QuickCAD

[#1]

Can Quickcad load Drafix Ultra files? I have older
drawings that

I would like to convert to DXF. Ultra will not run
on my newer PC.

Is there a program for DWG->DXF somewhere on the
net?

Thanks in advance.

I'm new here, but your question remains unanswered, sooo....
I haven't tried to bring ultra drawing to Qcad. But you may have to
bring them into drafix cad and then into Q-cad.
Bringing them into D-cad was messy. Have you tried going to dos and
running ultra, or are you running 2000?
Have fun.

Thanks for the Help. I managed to run ultra in a DOS window (W98) by
renaming
a video driver. ( old ones were HALO drivers). Anyways, I could see only 1/4
of the screen
and ran my commands via the keyboard.


From AutoCAD LT98. Do a file recover, type *.DXF.

This worked well and preserved all the SYMBOLS/BLOCKS.
After, Just do a save as...

Hola!

I have hundreds of drawings on old Drafix from the 80s.  

It is based on Halo and runs only on DOS.  

I can run it in the DOS shell of Windows XP, but it expects to output to LPT1 or a Com port.  

And it has a limited list of printers it can drive including HP Inkjet and "Inkjet+ /2"  

The HP672C I relied on is now a coffee grinder that I probably can't get repaired or replaced.  

Only their lasers have parallel ports.

Any ideas?  

Centronics to USB conversion to recent HP Inkjet?

Method transferring/converting .dfx files to another format?

Thanks

Saw your post.

Have classic Drafix from the 80s and hundreds of files for it and the HP672C on which I relied is grinding coffee.

Drafix wants to use LPT1 or a COM port and drive an HP Inkjet or similar old device

Can I take .dfx files and convert them to/in a program I have more printing options on?

Thanks
