Hi:
If I use an old tds transfer program, all of the description are included. It uses the exported ascii file from mscad to convert to a binary tds file. However, if I use the convert or the direct write tds binary file in the adt program in mscad it truncates every thing except the first word or group of leters. It's like I said earlier, if I export the description: 3os BOC sta 1+50 (which is sixteen letters) when I get to the field all that is left is 3os. Whenever the mscad program encounters the first space in a description it deletes the rest of the description.
I transfered out the ponts into an ascii and checked it, it still has all the letters of each description, then convert it using mscad, by either means, to a tds binary file and it looses the letters.
It is not a great big deal it would just be nice to use the program to make the tds binary file and use it in the field.
Thanks,
