ASM 850
DXF to MI Bidirectional Translator
ASM 850 is a bidirectional translator between AutoCAD's DXF database and Hewlett Packard's MI database used in ME-10 and ME30. DXF2MI supports most of the commonly encountered DXF entities used in mechanical drafting. We've built special routines for converting DXF polylines with width into outlines in MI format.
ASM 850 includes the following modules and tools:
