I would like to port a PS diagram, in plain vanilla
PostScript (no %% comments, single page, etc), to Autocad or
some other CAD program, since I am in the process of trying
to have it machined into brass.  Can anyone suggest any
resources?  The only 'bad' part of the code is the inclusion
of fonts; if necessary they can be removed.

Would I be better off just scanning a print of the picture,
and forget direct computer-computer translation?  The purist
in me disagrees but I'll knuckle under to the inevitable.

-- 
AutoCAD Release 12 has an ADS application that can read in a Postcript file
into AutoCAD drawing. You can also write back the same drawing to a Postscript
file. The commands are PSIN and PSOUT.

I hope this will help
