Wonderful news! Could someone write a suitable disclaimer and post it on the ERPS site? A text file should do well. If folks could be sure to date their drawings and put their names on them there would be enough information for version control, also if you put the software and version you used to create the drawing on the drawing we may be able to avoid a tower of Babel situation. Any idea on a way of creating a file compatibility matrix? Is there one all ready in existence?
Geometric tolerencing? Metric or inch? Custom and practice, will do in a pinch!
