convert drafix .cad

hi all
i got a really big problem that needs a solution.
in the far 1993 i drawed something with drafix windows cad and (shame on me) saved it in the *.cad-format.

is maybe anybody from you able to convert this files into a normal format like *.dxf?
would be very kind if there is a workaround for this

regards

I have Drafix 4.20 on four floppies, but I cannot get it to run in Windows. I even tried a DOS emulator. How are you running v4.1?

I could send you a *.zip file of the floppies.

Okay, here's my problem. I have files that were created in Drafix vr2.1. I can copy from drafix .cad to AutoCAD R14 .dwg with limitations. As long as I am only dealing with information on a single layer, it works great. I can even edit the file. So you ask, "what's the problem then"?
My problem is with files that have multiple layers. When I perform the this operation, all the data ends up on one layer.
I seem to remember from years ago, there was something involving coping the PT Marks.SHX file from within AutoCAD and dropping it in Drafix directory. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to remember just how to do it.
Does this spark up anyone as to how I can convert these files and maintain the layer?

Dennis

The attached file is the result of the copy/paste method I ended up for the first file. For what it's worth. HELP!

I am looking for a copy of Drafix Professional CAD v3.02.  If anyone has one, please let me know - I'm sure we can work something out.

I also have hundreds of old drafix quickcad 3.02 (9/22/95) files.  I have been playing with Turbocad designer 2d.  So far the files I have tried to convert work in six different formats.

 

The drafix will work with windows xp and lower without any problems.  I just upgraded most of my computers to windows 7 able to run XP mode.  I know some of you have had some luck using the program however, what about when its time to upgrade windows again.....  Drafix will be a dead program!

 

Now for the question.....

 

What newer program(s) can be used to convert the old files??  Programs that will work on windows 7,8,9,10+

 

I have, but not tried; autocad lt 2000, 2002, autocad 14, autodesk aec pro suite....

 

DAMMMMMM, quickcad was/is soooooo easy to use!
