It outputs all the standard DXF, IGES, etc. formats for CAM. It would be totally useless otherwise. At least half the objective in a CAD package is to export the file to another package that will generate a tool path and then that to a humongo CAM-based milling machine that takes large pieces of metal in one end and spits out small pieces of metal at the other end, preferably of a shape that matches your DXF file ;-) -- Tony Alfrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'd Rather Be Sailing" _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
