I've had some mail problems lately so I missed the original post for this, so I'm sory if I miss the point. I used to on occasion convert a PCAD drawing to DXF. The only way I could get the text converted correctly (as vectors) was to do a DXFOUT - read in the DXF file and DXFOUT again. Going through the DXFOUT twice converted all of the blocks and text to vectors. It's worth a try! =========================================== Clint Cote [log in to unmask] =========================================== On Thu, 26 Mar 1998 15:50:43 -0500 Larry Campbell <[log in to unmask]> writes: >The one way we have been able to bring Autocad into Gerber >files is to bring it into CAM350 using the DXFIN.
