[comp.graphics] Generic Cad

srb@beta.lanl.gov ( Steve Berger ) (06/06/89)

I'm interested in getting information from anyone that is
currently using or has used Generic Cad from Generic Software.

How well does it work?  I'm mainly interested in finding out
how the plotter support is, and how the conversions are between
different formats.

They sell a module that does conversions TO and FROM

Postscript, TIFF, PCX, and several other formats.  How well do the
conversions work from a PCX or TIFF format, to a Generic Cad drawing?

Theoretically then, one could scan images, convert them from TIFF
format to a Generic Cad drawing and then clean up the image and
plot it.

Does anyone out there have any experience with this?

Any info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
