Announcing the release of AutoCAD2POV 3.0a.  Don't ask what happened to
Version 2.  I feel that this is a *much* more solid package than Version 1.
It is almost a total rewrite, with tons of improvements, and many objects
added (converts AutoCAD colors).  Win95+, of course, I think AutoCAD only
runs on Windows.

Please, tell me what you think.

Yes, they decided to cut everyone else loose to find another solution. I think 
someone at AutoDesk has been sleeping with Bill Gates.

I much prefer the attitude that Bentley has with MicroStation. The Kernal of 
the program is re-written for each system and all the tools are written kinda 
Java style, write one run everywhere (I think you do have to compile the 
source for each platform though).

I wish I still had access to AutoCAD, I'd like to give it a look-see. Maybe 
I'll see if my friend still has acess and get him to convert some stuff over 
for me to check it out.

someone else the same problem ?

Yes, I guess I do too.  Thought I checked it out.  I'll fix it as soon as
possible.

    I have not yet reinstalled AutoCad to try this, can you tell us a little
of what it can do? Is it only for AutoCad 3D objects, and does it export
meshes? I haven't use AutoCad for 3D objects yet...

I've posted the user's guide at www.cgirealm.com/cadman/autocad2pov.html
Check out section 3.1.3, Other Objects.

Don't have AUtoCAD or $3000 to get it?  Don't want to go the warez
route?  Try the following legal, free ()for home use) AutoCAD "clone":



http://www.cadopia.com/


At least  80% of the utility at none of the cost.  Reads and writes
native DWG files, does most autoLISP, etc.
