: Yahoo has a metric converter that's pretty quick. I just made an offset table
: like yours and filled in the numbers in cm and out popped the correct
: conversion in inches, easy :)

: Bill H.

No doubt easier for doing the conversion. For the Nikumi 19 offsets below, I
entered the feet (decimal) numbers from CAD into an excel spreadsheet with
metric equivelents calculated in the second spreadsheet using formulas.
That's the easy part.....

Most of the time, I just use a calculator, enter the converted CAD (Prosurf)
numbers into a graphics package (Adobe Photodeluxe) offsets template, and
then save the image as a .jpg to my photo software ( Agfa Photowise). Then
it's added to the html code I write to create the pages of the manuals. Both
the .html files and .jpg files are FTP's to my website. That's what you are
seeing in the html link below.

After opening the Link, Click on "View", "Source" to see the
Nikumi19Offsets.html code which includes the Nikumi19Offsets.jpg - offsets
file. This is one page of about 400+ for the 3 manuals.
