RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Stiffener question

Nice drawing Carsten, it beats the mouse and cheese method for sure. For
those of you without any CAD program, I saved it as a Windows metafile. Open
a Microsoft application like Word or Powerpoint, and then from the menus
choose "insert/picture/from file" and point to this file.

Its interesting that the WMF format is actually smaller than the DWG format.
I could just do "save as" and pick WMF in my CAD program.

I tested various formats:

DWG: 13KB
JPG: 43KB
BMP: 1,535 KB
WMF: 11KB

rgds,

- Alec

Hi Carsten -
I do not have CAD on my computer.  My computer does not recognize this type
of file.  What program can I use to open it?
Thanks-
Sincerely,
Greg in MN

Okay here is a 13 KB CAD Drawing as test attachment
as .DWG file. I use DWG because this format is much smaller
in size as DXF. Maybe we should combinate this with a simillar
JPG file picture attachment to show what the file contains.
