547.0. "DynamicCad" by NAC::VISSER () Thu Jun 11 1987 14:25
Dynamic Cad from Microillusions
If anyone is interested, I'd like to establish this note as a conference
for users and interested parties of D-cad. I've been involved with this
program since Nov. 86 and haven't met anyone else with any experience with
it. I really need this kind of discourse since I can't yet do any useful
work with it and I need a sanity check. Am I crazy, or is it really this
bad?
I am using version 2.30 on a 68010 equipped 2.5M A1000, two floppies,
Brother M1509 printer and Roland DXY-800 B-size 8 pen flatbed plotter. I'm
running version 1.2 of the operating system.
I have both the originally introduced program and manual, and the
free upgrade to v 2.30 with a new manual. I paid $325 through the mail.
If this note works out, perhaps we could swap hints, tips,
work-arounds, enhancements (e.g. post-processors), plotter drivers, and
part and symbol libraries.
The possibilities are great if this works out. Imagine posting
schematics from which attributes can be extracted, conversion to Autocad
format, etc.
I am currently crashing the program on a regular basis, and even
with the supposedly fixed plotter driver, getting plotter error indications
almost immediately upon plotting. HELP!!!
I bought Aegis Draw Plus after a while of fooling with D-cad, and will post
a note like this for it.
P.S. I'm trying to do engineering work re. schematics, PC boards, mechanical
designs, with these programs.

| Dynamic CAD has gotten extremely poor reviews in several publications.
It's been criticized for being command-driven, rather than menu-driven.
I got to boot a demo copy at a dealer once, and I was pulling my
hair out after three minutes.
In general, If I can't make sense of a program in a few minutes
(without reading the manual) it is far to difficult for my feeble
mind to deal with.
