| 3543.1 | PLANS vs mCAD? | NITMOI::WITHERS | Another Hallmark Moment. -Al Bundy | Mon Mar 26 1990 14:48 | 7 |
| How good is this in comparison to mCAD? I am going to play around with
some design work and the operative word is play so purchasing X-CAD is
not an option. I was going to download mCAD but is PLANS better? Or
are they close enough where it is more-or-less personnal preference?

| 3543.2 | Interlace only | YUPPY::PEGLEY | | Fri Apr 06 1990 06:18 | 5 |
| I had a look at PLANS. It looks good, but only works in Interlace
mode, so flickers like crazty on my 1084 monitor. I ahve not seen
MCAD, but if this works in med-res, I might have a look at it.

| I'm certain that MCad is also interlace only.

If you can find a file called EDS_ICONS on the net (look in TAPE),
I included a system-configuration file with colors that should
minimize interlace flicker. Copy the system-configuration file to the
devs: directory of your boot device.
Also experiment with the brightness and contrast controls on your
monitor.

| Re: .5
PLANS creates HPGL output, so with the PLT: handler (available from
several EasyNet locations, FTP sites, comp.binaries.amiga archives
and Fish disks) you can create output at whatever resolution your
printer (-driver) can handle.

| 3543.7 | Where's PLT: handler? | NAVIER::MELLITZ | | Mon Apr 09 1990 14:27 | 8 |
| I search wjg::amiga and crista::amiga for *plt* with no luck. Any
idea hwat the PLT: handler is called or where specifically it is?
Also, is there anything special about installing a handler?
Thanks,

| 3543.9 | PLT: uploaded to TAPE:: | FROCKY::BALZER | Christian Balzer DTN:785-1029 | Tue Apr 10 1990 08:24 | 15 |
| Re: .7, .8
Nah, don't try *PLOT*, all these programs have nuttin to do with
PLT:. ;-)
Since it seems that noone has uploaded it to TAPE:: (though I'm
sure it's on one of the newer Fish disks), I uploaded PLT.ZOO to
TAPE""::USER2:[UPLOAD]
The documentation is good and the installation is pretty
straightforward.
Have fun,
<CB>
