This is a good place to post employment or consulting opportunities - looking for programmers with MetaDraw experience.

[Dave Meintrup]

Looking for a qualified programmer with lots of experience developing custom Metadraw apps. I have one that was done a long time ago in MS-DOS originally, then ported to a Windows-like form on the order of FoxPro.  I need it reverse-engineered and re-done from scratch in an ASP.NET or VBNET type program that works with all the modern OS and uses MySQL or Access as the DB.  It is a program my client owns and would also like to make more graphical and user-friendly than it is now.  Essentially the user enters a number of exact measurements to dimensionalize the end product that my client --a jobshop type operation.. would then MAKE for them.  There are numerous shapes and options to pick from in the designing of this niche item...from images that we have made in the past...that could be stored in a repository or library of shapes and variations on those previous designs...thus registering a new, modified design widget. These end-user widgets basically get stamped out of some soft materials that get compressed with the molds that my client makes for them.  All we have to do here is help the end-user/client creatively DESIGN these widgets from a series of check-boxes, images and shape variations...as well as size specs with weight calculations built-into an internal calculation module given the material type's stored specific gravity or weight properties.
Let me know if you feel you are capable of doing this type of project and how soon you could get started on it.
Thanks,
Dave Meintrup
