I'm working with autocad2000 at work and designcad at home, so I'm more
interested in peoples experiences with the conversion pak with dxg and
dxf files and how well they're handled

Hello Mike,
At this time I am working with a team or architects to import their
geometry designs into trueSpace 6.6
They are using AutoCAD 2004 and it comes with a new nice 3DS format
export function.
Each element is exported separated in 3DS format, imported into
trueSpace, de-triangulated doing a Boolean subtraction with no touching
cube, fixing axes and textured.
It is working just great.
If you need your model back to AutoCAD, the 2004 version can import a
3DS file also.
Hope that helps you.

Subject: dxf,dwg conversion questions
Hey there,
I'm getting more involved with CAD stuff at work, and I wanted to get
some experiences from you guys regarding dxf and dwg conversions.
1) have you been getting good results with dxf export from truespace.
does getting the conversion pack make it any better or different?
2) I assume you have to get the conversion pack for dwg export. has the
pack been working well?
My boss uses autocad 2000 at work. I've been using designcad(for $100,
I like it), and it seems to export well enough for autocad. I want to
try using truespace for better curves and detailing then export it. I
guess I'm wondering if the conversion pack works well enough for the
price.
