- There are a few issues here. SGI provides two "viewers" to those that purchase
- Autocad from an SGI authorized dealer. This is referred to as the Bonus
- Software supplied from SGI. These viewers directly read dxf files
- and then allow you to do all the things you would expect to be able to do
- on SGI hardware. These viewers are somewhat supported by SGI, but because
- they are not OFFICIAL products, we can just give these out.
-
- Soon, you might be able to read dxf files into a "supported" product.
