1. Help in fixing error

First of all - I am NOT a programmer - trust me!

I am using a file by Mike Duffy - under GEN 2STROKE. This thing works great and I can certainly appreciate his efforts.

Problem is when I try to open a file saved by this program as an ACAD .dxf type, it says that the file is incomplete or corrupted.

Any help in this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

I'm glad you could find the problem. According to the quick reads I made about DXF I was having some doubts if that info was valid or not. It basically adds some information about the current "project".

To remove that extra information, open conic.e file with some editor.

At line 1019 you should see something like

			puts(hfile,"999\r\n" & name & "    " & date_string() & "\r\n") 

You should comment those lines (add two dashes at the beginning of each of them) until and including the following lines:

			puts(hfile,"999\r\nNumber of points=") print(hfile,npts) 
			puts(hfile,"\r\n") 

After modifications the source should be like:

			--puts(hfile,"999\r\n" & name & "    " & date_string() & "\r\n") 
			--if length(cmt) then 
			--	puts(hfile,"999\r\n" & cmt & "\r\n") 
			--end if 
			--puts(hfile,"999\r\nDimensions are in " & unts & "\r\n") 
			--puts(hfile,"999\r\nPanel width=") printf(hfile,fmts,w) 
			--puts(hfile,"  Panel heigth=") printf(hfile,fmts,h) 
			--puts(hfile,"\r\n999\r\n" & thks & "\r\n") 
			--puts(hfile,"\r\n999\r\nOrigin is at " & orgs & "\r\n") 
			--puts(hfile,"999\r\nNumber of points=") print(hfile,npts) 
			--puts(hfile,"\r\n") 

Another option is to remove those lines which is easier, just be sure to make a backup :)

That should be it.

Cheers,
Guillermo

Sorry Tony, I forgot you're not a programmer. You should be able to find those lines inside the conic.e file which is distributed with Mike Duffy's program ( http://www.rapideuphoria.com/2stroke.zip ). It's an ascii file which you should be able to open with any text editor and depending on the editor, see the line number somewhere.

To save the trouble I've prepared a modified version of the file conic.e, just replace it in your current 2 stroke directory.

You can grab it from: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2mndu9o4shgqbts/conic.e

I've just sent Mike an e-mail but I don't know if the address specified in readme.txt is still valid.

These lines are taken from the readme too:

So I guess if he doesn't answer I'll repack the program with this fix and upload it to rapideuphoria.com.
