Helping another surveyor to redo an old small survey. Years ago I helped in his office and he was still using Simplicity software and Generic CADD. I enjoyed the 2 letter commands. He eventually switched to Carlson but never updated his archived files. He has not had his old computer with GC on in years but it still sits there and he won't let me touch it?
Anyone still able to convert it?

What do you want to do? I still use my Generic Cadd and Survey 4.0 to play around with plotting and cogo calc's. Give me more details regarding what you are attempting to accomplish.

Somewhere in the Generic Cadd 6 menu's there is a "converter" that will change a .gcd to a .dwg. I fooled around with it a few times but could never get the line weights to display correctly. It might be worth a try.
This is not a convert as such but is a means to turn out the plat. Make the entire plat into a Block, I forget the term in Generic Cad, save it, export the coordinate file, import the coordinate file in Autocad, then import the Block set an endpoint on a coordinate and explode.
