Opps! I thought you'd been following the threads on various and
sundry CAD and illustration programs here on the list. What
program had you intended to use? My library was generated in
AutoCAD . . . a very mature software package with a price to
match. However, a number of upstarts have cracked the code for
AutoCAD's native .dwg format so that they too can open, edit,
print and save AutoCAD's files. One such program is TurboCAD.
I just received a copy of V10 purchased off Ebay last week
for about $23 post paid. See:
http://ebay.com and search on "turbocad"
I wish I'd purchased an older version now. There are some 9.2
packages for even less money. What I don't know is how far back
you can go in TurboCAD and still open the drawings I generate
in AutoCAD 2000. I believe someone on the List mentioned an
version older than 10.0 that still worked with my drawings . . .
perhaps he'll jump back in here and enlighten us.
Be aware also that there are a number of wire-books in progress
on my website. See:
http://www.aeroelectric.com/PPS/ACAD Wirebook Samples
One in particular
http://www.aeroelectric.com/PPS/ACAD Wirebook Samples/LAIVP.DWG
is an extensive piece of work I did for a client several years
ago that had to abandon his project and terminate my services.
This drawing has about 90% of the work for your airplane's wire
book already done. Your major task is to find software you're
willing to pay for and then invest the time to learn to use
it as needed to edit the drawing.
I'm going to load up TurboCAD this weekend and play with
it a bit.

Thank you Bob ...
Your above link enabled me to download the icons of each file but then I
find I don't have the program to open them. I've spent a lot of time trying
to get to get the solution with no luck.
What is the program title and version and might it be available on ebay?
Thanks for your help ...
