Just imagine if Joseph Cyril Bamford built PCs...


You could have a JCB PC PCB with AMD PCU with USB armed with ICB and ECM

Wouldn't that be JCB PC PCB with AMD CPU with USB armed with ICB and ECM with a 700W PSU
Besides JCB stands for Japanese Coal Board (I should know i live near them).

A powerful 2D/3D CAD package was DynaCADD. A demo version can be found on Fish Disks #603, 604, 605 on Aminet.
There also was MaxonCAD, but I don't know if it was German only.

Used Autocad quite a bit in the past in work.
Wouldn't mind playing around with an Amiga CAD package just to keep my hand in so to speak.

Has anyone tried a few of the above listed and would recommend one above the others?

[Buleste]

Tried XCAD and Cycas. I don't know much about Cad software but of the two Cycas is the better. There is a PowerCAD for PPC Amigas somewhere in the ether but i've not been able to find it yet.

I am quite interested in finding out how to get Cycas to do something useful but that is currently proving quite difficult due to the help files.

The help files are all in HTML format and reading the text involves alot of awkward sideways scrolling. Does anyone know how to get the text to fit on the screen?

This is true of both the Windows and Amiga versions.

You could load the html file into a browser and then save it as a txt file.
