No Alpha's required --although they are nice machines. Any of my
Pentium boxes running Linux can do what Greg said with ease --and, of
course, they're all running MicroStation95. If you combine a
high-performance CAD package with a high-performance operating system,
then cheap, commodity hardware will do an amazingly good job.

Sometimes we'll even sneak over onto comp.cad.autocad to help you out
;-)
If you are interested in this thread, though, you're more than welcome
to
take it up on comp.cad.microstation.

I´m programmer in ADS and ARX for Autocad and Autocad "RAD", (Registered
Autodesk Developper).
I have a problem with the printer.
I want use the system printer for to take out listings.
I'm used this code for to do it in MSDOS mode.
short ImprimirCodigos(char *nombre)
{
FILE *imp;
if (*nombre != '\0') // This for a file
{
imp = fopen(nombre, "w");
if (imp == NULL)
return RTNORM;
}
else // this for the printer. i use the stream "stdprn"
imp = stdprn;
Well, if i want to print in Windows with this system, i don´t can to do it.
I´m tried to do it with the visual
C++ object, "CDC", (CDC -> CreateDC, etc), and i don´t can neither.
Please, anyone would can help me.
My e-mail adress is "pedromacia@redestb.es"
thanx.
P.D. Sorry for my english, is very bad.
I know that my problem is with the Windows API or MFC.
I´m tried to do it but i have a error.
He intentado hacerlo mediante las ordenes API que vienen en el libro de
nuestro, supongo, queridisimo amigo Charles Petzold, y el codigo escrito,
para realizar una prueba, seria el siguiente.
FORMFEED.C de la página 718 del libro "Programacion en Windows" por Charles
Petzold, edición en español de fecha 1992.
#include // Esto lo he incluido en la cabecera
#include
HDC GetPrinterDC(void);
HDC GetPrinterDC(void)
{
char szImpresora[80];
char *szDevice, *szDriver, *szOutput;
GetProfileString("windows", "device", ",,,", szImpresora, 80);
if ((szDevice = strtok(szImpresora, ",")) && (szDriver = strtok(NULL, ",
")) &&
(szOutput = strtok(NULL, ", ")))
{
ads_printf("Hola Caracola\nszImpresora = %s\nszDriver = %s\nszDevice=
%s", szImpresora, szDriver, szDevice);
return CreateDC(szDriver, szDevice, NULL, NULL);
// El tercer parametro, deberia ser normalmente la entrada de
//szOutput, en mi caso inicializada a "LPT1", pero leyendo la ayuda
// del Visual C++, he visto que dice que cuando se hagan aplicaciones
//para 32 bits, no se debe de poner nada en este tercer
// parametro. (aun así, lo he probado también poniendolo igual que en
//el libro, obteniendo el mismo error ;-)
}
return(0);
} // GetPrinterDC
short Programa()
{
LPCSTR szMsg = "FormFeed";
char MiMensaje[100];
HDC hdcPrint;
if (hdcPrint = GetPrinterDC())
{
ads_printf("\nHola raton sin cola\n");
if ((error = Escape(hdcPrint, STARTDOC, sizeof(szMsg) - 1, szMsg,
NULL)) > 0)
{
if ((error = Escape(hdcPrint, NEWFRAME, 0, NULL, NULL)) > 0)
{
// Aqui tambien incluyo alguna llamada a OutText, pero no
//deberia ser necesario,
// Ya que con esto deberia de pasar una página a la impresora,
//como mínimo
ads_printf("\nSi esto sale, imprime\n");
strcpy(MiMensaje, "HOLA CARACOLA");
TextOut(hdcPrint, 0, 0, MiMensaje, sizeof(MiMensaje) - 1);
Escape(hdcPrint, ENDDOC, 0, NULL, NULL);
}
else
ads_printf("error de newframe = %d", error);
}
else
ads_printf("error de startdoc= %d", error);
DeleteDC(hdcPrint);
}
} // programa
Well the otput is:
Hola Caracola
szImpresora = HP Deskjet 560C Printer
szDriver = DESKJET
szDevice = HP Deskjet 560C Printer
Hola raton sin cola
error de startdoc = -1
O sea, que hay un error al intentar enviar al spooler de impresión la orden
de que cree un nuevo trabajo con el nombre de "FormFeed".

Hei All, do you know about e Lisp routine to automatize the creation of
contours (polyline closed) with Autocad R:12 with POLCONT command?
Well, my methodology :
1.- I digitize all bounderies of polygons of my map with polylines.
2.- With POLCONT I create a polygon closed (contour). First I select all
the polylines or all in display and picking with the mouse in middle of
every polygon, one by one. It´s very tedious and tired.
3.- Finally I select all the contours with the same thematic class and
with Change- Elev command I give it a id for export a dxf to Idrisi GIS.
Do you think it´s possible automatize this procedure?
Any Help will be very considerate. Thanks for your time!
