(DynaCADD). 10. Complete Falcon Service Guide. 11. Complete conversion of MEGA STE Service Guide to PageStream. Problems 1. Still having problems with PageStream and GEM file formats. Causing a lot of lost time in converting Service Guides and Option Manuals. 2. Still have no distribution disks back for DynaCADD. 3. Some drawings work with PageStream, others don't. Impossible to determine how effective package will be at any one given time. 4. GEM drawings created with Easy Flow do not always convert correctly in PageStream. Have drawn some of the figures for option manuals, and text call out information does not convert correctly. To make it work takes several hours of data manipulation.
