rowlandcarson
