Uhm, ok. But why?
That's a native function in DC.



I don't think DC had been invented yet, 1n '88 or '89.

I vaguely recall buying a Generic CADD upgrade from IMSI in San Rafael
in that general time frame.

Actially, yes it was.

American Small Business computers was the original developer.

Most of the early cad systems were little more than glorified paint
programs. But DC was way ahead of it's time.

It ran on an XT quite well when Autocad could barely run on an AT at all.

Marketing.

Back then the mind set was that if you have a better mouse trap the
world will come to you.

It's a shame it didn't really work that way.
