The pictures for the "Apt B" are found decorating the "Apt C" MB4 download, and vice-versa. Oh, well!

I've created some buildings for WW2 skirmish wargames. I model France 1944 and found pictures of French towns I can model. I uploaded a 'B' building (3 windows a side plus a stairwell) and a 'C' building (2 windows a side). The designations are mine, rather than some historic or civil engineering co...

Somewhere, I put up a post and it got lost... The attachment contains files: The Apartment...D.dpp is a DrawPlus project. The Apartment...D.png is a picture created by DrawPlus from that project. The Apartment...D2.dxf and Apartment...D2.wmf are conversions by WinTopo. I can't get either to display ...

With the print dialog, in my project I left both checkboxes blank and the program said "you have nothing to print". I had to leave something checked, and so checked on the "plan". I then got just the grid of lines of the plan, and no brick, etc. As far as printing with this or that PDF printer, I do...

Following my example, I've taken the trypattern project and added some pictures to it. I partially filled the skeleton with bricks, a window and a storefront. I printed the result to a printer (Bullzip PDF). The result is the PDF that is attached. The PDF only has the skeleton plan. The graphic elem...

Attached are the following projects: Apt_2Win_A and Apt_2Win_B: These are front and side of an apartment block. The lines are where I place windows, doors and (horizontally) cut lines. I plan on adjusting the front/back of certain lines before I print. These illustrate the Paper Tools offset problem...

10 hour turnaround on fixes. Hot stuff! When I go to the update web page, the download link says 1.6.16 but the downloaded program says 1.6.15. What version is downloaded? I'd like to avoid the turnaround of getting a CD here. While waiting I decided to rebuild my project using just the Paper Tools....

I searched my hard drive for WMF files. Among many files, it found grid_(cm).wmf, from c:\windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-tabletpc-journal... Another failure. I tried other WMF files and haven't had a success yet.

Please find for your consideration the attached ZIP file. It contains: 1) The DXF that doesn't display. This is created by Serif DrawPlus. I don't have AutoCAD. 2) A JPG created from the DXF file. 2) A WMF created from the JPG file by WinTopo. Neither the DXF or WMF work in my MB project. PS -- afte...

I'm using MB 1.6.15 on an up-to-date Microsoft Vista system. I'm trying to import a DXF file created with Serif DrawPlus X2. When I try to do the import I generally get nothing on the MB project. Around 10% of the time, I *do* get a miniature of the DXF content. But, not knowing how to deal with it ...
