hmmm...pity.
The newt seems to be the ideal platform for this sort of application.
Large screen, long battery life, powerful cpu, portable......
I would need an app that I could use for drawing accurate surveys of
buildings
in plans and elevations and be able to transfer the infomation into autocad
via
dxf file. If the internal drawing/sketch app could be modified to accept
dimensions
to allow the drawings to be accurate then it would almost be ideal as it
seems to
store the images as vecor data (thus allowing you to delete single entities
within
a drawing). Then all we would need is a dxf convertor....not asking a lot am
I?
Anyone willing to assist with this task?

Kerwin,
as far as I know there is nothing for the Newton. Autodesk did also stop to
continue maintenance of ACAD for MacOS with version 10 or 11 (they're now
just after Release14, ACAD2000). I would be really nice to have an ACAD
viewer, but possibly for DXF files. The catch is to transform the plain
ASCII text of the DXF file into graphical objects on the Newton. This
program would have to generate also 2D images of 3D objects and thus needs a
sort of raytracing.
