I need to find a program that will take a DXF file output by a CAD program, specifically Autocad, and transform it into a file that is usable with Sculpt-3d on my Amiga. I read in a letter in Computer Graphics Review that there is such an animal, now all I have to do is find it. Hopefully it is PD. If anyone out there knows of such a program, please e-mail me as to where I can find it. Or buy it if I have to. This would make a really nice way to ray-trace autocad drawings, much better than Autoshade. Using Autocad to draw the wireframe also beats the heck out of trying to draw objects with Sculpt-3d's user interface. Thanx,

A plea for net.wisdom if you would be so kind. I need to find out about the ibm pc dxf standard in order to write software capable of reading it. Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a book or whatever that will tell me this? (In the UK please!). The files are output by software like autocad and look a bit like postscript (ie they are ascii with numeric codes instead of commands). Please reply by email - I don't read this group.
