    Hello,

    I have developed an application based on the original cadsys library and it has quite a few drawings made in it. I was wondering if would it be possible to import them into TpX format somehow without writing a conventer from scratch ?

    TpX is a very nice and worthy project. TCAD2D_BasicMode and redo/undo options are fantasic. I lost so much time doing my own undo functions and some other stuff in cadsys. It's a pity I didn't find it earlier.

    Regards,
    Piotrek

      I am not sure how you can do this. TpX was not meant to be CADSys-compatible. Possibly you can export to DXF first and then convert to SVG or EMF.

      By the way, TCAD2D_BasicMode is obsolete. I've rewritten the code for this functionality from scratch.

        Thanks for this answer.
        I tried to convert it into both formats using DWGTools Converter Command Line v2.0 but SVG returns "Bad XML. Mismatched tag end: SVG" when loading to TpX and EMF conversion loses filled areas and line thickness (all lines are converted to thick = 1px). I think I will stick to my old solution, at least until/if I release a totally new version of my program.
