- DANMOVIE works with DANCAD 3D to animate screens saved as pixel
- bit maps. DANCAD 3D can print out or plot the drawings at very high
- resolution (greater than 4 million pixels) if you like the way the
- animation looks using DANMOVIE.
-
- DANMOVIE is a useful engineering tool since you can program DANCAD
- 3D to make an animated close-up of parts in a layout drawing. In that
- way you can confirm the fit of moving parts. You can also program
- DANCAD 3D to produce a animated perspective view of the whole assembly
- with all its parts in motion!
-
- To run DANMOVIE you need to have a set of pixel frame files. You
- can make these with DANCAD 3D. Read the tutorial in the file
- MANUAL.DOC that comes with DANCAD 3D. The set of frame files must all
- have the same PATH\FILENAME. The filename extensions must be numbered
- consecutively starting with .1 (e.g.: c:\GQ\MY_FRAME.1,
- c:\GQ\MY_FRAME.2, c:\GQ\MY_FRAME.3, c:\GQ\MY_FRAME.4, ...
- c:\GQ\MY_FRAME.24). DANMOVIE v1.0 will read up to 24 frames into
- memory.
-
- There are two ways to load the pixel frame files. One, just enter
- X:\DANMOVIE at the DOS prompt (where X:\ is the path to DANMOVIE.COM).
- And the enter the path\filename (don't enter the .EXT (e.g.: B:FRAME
- not B:FRAME.1)) when prompted for it. Two, enter X:\DANMOVIE
- X:\FRAMES (where X:\FRAMES is the path\filename for the set of pixel
- frame files) at the DOS prompt.
-
- After the frames are loaded you can run them forward (press [F]),
- reverse (press [R]), back n' forth (press [B]), change the speed
- (press [D] or [S]), and pause the action at any point (press [P]).
- There is a pop-up help screen you can get by pressing [H] (for help or
- ^[^] or [Return]). To exit to DOS press ^C or ^Q (^C means press
- the [Ctrl] key at the same time you press the [C] key).
-
- Version 1.10 of DANMOVIE has less flicker when run fast. Version
- 2.x supports 34 CGA color frames, and Hercules (tm) Hercules or EGA
- (tm) IBM high resolution frames. DANCAD3D and DANCAD87 require a
- harddisk to run properly.
-
- If you find this program useful (or just fun) write me and say so.
- If you can think of any changes you would like to see in a up-date of
- any of my programs send me a letter.
