download details

These files are in .gif, .dwg, .dxf, .doc, or .exe (self-extracting compressed) formats. Some web browsing software interprets the dwg and dxf extensions as normal text and tries to display it to your screen. You may need to provide your browsing software with the correct information in order to either view dwg or dxf types with the appropriate software i.e. Autocad, or to save the files to your hard disk.

By default, Mosaic will allow dwg files to be saved to disk. Netscape tends to want to show the dwg file as text. To fix this, go to the "Helpers" section of "General Preferences" under the "Options" main menu item. Create a new mime type with the type being "Applications" and the sub-type being "dwg". Have it use the file extention of dwg and choose "save to disk" or link it to a dwg veiwer (if available) for the action to be performed.

The exe files are compressed versions of the dxf file types. Some of these files are rather large and should be downloaded with a fast communications link. Check the information file before downloading to see the file size or download the gif file which is a smaller representation of it's larger version.
