Reluctantly abandoning XP, my Drafix CAD will not satisfactorily run under 7, Linux or (memory hungry) emulators. I have used its native .cad file format since 1988 for all my domestic projects (I am not a professional) knowing that it exports format include .DWG and .DFX viz.
“ AutoCAD Conversions
Design CAD 2D Conversions
Drafix CAD Ultra, Drafix 1 Plus, and Drafix Port File Conversions
HPGL and PLT Conversions
IGES Conversions
Planix Conversions
Windows Metafile Conversions”
QCAD writes under ‘QCAD Features’
"Features in italic are available in QCAD Professional only.
Supported file formats:
DWG
read support for format version R2.5 through R27 (2013)
write support for format version R12 through R27 (2013)
DXF
read support for format version R2.5 through R27 (2013)
write support for format version R12 through R27 (2013)[/i]
DXF version R15 (2000) [QCAD Community Edition]"
i.e R15 is not in italics.
Can you tell me whether the Drafix version of DFX can be imported by QCAD Community Edition. Thank you. SW
