StripMtext V3.0

[Huw]

Could someone possibly post StripMtext V3.0 by Steve Doman in CF? He says on 26 May 2003:
http://groups.google.com.au/[email protected]&oe=UTF-8&output=gplain that "This program is donated to the public domain", so I assume it's alright.

We really would find this useful but CF only seems to go back to mid June 2003

Many thanks in advance,
Huw

Huw,

I don't have a copy handy, but if you could wait a day or so, I'll dig it up. I have a copy archived on a CD, but my CD is at work! If someone else has a copy handy, perhaps they could post it on CF faster then I could. Otherwise, I'll post as soon as I can.

I think there is a bug fix in in the latest version, btw.

Regards,
Steve Doman

Thank you. I'll survive until you have time to dig out the bug fixed version, or is that the one you released in May 2003 and therefore the one someone else may be able to post?

Many thanks again,
Huw

Steve,

Thanks for the new 3.05 version in CF. I guess it fixes some problem I haven't seen with 3.0.

Whatever, I still use it regularly and appreciate the time you've spent on it. Also, John Uhden's contribution.

I'll agree Joe, I've used it only a couple of times and found it a simply delightful program to use

Super-handy guys, thanks for taking the time.

 

[Steve Doman]

You're welcome Joe. Thanks for the nice reply. I should put your name in the credits as the #1 user.

Any ideas for v4.0? Every have a set of prints where some users used diagonal fractions, while others used horizontal? I'm been thinking of adding a fraction re-stack feature.

By the way, I have a couple of your functions stash away on my archive disk, just in case I need them sometime. Thanks a billion!

Regards,
Steve Doman

Jason,

I've enjoyed reading your post over the years. Wish I could hang out on the NG with you guys more but I just don't have the time between "work" and "working-out". I had to turn in my mouse and keyboard for a treadmill at the gym in order to loose my programmer's belly.

I know I'm using at least one of your functions: DelPageSetup comes to mind.
Nice one. Thanks!!!

(Thanks to John Uhden too!)

Steve Doman

Steve,
I have looked around to see if I could find a copy of your routine but haven't found one. Is there somewhere I could look. I haven't used the prior versions so I would like to try it. I have to strip manually now.

Hi Steve,

Regarding #1 user... I'm probably just more sensitive to the issue than others.

I've done a few things in my custom stuff to insure diagonal fractions. Before that, it seemed like fractions had a mind of their own. Yes, I've seen a mix in drawings from other sources. Sounds like a good idea.

Believe it or not, I'm still working on that ExtendTrim like Microstation thing. Recently rewrote it from the ground up using vlisp functions for the most part. It's still a beast after all I've learned since we talked about it back when.

Regards
Joe
