I have just acquired the DEGAS art program (for 520ST) and the
CAD 3D program. If anyone else has these, perhaps you can help
me understand why I can't seem to print the art from CAD 3D.
I can successfully load and use CAD 3D. The printout function
only prints X,Y,Z coordinates. I've read the manual and find
the merest allusion to loading the SUPERVIEW picture file into
DEGAS to actually print the picture. There does not apear to be
a statement of hard fact as to how printing should be accomplished.
If I enter DEGAS and try to load any *.3D pic file, I get an error
message that says something like "file cannot be loaded because the
resolution is not compatible with current setting." Come on, give
me a break! I have a monochrome monitor and I used the file in the
CAD 3D program, but can't use it in DEGAS and I changed nothing.
So what's the problem?

One of the things that is checked when you try to load a file into degas is the extension. Just try renaming it to the correct extension and it might load. Also, look at the technical notes at the back of the manual, they explain the format used by store files. It maybe that, your file is stored in a different order like pallette settings after the graphics data or something. Sarge

DEGAS saves it's file with the resolution tacked on to the filename extension. For example xxxxxxxx.PI3 for monochrome (PI2 and PI1 for medium and low rez). Try renaming the CAD 3D file from xxxxxxxx.3D to xxxxxxxxx.PI {1 | 2 | 3} For monochrome foo.3d becomes foo.pi3.
