[comp.sys.ibm.pc] AutoCAD Graphics Format

msm@vpnet.chi.il.us (Matt Minogue) (06/28/90)

   I need to convert an AutoCAD graphics file to something PageMaker can
read (preferable TIFF).  I have the image in three formats: a .PTL
(PostScript output (300 dpi)), a .DXF (Drawing Exchange File -- ASCII), and
a .DWG (the AutoCAD file).  Does anybody know the file format for any of
these or an already written program (commercial or public) that will do it? 
Please e-mail.  Thanks...

The .DXF file format is well documented in the AutoCAD reference manual
appendix.  It may also be documented in other books on AutoCAD.  If anyone
knows how to read the .DWG files, I would be very interested to here about
it.
