Me too!  I've been evaluating PCB tools lately, because I'm tired of
drawing boards in AutoCad (kinda like cutting making Tea with a
Blowtorch.  Works, but....)

I'm buying a 200 pin version of WinBoard to see how it goes.

I had the same problem.  I changed my video like they said, and it
worked much better.  RTFM!

I'm wondering about ways to translate the output of IVEX products,
both WinBoard and WINDraft, into DXF files.  I have to present my
work, no matter how I come up with it, to a mechanical engineer in
AutoCad so he can design the housing or the mounting brackets.  I've
tried various schemes like plotting to an HPGL file and then using an
old and bug infested utiltiy to translate that into a DXF.  So far
nothing works well.  Got any ideas, Saige?

I am also looking for a way to get a .DXF INTO winboard.  Say I
already have a part outline drawn in AutoCad.  (I have thousands)
Can it be imported, or do I have to redraw it?

Well put.
