Re: HPGH -different colours different hights

I got the software on a disc at an electronics show in Germany.
The disk was called Mondrian and is all in german!!!!
However there is an english version of what I think is a better
software on the website www.lewetz.de (i think)
its possible to download a demo verson of it also.


I have downloaded the demo version and it works well.
I am really impressed with this guy's software so much so that i
suspect this HPGL fault is in corel draw and that his software is not
fault tolerant enough.
the full version is about $150 I think

does autocad generate gcode
Is there any shareware cad software that will generate gcode??
