Hello everyone. I am new to the site, and have a query for the older surveyors. My company used Mountaintop CAD software for about 15 years up to around 2004. The drawing file extension is .MTX. It was great for it??s time, but has been passed up by betters and is now obsolete. We now run AutoCAD with Carlson for surveying.
Our problem is that we have hundreds of old .MTX drawings that we cannot open or convert since our IT department decided to let the old UNIX platform collapse. We get calls constantly to update these older surveys, and must start from scratch in many cases.
If you have a working Mountaintop system and would like to make some extra cash converting .MTX to .DWG or .DXF, please let me know.
Thanks.

Have you tried Bentley
Their software will open and print most any drawing files
It does not handle special text formats to scale so some objects will appear much larger than in the original drawing.
We do have Bentley. I will give it a try. Thanks.
If bentley doesn't work you might try bricscad (intellicad/linux).
Hello, True Corner... Thanks for the suggestion. Do you have Bricscad? If I send you a file, would you be willing to give it a try?

Googling around, it seems the above company own the software rights now. Might be worth contacting them?

Do I own Bricscad??ÿ No.?ÿ I believe that Bricscad has a linux version of intellicad which should work with Unix.
Romans 4657, any luck? we have the same problem.
No luck with any third party software that will work, nor with finding anyone with active MTX software other than EPV in El Paso. They want $200 per file conversion, and are always threatening a shutdown which will require an $1800 re-setup fee. We apparently still have a license for MTX, but need to dedicate a PC to Unix emulation to make it work.
