ECHO This DEMO macro loads the file HOOKUP1.2D into the workspace and shows you
ECHO an example drawing. The example drawing, as well as showing what a 2D drawing
ECHO made with DANCAD3D might look like, shows one way to hook up DANCAM and DANPLOT
ECHO to manufacture components and other goods. The drawing shows how to connect
ECHO TTL signal compatible stepper driver modules and solid state relays directly to
ECHO the parallel port of your computer (n.b. I am not responsible for any damage
ECHO that might result from making these connections to your computer, the drawing
ECHO is only a suggestion of some connections that have been found useful to the
ECHO author in his use of DANCAM and DANPLOT.)
LOCATE 1 15
ECHO Other hook-up drawings and schematics for inexpensive stepper motor
ECHO translator and driver modules you can build are included in the registered user
ECHO outfit available from the author. Send a stamped self addressed legal size
ECHO envelope for the current product price list (if you live outside the U.S. send
ECHO five first class international postal vouchers in place of stamps (you get the
ECHO postal vouchers from your post office).)

ECHO After this macro returns you to the main menu, select [D]raw from the main
ECHO menu and then select [D]raw lines from the drawing editor root menu. You can
ECHO move the cursor over a point you want to zoom in on and press the [+] key to
ECHO zoom in. When the dotted border is small enough press the [*] key to redraw
ECHO the screen.

ECHO The screen will take a minute or so to redraw depending on how fast your
ECHO computer is. Normally drawings are not one element so the [U]pdate list could
ECHO be used to turn off the lettering elements to make the screen re-draw faster,
ECHO but there was not enough room on the shareware program disks to include all the
ECHO elements for this drawing.
LOCATE 1 13
ECHO You can use this drawing to experiment with the commands in the [H]ardcopy
ECHO sub-menu to see how DANCAD3D will work with your printers and plotters.
ECHO Remember that the printer and plotter drivers are in the sub-directory
ECHO \DRIVERS\ (except the ADOBE_PS.LZR and LINOTYPE.LZR drivers which are in the
ECHO sub-directory \DC25\.)

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
