Does anyone know a way to get a CAD file from AutoCad on to the NeXT, so as to be able to manipulate it in a meaningful way? All I would like to do is to take an Autocad file into the NeXT and twiddle it then print it. Nothing more. Suggestions? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bill Roth, University of Wisconsin Physical Sciences Laboratory email: bill@pslu1.psl.wisc.edu bill@wiscpsl.bitnet / (608)-873-6651

Basically, it just outputs the drawing as a bunch of lines and, perhaps, arcs. But, are there any PD or shareware programs which allow you to graphically edit a raw PS file on the NeXT? -- Craig Pratt icsu8053@cs.montana.edu Montana State University, Bozeman MT Craig.Pratt@msu3.oscs.montana.edu "It's a Buddist meditation technique; it focuses your aggression.
