Default RE: Pictures to DesignCAD

Dear Dick Dietz:

The PIPE here yet AGAIN...and a CONFIRMED DesignCAD NUT since 1992...!

I'll need to ask you some questions before I can really help you...

firstly, do you need to get a scale OR model construction drawing into DesignCAD to trace over it?

secondly, which version of DesignCAD do you have access to (I'm using DC 3000 myself here at home)...

and thirdly, do you have access to a FLATBED type of computer scanner to scan the artwork into your computer? (It DOES easily convert prints from film camera photos in a digital image usable with DesignCAD)...!

Hope to hear from you VERY soon...I've got a scale drawing from Windsock Datafile No.44 on the Bristol Scout series of VERY early WW I British planes in DesignCAD 3000 to trace over, some MORE this weekend, to get EXACTLY what I'll need to start building one in 1/4th scale later next Spring...so I've got DC RIGHT HERE on my PC, and I'd just need some more DETAILED info from you to help you along the way, in getting YOUR project in DC going...!

Yours Sincerely,

The PIPE!
