KNOWN PROBLEMS IN 3.1.12 March 21, 2002
Issues to resolve:
In configurations, no way to re-define DXF Line type. Generally not necessary to do anyway.
3.1.12 March 21, 2002
Updated DesignCAD read module to handle older version of DesignCAD.
3.1.11 October 31, 2001
Correction in cut distance calculation in BCI-Draw
3.1.10 January 11, 1999
DXF16.DLL changed to allow for X & Y Text Offset values to be set up in Cutexpw.Ini
for Cad programs with non-standard snap functions.
Sample segment from Cutexpw.Ini found in your Windows folder.
[Program]
ProgName=CUTEXP
CNCEditor=NotePad.Exe
B3G97G98=1
B3Essi97=97
B3Essi98=98
DXFtextOffsetX=0
DXFtextOffsetY=-.05
The last two lines allow for non-standard Cad programs. Most should use a value of 0 or
eliminate the last two lines altogether.

DLL, EXE, & File Changes for 3.1.09
Msgwri16.dll
Cutexpw.Exe

DC16.DLL changed to work with DesignCAD Light.
Burny16.DLL changed to allow 97 & 98 commands to be inserted in ESSI code on Burny
controls. Burny.Zip can still be downloaded to update earlier versions as indicated
below. Edit Cutexpw.Ini as indicated in 12 May 1998.
The two .dll files may be downloaded separately to bring your version to 3.1.08 specs.
12 May 1998
Burny.Zip posted to FTP site. The .Dll file in the Zip should be placed in your TCW
directory. Will be automatically incorporated in next release. The automatic addition of
the G97/G98 sequence for repeats in Burny code was removed late in the DOS version. Some
conflicts had arisen. It has been put back for Word Address - Incremental and Absolute,
not ESSI. If this feature is not desired, it can be disabled by adding a line to the
Cutexpw.Ini file: B3G97G98=0. For normal operation it should be B3G97G98=1.
Edit Cutexpw.Ini (found in your Windows folder) as indicated below.
[Program]
ProgName=CUTEXP
CNCEditor=NotePad.Exe
B3G97G98=1
