The variable geometry symbols in the symbol table that I transferred from Mainframe CADAM to CCD, come across as regular symbols. What needs to be done for these symbols to maintain their attributes?
Before you transfer the table (in UNIX using cadtran) with the variable geometry symbols, you need to include a special file in the $CCD_ROOT directory that tells the system that you have some variable geometry symbols. The file is named vargeo (no extension) and is located in $CCD_ROOT/DATATRAN. This file contains the Host symbol table number(s) that contain Variable Geometry symbols. Datatran will create the symbol table that contains Variable Geometry symbols in the $CCD_ROOT/DRAWINGS/system/symbol directory. Once this table is transferred using the UNIX cadtran utility (not available on NT), it can be copied to CCD on NT, using the CCD NT symbol table convention, of course. I would like to grant everyone access to the drawings database in my group. Will I cause any problems if I set the file permissions to 777? I’m running CCD on AIX 5.3. YES, you will cause problems by doing this. On UNIX (AIX and HP-UX), CCD uses the owner execute bit as a plot-data flag. Setting the permissions
