Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Attached files?
Lew - I don't agree - I sometime send very small
technical JPG black and white pictures to psubs show just a
hatch or something in this size - and get figures in the 50-60 Kb area.
if they are smaller all the details all lost.
One reason that some of the psubers went to yellow sub
design group for a short time was that there was the possibilty to
exchange
drawings - the language of technicans.
Can you imagine how long it takes to describe a hatch lock device
in english in plain text - even if your native language is french,
italy, norway, german, spain, swedish, russian, china, japanese
or north-corean...- .. a simple drawings shows more than thousand
words.
Ray - a database on Psub for DXF/DWG technical cad files and a
link to volo view cad reader will maybe another way.. Somebody can
send you drawings - and however like can download them from the
database file ordner. There should be a mark that they use the
drawings at there own risk.. There should be also a small JPG
tumnail or description what the drawing contains.
The rest of the side is great - and I have an older computer..
