"Bad Format" - Importing DXF Format Files Fro
DocumentID: 601428

The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is trying to import files from TurboFlow 3.10. The files are saved in DXF format, and the error "Bad Format" appears when the files are taken through GRAPHCNV (12/31/90). Solutions: The DXF format from Turboflow is an older DXF format that is not compatible with the graphics convert program in WordPerfect. However, both HPGL and PCX files from Turboflow will work correctly.

To create an HPGL graphic, the user should select an HP 7475A plotter and then plot the drawing; the user should enter the filename when it asks for the device name. The PCX graphics are fairly good resolution when brought through GRAPHCNV, but will save the entire page (including white space) according to the way they were created in Turboflow. The customer should scale the PCX graphic in WP and allow WP to auto-set one measurement (e.g., set width, auto height).
